Jumping spiders are the same, they can identify and recognise humans from prey/background and calculate complex paths to hunt and avoid detection while doing so (even adapting to hunting other, larger spiders). But at the end of the day, it's just a bug with little intelligence to speak of, when compared to a human, despite having a larger-than-average for its size brain.
Pokémon have been depicted as not only being able to understand complex human speech, but having the emotional capacity to understand their trainers' feelings and intents (Ash's pokémon emerging from their balls when they realised he was trying to tank the cold and keep them all warm, to keep every one of them warm by all snuggling in on top of one another in that episode they were trapped in an ice cave-in) as well as being shown from the outset to have their own language, which the series approved talking pokémon has confirmed on many different occasions, in many different ways (latest I remember was telling the audience and TR he couldn't understand the UB's speech, due to them not being from his world). It's pitiful, you lost before you'd even grown up to get pissy over this and you still squeal over it.
