"Suggestion: Add wheelchair options to clothing screens"


#PokemonGO: 000...and possibly a bike too. Pokemon Go is huge among the wheelchair using community - I know 6 people well who are unable to leave the house without them and 4 play PoGo.Please give them (and me) a manual and powerchair wheelchair option, ideally amputee limb options etc. We're human and while I've got a good relationship with my chair, some people - especially those using them since toddler-hood, consider them part of their own bodies. It'd cost little but some designer hours, code + asset review and patch commit (unless you want to add them to the front end in place of a walking person \o/), but the benefit would be twofold - people would actually feel 'seen' by Niantic, and you'd get a heap of exposure from gaming publications and social media sites (remember the ones that came out on XBox Live?For reference:XBox Live manual 'sports' chair and upper limb amputee seen hereSuggested powerchair stye - Permobil F5 Corpus or Quickie Jive M² Sedeo Ergo etcSuggested manual chair style - Ti-Lite Aero-T or Top End Crossfire T6, Ti-Lite ZRA, Quickie Q7, Küschall K-Series etc.With approx 2-5% of the population depending on country, social history and government funding using wheelchairs, and 1-2% under of a population under 50, there are a probably a few hundred thousand of us out there who'd like to see Eevee sitting on our shoulders while driving, or having Tyranitar really towering over us!Yes folks, I know it's 'just a virtual representation' and 'just a game' - but many people get enjoyment out of avatars which are as realistic as possible for them. It's unrealistic for me to walk 20km a day on feet, and kind of itches at my mind every time I look at it! - I welcome constructive criticism btw! via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2hwk8su
