Pokémon: Why Meowth Can Talk In The Anime

Meowth, the only non-legendary Pokémon who can talk, has been an integral part of Team Rocket in the Pokémon anime. Being one of the longest-running animated television programs of all time, Pokémon boasts of having over 1,100 episodes, 23 feature films, and numerous spin-offs. Airing since 1997, Pokémon zeroes in on the adventures of the show’s protagonist, Ash Ketchum, and his friends, which quintessentially include Pokémon battles, the discovery of legendary Pokémon, and mostly hilarious run-ins with Team Rocket, the anti-heroes of the franchise.
