So, a few things.

1. I've been listening to this game, and there are a lot of sounds for stuff. Have you tried surfing on Lapras, running around on Tauros/Stoutland, etc, and if so, how accessible is that?
2. If hitting left on the d-pad actually turns you to the left instead of making you step directly left, how do you figure out angles? Are routes and towns pretty big and wide open, mostly? Because I could see this getting really, really awkward.
3. There is a dance-based trial on the second island. You have to figure out the differences between specific dances, which means I guess we have to just guess and hope, right?
4. There's another trial on that same island which has you running around a jungle collecting stuff. It occurs to me that if the game's movement is truly 3d, it is going to be a right pain to pick things up if their locations are specific. Have you gotten there, and if so, how did you manage?

It also occurs to me that this game's version of Pokemon Amie, not to mention the optional Poke-pelago, will probably be inaccessible. Plus clothes (which are just for show anyway). Plus photos. I also happen to know that eventually you will have to push boulders (like Strength), and I can't imagine that in full 3d without sight.

I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but I feel like with each successive generation, blind players are getting less out of it.

That said, speaking for myself, I am absolutely not going to get a 3DS just so I can fumble around and maybe get 1/10 the experience this game will offer a blind player.

I'll be getting this later today. King zombie, are you using a guide? Think marriland is in the middle of writing his, they've always been really solid in the past.

I am not using a guide, never thought about it, I usually use LP's to find where to go and just play.

I've played basically every pokemon generation up to and including generation V. Those games are top-down and grid-based, so you could usually follow walls and you were fine. Red, yellow and blue were a bit tricky because you sometimes needed to use an HM like Surf or Strength, and there was no indication of where to do it. Gold, Silver and Crystal let you click on a barrier you could interact with, and the only really frustrating part of that game was the Ice Path. In the third generation, Ruby and Sapphire were almost a hundred percent playable, with only the sixth gym really providing serious headaches (but there's a literally step-by-step guide on GameFAQs). Diamond and Pearl were also pretty good, though a couple of areas have loud, bassy music, which impedes one's ability to follow walls. In one such area, there's also a rainstorm, and the place you're looking for is a bridge which is not actually reached by following walls. You sort of have to find the pillar or edge of the bridge, get around it and then move up onto it and above part of the route. It's awkward, hung me up for days. The fifth generation, particularly black or white 2, are excellent for the most part. The sixth gym is not doable at all without help, and the fourth will probably require you to get some help riding the rollercoaster. I've never fully beaten that one, but I've gotten to the Elite 4, anyway. I just never picked up my game file.

All that said, if Sun and Moon are no longer grid-based, navigation gets three or four times as hard, particularly in tighter spaces. You guys try it out, see how well it works. I personally don't feel like fumbling.

You are almost at a kind of hard part in the game.

After the festival, you should be at your house. Just go outside and lilly will tell you to go to Professor Kukui's lab.
From the toros go right and up to the corner and go down until you jump off a ledge I think. The lab is somewhere to the right of there.

Do you guys use the modern XP share from generation 6 and 7?

I personally don't use it, because I want to know what my Pokemons will learn and grinding experience doesn't bore me much when it doesn't have to be excessive. Plus it was mostly during grinding sessions that I encountered the shiny Pokemons i possess in previous versions so why not continuing like that.

I usually look up move lists on serebii.

I'm using rowlet for my first playthrough. I'd pick litten just because I haven't seen a single playthrough on youtube that's used it.

Yep, I picked it up yesterday. How do you equip ZCrystals?

The whole idea of the exp. share totally trashes any difficulty the game might have had. It killed x and y, it killed omega ruby and alpha sapphire, and it's going to kill sun and moon, at least as far as difficulty goes. It's the lazy man's levelling tool, and I loathe it. Worse, I'm pretty sure that it's on by default when you get it, rather than being an optional item you can turn on at will. If I ever played a game from gen 6 onward, my first order of business would be turning the friggin' thing off. I'm something of a purist. I know how to level pokemon. Knowing who's levelling is extremely good, and I don't really need experience shared to an entire party.
That's just me though. Obviously go ahead and use it if you want. Don't let my grumbling stop you. lol
