To answer your question, I use something on my phone called voice over. It is a setting you turn on that will talk and read whatever is on the screen so I can type and use other apps on my phone easily. Also, to answer someone else, I am totally blind.

One huge prayer for Wooffle for spending over 100 bucks on telling john what to do in this game

[@nigoulenoblehiboux9812]

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? Anyone can beat a turn based game blindfolded if someone else help. It's not that big of a deal since it's not supposed to be a valid speedrun for a category but it still tarnish the accomplishment of finishing the run.

[@WooffleDee]

@@nigoulenoblehiboux9812 not really in this case, there were many times when chat was just outright wrong in their advice or John just didn’t know how to apply their advice, especially with the delay between the message and the donation actually going through

[@nigoulenoblehiboux9812]

@@WooffleDee even then having a message is pretty much like peeking even if it didn't help that much I still think it's less impressive. He still clearly have and put a lot of effort into it but if I compare that to people that did the same thing on this and other games without any messages it's pretty meh

[@WooffleDee]

@@nigoulenoblehiboux9812 this is one of those things that’s really hard to show in the actual video but as someone who was there for basically the entire challenge chat really wasn’t much of a benefit as you think. For every helpful message there were about 10 troll messages and a lot of time Chat was just messing with John. John rarely ever actually listened to chat seriously because of this and it’s not like chat tried to backseat during the actual hard parts of the challenge

Playing Pokémon completely blind for over 20 years now, from generation 1 all the way up to generation 8, although it got harder from generation 6 onward. Memorizing all Pokémon and attack sounds was the main hobby for a huge part of my life. Nice to see the sighted person's perspective on playing a game the way I usually do things. Still learning alot (I never found the poison heal in Viridian Forest before :D). Continue your great videos, I'm enjoying them alot.

Hello. I have been watching your videos for a little while now. Well, to be more precious, listening. You see, I am actually blind. I have a fan of the Pokemon series for ab 13ish years now. You have no idea how much I appreciate you making this video/challenge. My point here is that everybody has seen how difficult it is to play a Pokemon game while blind. This needs to change. Accessiblity for disabilities should be considered more for video games. Please, reach out and spread the word.

[@FrostedGeulleisia]

Pretty sure someone already explained this but what happened with the youngster on the Nugget Bridge was a case of perfect timing, (even more precise than a frame), tldr: you made the game switch music in the middle of what's called a V-Blank. It played the correct track - but doesn't load either one of channels 0, 1 or 2 correctly as the V-Blank interrupts this procedure, making their playback end immediately when it starts. This can only be done with music transitions that don't involve a fade-out. Simply saying - you're pretty lucky to have had this happen.

[@leagueofmnster8671]

Cool vid, an idea to future vids would be battle tower, i m self focusing on 100% all the games and black 2 and diamond are the farest i have come in any games with only missing the battle towers, i have been searching for a while now (allmost 3 years) there is no really good guides for battle towers so would be nice with a vid or 2 on how to compelt the battle towers in the main line games
