>>45963348Correct me if I'm wrong, but even in the Anime, in Japan fully evolved Pokemon used to make more animal-ish sounds than saying their names, yes? Has that changed? Or was I wrong in the first place? Regardless, it hasn't even been 10 years since the B2W2 ad that disregarded Pokemon saying their names in general, so it feels more like an anime/brand recognition thing than anything else.
