Option One: A common thought that Poke'mon can communicate with each other but not their trainers. Instead of roleplaying their name, we write what the poke'mon are actually saying. This almost triples your characters.
Option Two: The ability that Poke'mon and trainers can talk to each other, be it from a microchip that alters brain waves between them, or a special bond that only happens at Avoca. Maybe you can only speak with one poke'mon, possibly learn it in a class?

I chose option 1 because I think it'll be more interesting to keep the trainers more focused on knowing that he/she knows what the Poke'mon is saying. Itll be a test if each trainer does care for their pokemon or not.
The technology would be cool and neat, but lets say it was still there and you put it back in the pokeball....
Another thing is some pokemon, like slowpoke lol, won't be responding much

It'd be more interesting to have option two because then we could have a closer relationship with one Pokemon making that the Pokemon that walked around with us and the Pokemon that our character's would bond with more.

Honestly, while Pokemon are a very central element on this site, the real focus is on the trainers themselves. Gratned the secondary role our pokemon play is very big, but it is exactly that, secondary. True some pokemon like Lucario and Mewtwo and both understand and use human speech, but other than that I really see no reason to actually have pokemon that central to our Roleplays. I feel like it would detract from our characters too much.

Agree with Synook
But I think it'd be cool if we had a...like
"Intelligence class" where the student would learn more how to communicate with their poke'mon through body language etc. etc.
Just to learn how to more understand a poke'mon's state of mind?
But spec has a good point too...

Synook, your response confuses me. You pick option one, which is no communication between poke'mon and trainer, but you then say you'd like to have them talk...
I agree with Phantom/Jojo, and that is why I am asking you all this poll. We could possibly have a class on the Poke'mon's nature/social life, like a science/animal class thing and possibly brush on poke'mon speaking english.

I like option one. While option two has it's good side, I fear it would distract the trainers too much in its own way. If it were just special circumstances (like meowth from the show) then I'd be fine with that, but every pokemon can talk is just a bit gimmicky. Plus, I always liked in the show that the trainers and pokemon could communicate through their bonds without words. Using words would almost feel like it would diminish that.

well in the shows/movies the pokemon already communicate with each other - we just don't understand them.
and meowth can talk - so I really like the idea of being able to talk to the 1 pokemon you own (but not all of them?) but I really don't think it should be limited to the one option because the pokemon do communicate. I mean in that one movie (rofl 'that one') with mew they had a HUGE conversation, back and forth, to stop the chaos.
can't remember which on I clicked earlier >.<

Option two makes it more complicated that it needs to be.
