There are a few Pokémon that are able to speak the human language, such as {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s {{p|Doduo}} in {{v|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and a {{p|Murkrow}} who appeared in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Generation IV]] remakes. A {{p|Zoroark}} in [[Lostlorn Forest]] has a fluent conversation with the player whilst disguised as a male Backpacker, showing that some Pokémon are capable of holding conversations in the human language. | There are a few Pokémon that are able to speak the human language, such as {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s {{p|Doduo}} in {{v|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and a {{p|Murkrow}} who appeared in the [[Team Rocket HQ]], in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Generation IV]] remakes.

It is unknown to what extent Pokémon understand the human language. {{p|Lapras}}'s Pokédex entry cites its ability to comprehend the human language, possibly implying that not all Pokémon can fully understand the human language. It seems that Pokémon can generally understand the human language at least enough to comprehend their Trainer's commands, as demonstrated by [[Lance]] telling his {{p|Dragonite}} to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} on a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in the Generation II games and their remakes and various Trainers directly commanding their Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer]]. | It is unknown to what extent Pokémon understand the human language. {{p|Lapras}}'s Pokédex entry cites its ability to comprehend the human language, possibly implying that not all Pokémon can fully understand the human language.
