I honestly think that it's fine, since he's been a plushie at some point, and therefore he could have an understanding similar to Pokéform-induced monese translation.

Hmm...no, that's my only one. I like the idea, and I can see it being fun, but on the flip side, it needs to have some sort of limiter.

I do see what you mean by it being too limiting, though. I'm sure there's a better idea.

Hmm, limits might be a good idea... Anyone got any suggestions?

Hmm... Perhaps the first time he understands each Plushie, the Plushie has to talk directly to him? Not sure if this is the best wording to get my point across...

That could work, but it may not be limiting enough... Let's see some other opinions.

How about this:

Being able to talk to plushies is a two-fold skill.

1. He has to have talked to them while in his Pokeform.

OR

2. He has to have a plushie that he's previously talked to present.

So, for example, if he's in his Pokeform, and Plushie A talks to him, he will always be able to understand Plushie A. Now, if he's human, and talking to Plushie A, and Plushie B is around and decides to start talking, he will be able to talk to Plushie B. Since this has happened once, he'll always be able to talk to Plushie B after this.

Basically, a plushie that he's had direct contact with can act as a conduit for other plushies.

Ooh, that one gives me some ideas, and allows for easy increasing of WHO he can understand... I like it!

Now we just have to find an abandoned plushie in Almer and I'm all set. >:3

It should totally be a Volcarona plushie~

...Nevermind, nobody would be cruel enough to abandon a Volcarona plushie. tongue

I was actually thinking a Shinx plushie, based on my oldest surviving RL plushie (A lion I got for my first birthday.) A Volcarona could work its way into Umbra's plushie hoard eventually. >:3

I suppose it's not as concerning as Lake vs Volcarona was.

Oh, look, Volcarona are being brought up again. We should all spend the rest of the night thinking about Volcarona. Volcarona are a wonderful subject.

How are you talking?!

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Hm... Maybe Pent should jump on this plushie-related bandwagon...

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Hmm... This reminds me of my idea for Eli, which involves him eventually developing an aspect of him representing his would-be self. (basically an older Whimsicott version of himself that doesn't let fear prevent him from taking action when needed) Maybe after other Pokemon find out about his would-be self, some might try to talk him into getting himself a plushie to project that aspect of himself onto so it won't look so strange for him to talk to it, which he protests. I can imagine such a scene now:

Goggles: <Ooh! We should get you a plushie! What Pokemon did you say he was?>

Eli: <B-But... H-He's not a plushie! And p-plushies are creepy...>

Sunburst: (overhearing) <Yeah, I would be pretty embarrased if my older brother talked to plushies. What kind of Pokemon would take advice from a plushie, anyways?> (snorts) <That's just weird!>
