Monese
Monese is the name given to the language spoken by Pokémon. It is not normally able to be understood by humans, but anyone who has used the Human-Pokémon armband can understand it, and it can be learned just like any human language.
Known methods for humans to understand Monese include:
- Being pretty much raised by Pokémon from a young age. (N and Fool).
- Using a Psychic type to translate. (Tagg before his trip to the PMD universe.)
- Via a Glitch (Wolf).
- Visiting the Dream World (Crewe).
- Being transformed into a Pokémon either through a trip to the PMD universe (Tagg) or by wearing the human to Pokémon armband (Rex).
- Being formally taught the language (Umbramatic).
- Having a Pokémon directly translate through electronic methods (Ren)
While all mons seem to speak the same Monese "language", dialects and (sub?)languages are known to exist:
- Dialects of real world languages exist.
- Members of some Murkrow Mafias speak in "Russian Monese".
- There also exists Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and Italian.
- Kanto and Johto Nidoran employ Lapine from Watership Down in formal situations. (Information available at Bits'n'Bob-stones)
- Dragon mons have a Draconic dialect based on Skyrim as well. (Information available at http://thuum.org/ )
- Some Pokémon also speak in Al Bhed from Final Fantasy Ⅹ. (Information available at Al Bhed (Final Fantasy Wiki))
