I was pointing out that Shruikan has already expressly said that that in this canon, even Psychic types would still only be able to send feelings instead of actual words, and that level of sapience is the maximum communication ability from Pokemon to human. From what I understood of this post and the use of first-person responding to the presumably red words of a Ninetales, you (Neo) were having your character directly communicate even before turning into a Ninetales. Yes, now you have entered that "inner level," and yes, you are now a sapient human being inside of a Psychic Pokemon's body and likely capable of that, but just pointing out that mistakes were made prior to that so that those mistakes don't happen again, because it's easy to do on accident, no big deal.

Like I said, missing the knowledge that they wouldn't be able to do this is fine, we're human, it happens and it's an easy thing to do. It's okay to make a mistake, let's just acknowledge mistakes were made and move on knowing better. Or, maybe we'll get lucky and Shruikan might shift the canon to accommodate. Totally up to them as the DM on what they want to do. Either way, it's all good and we're all up to speed.
Yeah, I realized I messed up, I was thinking along the lines of the anime and games with this regard, since I'd say that's what's used most of the time if it's not a PMD setting.

I'm going to try and correct this since it does create a lot of disconnects and it makes it difficult to keep going when there's a double standard with the RP canon and how Pokémon communicate. With that said, I'm going to revise what's in post #12 and then delete what's in post #14, #19, #26, and #28.

Nathan "Neo" Winterfield won't pull the tails of the Ninetales and thus, won't trigger a curse to become one himself. So consider everything that happened after that moment null and void and just pretend like it never happened. I think the only person this really affects is Morzone, but I think if he does the same, we can get around this.

Otherwise it's broken and just doesn't make sense, as you said.
