>>32582870>are there multiple articuno's?There's nothing that suggests that, so probably not.
But it's also never been said there is only one, so there COULD be more.
There are a shit ton of them in the anime though.
>is Meowth the only pokemon that can speak?All Pokemon can speak.
Almost all can understand human language. You communicate with them in battle all the time.
Most, if not all, lack the vocal cords to speak in human language, though.
There are a few who can speak in human language. Chatot, for one, is known for speaking. A Murkrow in Johto has also been shown speaking.
You hold a conversation with a Zoroark in Unova. But that only when he transforms into a human, so its possible Zoroark also lack the vocal cords to speak, unless they transform.
Additionally, Rotom in SM can also speak. As is the case with most Pokemon, it understands human language, and the Pokedex provides it means to speak, further proving that Pokemon can understand human language, just lack the ability to use it.
>what's it really like inside a Pokeball?A place for the Pokemon to live in. There's enough evidence to conclude that they are just shrunken in size and live inside the Poke Ball, so the Pokemon must have just open space for them. Depending on the ball, the environment inside differs. A Dive Ball will be watery, while a Net Ball will be net-y.
Additionally, it's been outright stated in SSB that Poke Ball provide a comfortable space for Pokemon to live in. That is the only time it was directly commented on. But it's SSB, so make what you will of it.
>did Ash and Red's dad both die in the ancient unspoken Pokemon war?There's almost zero information available on this. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't. There's nothing suggesting either way.
>roughly how many different Pokemon League Champions are there?We have seen a total of 15.
16 with the retconned Wallace.
Blue, Red, Lance, Ethan, Steven, Brendan, Cynthia, Lucas, Alder, N, Iris, Nate, Diantha, Calem and Sun.
