I went on a Pokémon Journey in Real Life Japan! | From Pixels to Peaks

I visited Japan to climb Mt. Fuji and beat Pokémon Gold and Silver by battling Trainer Red while upon the mountain during the off-season for hiking. As a legally blind traveler and gamer, this experience was a unique adventure that paralleled and intersected From Pixels to Peaks.

This is a very different video, but it's a personal story that blends my passions of gaming and travel + adventure! This is my most ambitious video yet, and I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I enjoyed putting it together! 😎

[@shannonblanton5851]

I’m so happy that you got to bring your dream come true. So awesome and wholesome. Can’t wait for more videos

[@clownearound5751]

I’d been looking forward to watching this video after watching Quinlan’s a few weeks ago. Thank you for sharing your experience of this fantastic achievement James, I really enjoyed the way you incorporated real life and the gameplay together. Best wishes from England

[@upnorthvlogs]

That’s great John I hope you get your own channel someday

[@beelzabelle]

[@waterguy956]

As a fellow legally blind man I want to say Congrats and Thanks for showing what a blind person can do.

[@knowing3979]

Thank you very much!

Hi James Rath!

Thanks for the video. Very different from your other videos. An interesting mix of Pokémon and Mt. Fuji climb, but I could see the connection and I liked it. I have also climbed Mt. Fuji once in a rainy night to see the sun rise from the top. It was a dream come true from my childhood. There is a Japanese proverb that says: "If you never climb Mt. Fuji, you’re a fool, and if you climb it more than once, you’re a crazy fool." Regards from Helsinki, Finland, from a Spaniard 🙂

[@jamesrath]

Thank you very much! I'd love to revisit and catch the sunrise on the summit for take #2! Thanks for sharing!!

[@blind_gamer16]

This was awesome! I can't believe that you tackled Mount Fuji AND defeated Red. What an adventure. A childhood dream, accomplished. Congratulations James! This video is going to help me accomplish my childhood dream someday!

[@jamesrath]

Glad you enjoyed it! You got this!

[@retiresatisfied]

Respect man

[@XEO69]

You're too strong

[@Genecardo]

Curious, you travel alone.

[@david23374]

Does someone know who designs his thumbnails

[@jamesrath]

Hi, I do my own thumbnails actually. I use Adobe Photoshop Express.

[@david23374]

I really like them!! Do you by any chance know anybody who can make me similar ones? @@jamesrath

[@The.Ghost-8976.]

Hey man, great KZbin videos! I am a fully blind music, producer and rapper and was wondering if you would maybe like to do a video together. Not sure if you have ever made music or are interested but would be great to have two blind people together doing something. Let me know and would be great to work together.
