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 at 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).

While all mons seem to speak the same Monese "language", dialects and (sub?)languages are known to 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.
  • Dragon mons have a Draconic dialect based on Skyrim as well.
  • Some Pokémon also speak in Al Bhed from Final Fantasy.
