Despite apparently speaking only their own species' name, Pokémon seems to be able to communicate with each other without issue. In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', there are subtitles for what the Pokémon are saying, and evidently they could understand each other perfectly. Communication between Pokémon has become especially crucial in [[Double Battle]]s, [[Triple Battle]]s, and [[Tag Battle]]s. An example of this can be seen from the conversation between Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]] in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', when communication between those two Pokémon was vital in saving their Trainers. | Despite apparently speaking only their own species' name, Pokémon seems to be able to communicate with each other without issue.

While it was originally assumed that all cries by Pokémon were the same, dedicated fans have been able to find what appear to be patterns, such as Ash's Pikachu saying "Piiika-Chuuuuuuuu" when using {{m|Thunderbolt}} or "Pika-Pikachu" when referring to himself. Dawn's Piplup also shows patterns, such as "Piplup-lup-lup" when using {{m|BubbleBeam}}, or "Pipluurrrp" when using {{m|Whirlpool}}, with the 'lup' becoming distinctly watery. | While it was originally assumed that all cries by Pokémon were the same, dedicated fans have been able to find what appear to be patterns, such as Ash's Pikachu saying "Piiika-Chuuuuuuuu" when using {{m|Thunderbolt}} or "Pika-Pikachu" when referring to himself, Pika-Pi when referring to Ash. | ||
