This is an odd question, but I recently just realized Pokemon has very little disabled representation. I find it especially odd because Pokemon has so many amazing chances for representation, and they love the small details showing people’s relationship with their pokemon. Like people who are wheelchair bound could have Machamps to help carry them up the stairs. Or someone who is hard of hearing having a Chatot relay what other people say. Or having an Espeon as a seeing eye pokemon and an emotional support. I’m curious if anybody has decided to include any of these sorts of ideas into a ROM hack.

    I’ve never thought about this, and I’m beginning to get into modding and emulation and such again, I’d love to make a rom hack with other disabled characters such as myself, I’ll keep you updated
