Can Pokémon read/write?
Quote:

The thing is we don't really know how intelligent Pokemon really are. Even our knowledge of the intelligence of real life animals is limited. My thought is that Pokemon can understand commands and at least some human language depending on how they are trained and how much they interact with humans. Being able to read and write is a different skillset from understanding the language though. I don't think they could write, but I suppose they could be taught to read human language if trained to, or at least they could be trained to be able to respond to written words read like some service dogs and other service animals are.

I suppose it varies wildly by species too like. Some are just probably not real bright but like. Alakazam? there's no way it can't read or write, right?
|
C'mon, if you're talking about Alakazam, that thing can use a spoon. So why not a pen?
|
If Pokémon in the Mystery Dungeon universe and Meowth from the anime can, I don't see why others can't.
|
Unown can arrange themselves to spell out words, does that count??
|
I'd imagine Smeargle being someone who can write with its tail. But a Psychic-type Pokemon can probably draw with their minds, and that includes writing.
|
i feel like writing isnt particularly limited by the pokemon's motor skills really? like, writing on a piece of paper like how we do, only a few can do that for sure. but taking a stick and drawing letters in the dirt, or fingerpainting it? i think a lot of them could do that.
|
Depends on the pokemon, I guess.
|
this then begs the question: if pokémon can read, and some can write, why do they not communicate with those methods? where are the books written by pokémon authors yo
