The Accessibility of Pokemon Champions

Hi everyone, blind pokemon enjoyer here. Ever since I was small, I used to love watching pokemon on tv and playing the games. But, as I've gotten older and my vision's basically gone, my love of competitive has grown. About a year ago, I started playing vgc on showdown a lot and with the release of pokemon champions on mobile, I was hoping for there to finally be a screen reader accessible pokemon game that I can play.
Come release day, I downloaded the game to find that from the very first screen it was not accessible :(
I think that compared to all other pokemon games which have some elements of exploring open areas, which would need a lot of time to rework to be accessible and I understand why they aren't, pokemon champions only really needs screen reader accessibility, which I'm sure something as large as pokemon wouldn't struggle to find the time or people to do.
I'm making this post both as an awareness thing but also, does anyone know where I can further inform whoever works on the appp of this issue because I'm pretty sure they don't scroll reddit lmao and if it's even worth doing or if there's no point because they won't do anything about it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How do I beat whimsicott Basculegion with this team skill improvement

Hey everyone. So I've been using the team that got 2nd at naic https://pokepast.es/5bbc6601195cfd33 (very original I know), but I've been running into a problem. The lead of whims and basc seems to cook this team. I can't set up tr, since it could just get doubled and knocked out, I can lead Aerodactyl and Gambit, because ty can kill my Aero and while I might kill the Basc, I no longer have speed control and they do. Also, sucker punch won't kill most Basc because I'm not black glasses and most Basc are EVd to live my sucker punch. The best lead I've come up with against this is Zard y and Kingambit so the sun weakens the basc so they can't kill my kingambit with a double up. But that lead is weak into whims + Chomp which big 6 has and AAGH!!! There's just so many things they can do against this team :( I mean, it got second at naic so there has to be something. Can anyone please help me please?
