I don’t love to lose friends or even talk to

I don’t love to lose friends or even talk to people. I don’t like playing the latest series of video games. I don’t like to spend hours on my computer on any given day, because I know I should. I don’t like to play the game that I love more than anything else. I don’t like that Pokémon game that I played on my 16-year-old sister's birthday.

Pokémon has always been a sort of fantasy. But it has always been more than just a game for my own enjoyment. It has always been fun.

I remember once sitting down to play Pokémon Red and Green on the same day. I was sitting in the dining room of my bedroom, and I thought to myself, "That's really cool, and I really wish I could play that one too."

On one of their most recent Pokémon games, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, I was thinking about where to go next. I was sitting there, thinking to myself, "I really want to play the game that I love more than anything else. Is there a way that I could play it that I don’ve really played before?" I could think of four possibilities. I could go to my favorite stores or online, explore the game's dungeons and world, or play it with my friend in the living room, and then go to a store to re-invent my childhood memories for more fun. I could still play the game, but I wouldn’t be able to play more of it. I’ve never really thought about how I could play the game without my own eyesight, and I don’t want to do that. Even as I watched some of the characters, and watched some of the games, and watched some of the characters I played with, and watched some of the games I played with, and watched some of the games I played with, and I kept thinking about the games I could play without my own eyesight.
