AYRT
I didn't say people couldn't be sad that they feel they can't play. I said that changing the game so that people didn't have to leave the house would make the game completely different and take away the entire point of the game.

Disabled people can play the game if they can leave their houses. I saw you were saying something about having more Pokémon spawn while doing errands, and if someone can do errands, they can play. Near my house there is a LGBT coffeehouse with outdoor seating that pretty much always has a lure on it. And there is an outdoor memorial chessboard that is another pokestop. Anyone can sit at either location and collect Pokémon. And it still fits the original purpose of getting people out and seeing things and potentially meeting others.

It is more difficult for people who don't live in a city to do that, but that is true for a lot of people, not just disabled people. And it sucks for everyone who can't play but wants to do so. But I don't agree that changing the game's basic core foundation is something they should have to do.

And for the record, while I am not disabled, I have nerve damage in a leg. Walking is difficult and I do it with a pronounced limp that often leads to other issues. The extent I have been able to play Pokémon Go has been to walk down my street to the aforementioned coffee shop and chessboard and sit there before shuffling home. And that isn't even every day, as a lot of days work has taken so much out of me that I can't even do that. I am well aware that I will not get as many Pokémon as others, I won't really hatch eggs, I can't really battle in gyms, and that I pretty much am not getting the full experience. And I wish I could. But I make do with what I can do.
