Blind Person Conquering Pokemon Platinum, Chapter 3- to the Relic Badge! (K-Final)

This is a recording of me, a person who was born blind, completing Pokémon Platinum. This installment shows me going from just after beating Gardenia, through to beating Fantina for the Relic Badge. Now that I can use cut, I head north and cut the tree blocking the way to the Eterna Galactic hideout. After beating some Galactic grunts and collecting some items, I face off against Jupiter. I then collect the explorer kit and bicycle, and then head south down Cycling Rode. Next, I head into the Wayward Cave and prepare to travel through it. I decided not to bother with Flash in this cave, to help prove that I really am navigating using sound. Unfortunately I did not have enough repels to last me through the entire cave, but I needed to level my team up anyway. After helping Mira find her way out of the cave, collecting items and facing trainers, I then head across route 207, a portion of MT. Coronet and finally route 208 to Hearthome City. There, I head to the contest hall, speak with Carah, my mother and Fantina, then head into Amity Square to get the very useful amulet coin. Unfortunately, the only way to get through the gym is to guess which door is the correct one. I did not show the failed attempts. Fantina- Platinum sure cranks up the heat on this one! This fight actually gave me a bit of trouble, but I finally win and receive the Relic Badge! The bump sounds the game makes are very helpful in navigating, because I can use them to tell not only if I am hitting a wall or object, but how large an object is and where pathways are. Many objects can be used as landmarks that help me orient myself to cities and such. I also learn Pokémons cries and use those to identify Pokémon. Answers to frequently asked questions: To navigate on my Computer I use a program called JAWS. It reads the words to me and allows me to navigate my pc with ease. Google "Jaws for Windows" Or visit http://www.freedomscientifi... for a downloadable demo. To type I've memorized the keys. The F and J keys have bumps on them, so I was taught to orient myself using those to find all of the other keys. During fifth grade I had someone come in for about 6 hours, once a week for about 2 months. She trained me on typing, using Jaws, word processing and a little bit of internet skills. I have been using computers for many years and it is without a doubt an essential skill for a blind person today as it has become the most accessible method for accomplishing everything from work to play.
