>>47042997Its interesting, yet inconsistent. I don't think Pokemon naturally can read the human languages, however they do seem to naturally understand human speech...despite the fact that the dex says some specific pokemon have that ability. Personally, I like the idea that these creatures can understand us naturally, they shouldn't be able to read, write, or speak like a human unless they actually practice and learn how to however.
>>47044343This inconsistency is common, and present everywhere. Even in the anime, Lapras for example is explicitly mentioned in the anime to understand human language, yet ALL pokemon seem to display that understanding.
