Some of them are dumbasses but I think I get the point that they’re more human-like (they often have anthropomorphic traits) than real animals. Well, except for like, Muk, Xurkitree, etc. but I don’t think this conversation includes those lol.
yeah I mean there’s your slowpokes and stuff but in the anime and stuff you can clearly see Pikachu/etc are generally as intelligent as the child protagonists
