[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Lord Windos]

Please, tell me its possible Windos. A talking Gengar would be awesome to be in the Team Arial/Reiner. Jessy and James have a talk Meow, so why not a talk Gengar to us? Please please.

Felicia can talk, actually.  She has to use Assist to do so, but she can!

Jessie and James' Meowth is a rather...special case.  Mostly because he can't use moves since learning how to talk.

There's also a reeeaaallly expensive Surprise! for a pokemon learning how to speak without losing their ability to use moves.

The 'Pokémon Can Fully Comprehend and Communicate Using Human Language Surprise' has a 'Floor'/Minimum Cost of 200 XP, but that price is only for naturally Smart and/or Brainy Pokémon , like Slowkings and most Psychic types. If your Pokémon is a feral beast or not so smart, the XP cost rises accordingly. Having Insight Surprises on a Pokémon can make the PCFCCUHLS Surprise cheaper, and having high enough personal Insight on a Pokémon will have them learn how to act more Human like automatically, but that takes a Loooooot of Insight Surprises.

I could say that Melchoir can learn Assist as a Surprise, though, but I'm not sure how much XP that would cost him yet. He's a Cat Pokémon like Felicia and Delcatty, the two most promenient users of the Move I can name on the top of my head.
