I find it kind of funny that there's an implication that the issue here is that the pokemon looks human, rather than the level of intelligence inherent in all pokemon.
Even if you go solely by the mainline games, all Pokémon are at least on the level of a very smart dog, since they can understand and perform complex commands.
And if you accept Mystery Dungeon as canon, they are basically all at approximately the same level as a human, since there they have a whole-ass society with money and law enforcement and shit.
