How Pokémon Go is creating a barrier for gamers with disabilities

There is no viral phenomenon that's brought people together quite like Pokémon Go. The augmented reality gaming app has taken the internet and world by storm, as people are desperate to catch and collect the characters, making friends and getting fit along the way.

I'm a huge fan of Pokemon Go and all the good things it's doing for the world. But I've been thinking a lot about this as well--that it's not set up to be played by anyone with mobility issues. I've heard of some people getting Uber/Lyft rides to and from different locations to catch Pokemon and train at gyms. But that can also be expensive.

Does anyone have any solutions? Ideas for how the game could be played by EVERYONE, regardless of mobility? Is there a way we could contact the creators of the game with our ideas? A lot of the solutions I can come up with take away the great things about the game--the community that's found by going out to meet with others in different places.
