How smart are pokemon? Animal intelligence? Above animal intelligence? Could you teach a Caterpie calculus if you tried hard enough?
>>26161570
I go by the theory that Pokemon are able to be taught anything, but there -might- be level caps to basic actions, like cooking, talking, etc.
>>26161570
I imagine it depends on the species. An alakazam could easily learn theoretical physics, while something like a weedle might barely understand how English works
>>26161590
This, but I guess even the dumbest pokémon spieces would be at the very least on par with a human child
smart enough to pass the Harkness test.

>>26161570
every pokemon can understand a trainer's commands no matter what language they speak. that's pretty smart.
>>26161570
>>26161570
If you pay attention to the Pokédex entries, you would know by now.
>>26161570
Smarter than most animals but only a few are on par with humans. Like Alakazam.
>>26162214
No human has an IQ of 5000. Hell, Most average people don't even reach 150.
>>26162260
If Alakazam were actually smarter than humans, they'd be the ones catching us.
>>26162308
Nothing wrong with a little Poke-domination.
>>26162331I'd be more than okay with that.

>Its IQ exceeds 5,000
>dumb enough to take part in cockfights
>>26161570
It's my headcanon that although every species has their own average IQ, they all understand the English language shortly after they hatch.
>>26161570
Pokemon like Metagross and Alakazam > humans > most other Pokemon > blacks > most Bug-type Pokemon > abos
>>26161602
Even a Pidgey?
>>26162632
>Pokemon like Metagross and Alakazam > humans > most other Pokemon > blacks > most Bug-type Pokemon > abos
>yet Alakazam is still dumb enough to get caught in a Pokéball
Yeah, whatever you say bud.
>>26162642
He could have a high IQ but still lack whatever it is in our brains that desires freedom and a greater sense of purpose.
>>26162494
It's just forced to, you can't find Alakazam in the wild.
>>26162663
This, Alakazams are domesticated.
>>26162494
There is no known official explanation for it yet.
>>26162171
>>26162192
The Pokédex is non-canon.
Depends on the species. Arcanine is about as intelligent as your average dog but Mewtwo is as smart if not smarter then the scientists that created it.
>>26162749
None of that is true.
>>26162758
Actually, Mewtwo was born from a pregnant Mew, who was found deep in the jungles of Guyana, whose embryo had been tampered with to alter it's DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where a scientist performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in Cerulean Cave, accessible only after a Trainer has proven his or her skill at the Indigo Plateau.
>>26162784
What does that have to do with the post you replied to or this thread?
>>26162812
You were inaccurate about Mewtwo and I corrected you.
>>26162758
I'd still fuck Arcanine.
>>26162827
You have a terrible grasp on the English language, Richard. You would still say the scientists created Mewtwo even if they just genetically modified a pre-existing Mew embryo.
I would say to do a poll, but it would be rigged and "We're not allowed to be furries". I would also say to make your own site, but you still insisted on pushing this matter even though you didn't need to. You are not human. You are all nothing.
>>26162880
I see. forgive me for language errors.
>>26162914
Ow the edge
>>26162880
Why the fuck will they modify the embryon if they wanted a Mew clone, they could just raised Mew's spawn. Clearly they got a sample of Mew's DNA or some shit and worked from there. Ignore the Mewtist.
>>26162866
You don't fuck a Arcanine it fucks you.
>>26162995
Because they didn't want a Mew clone, child, they wanted a more powerful version of Mew.
You're all idiots.
Literally.

I love Metagross, but that always triggered me.

t. cuck stuck in a Pokeball
Did your wife's Gothita have any of your egg moves?
>>26161570
I'd say most physics types have intelligence. There's also God.
