>>44563126>>44563303>then it uses the PMD series as if that has any connon ties to the rest of the franchise.Saying PMD is canon is stretching it a little bit as it is a different universe (though they have a human world so... kind of), but it is the only franchise really that shows Pokemon talking among one another in a deep way and the Pokemon Park games which also shows pokemon in a similar light. If you consider the anime canon then yes Pokemon are of human level intelligence and emotions as Meowth exists. And Meowth's Pokedex entries do not say anything about them having high levels of intelligence, a regular meowth just learned how to talk, has advanced knowledge on technology, and is incredibly independent and mature (Even more so than his teammates and our protagonist). So yeah, its canon that all pokemn have the capability to become that intelligent, they just have to want to do it.
Also again, that guy mentioned that its not gaurenteed to be canon as a lot of that stuff is jokes, but its very possible and you can't say yes or no, its a maybe.
