>>45644700Which gets weird with Pokemon like Mewtwo, Slowking, and even some psychic types like Gardevoir. But eh, we're not meant to question that. Pokemon are creatures that vary in intelligence and what not by the writer of the story. If they want a Pokemon to be just as smart as humans, talk, and be treated as an equal they will show that. If they want to show a Pokemon as a beast with low intelligence and no thinking skills, then they will show that.
The whims of the writer and story is all that matters.
