Can you read Pokemon language?

Only a little bit.

is it even standardized or do they just put random squiggles

At first I thought it was stylized Japanese but I can't pick out the different characters. I noticed it changed from the old language

>>24974511
Just going by the way it looks, I believe that the current language is very deliberate. It probably can be decoded. The previous language was just gibberish that sorta-kinda looked like text.

I think it might be gibberish

It is an actual language. PocketMonsters has done a deciphering of it:

I didn't realize people are really into this, the only pokemon language that people can read is Unown
>>

The neat thing is that in the anime, there are writing styles that correspond to Katakana, Hiragana, and the western alphabet (granted, they're all just letter swaps of the western alphabet). The one that's supposed to be the stand in for western letters have a bunch of random dots thrown in, so it looks like the writing style evolved from the Unown.

But there are different types of contests for that, Dawn could easily win.
