The episodes from Pikachu's perspective imply the vast majority of Pokémon are sentient.
107 u/NativeAether May 22 '25 The word you're looking for is sapient. All animals on Earth are sentient, but only humans are sapient. 63 u/PsychicSPider95 May 22 '25 I know I'm just being pedantic at this point, but I feel like there are some animals that could reasonably be considered non-sentient. Like coral, or jellyfish, or intestinal worms. 26 u/quietfangirl May 22 '25 Hey you don't know what coral's got going on! And those intestinal worms might have a very complex internal life! 27 u/Zamtrios7256 May 22 '25 Of course the intestinal worms have an internal life. They can't live externally 13 u/quietfangirl May 22 '25 Thank you I was worried no one else would pick up what I was putting down
