All species of Pokémon in the main games and main anime have at minimum human-level cognition with some exceeding humans. Pokémon can understand what humans say and other Pokémon. The Pokémon are just speaking a shared language that humans don't understand.
N can understand what Pokémon say, he directly talks to the player's Pokémon and can translate what Pokémon say.
There's also Dr. Footstep who translates what the Player's Pokémon says.

Most other Pokémon could talk out loud in a human manner too if their biology allows for it and if they feel it's worth learning which most don't feel the need or they have some other means like telepathy.
