>>46583673>majority of Pokémon want to be experts in battle when they can just live a happy quiet life?Pokemon battle for a lot of different reasons. Strength, growing to evolve, and even respect or clout. With that in mind I don't think learning how to speak should cost more than one moveslot, three moves is plenty to get a Pokemon well trained for battle and even reach their max level and evolutionary line. Its like having a Heracross with the moves:
>Aerial Ace>Close Combat>Pin Missile>TalkingThis pokemon should be perfectly fine in battles and fully capable in a quiet happy life thereafter.
