Well, I've been thinking about Mone only being able to say "Mone"... then it came to my mind that Pokemon can also say nothing but their name, so...
Could it possibly be that Mone is an as-of-yet unknown race of pokemon?

Or could it be that Ash mated with one (or more) of the Pokemon, which resulted in such a result?

Why bother posting nonsense?

You missed the option "WTF is Mone???".

Mone-chan is a character from Yumeria who can only say "Mone".

This thread is still useless.

Lina Inverse · 2004-04-24, 23:08

Then, I take it, you have a better explanation why Mone can only say "Mone"?

Obviously to make Mone more moe.

This thread is pointless though...

mantidor · 2004-04-24, 23:21

Im not an expert on chobits, but I think the main character only says "chi", is she Chi-mon then

?

I can't recall any other characters, but the little things that only says on word is not a pokemon-exclusive, I've seen many who act like that...

Kyuven · 2004-04-24, 23:21

mone has a speech impediment
a lot of the yumeria characters have speech differentuations (Neneko ends everythng with -da, Kuyou talks about herself in the third person a lot...)

No, that's not correct. Only in the very beginning, she only says Chi (because her memory has been erased), but then she quickly learns to speak normally.

Not so with Mone. She didn't have an accident or something that could have reduced her speech abilities, and she doesn't learn how to speak normally either.
This doesn't make her look any moe at all, it rather makes her look somewhat retarded

Not implying that she is retarded or something, mind you, but someone could get that impression...

Also, adding a word or syllable at every sentence, or speaking of one self in the third person clearly isn't a speech impediment

mantidor · 2004-04-25, 01:15

Sorry, but as i stated, Im not an expert on chobits, but Im absolutly sure that the one word vocabulary in some chars is not rare in anime and manga, I just can't recall any...

boneyjellyfish · 2004-04-25, 02:00

I don't know what you're talking about. There are several pokemon that have the ability to speak. That means that all pokemon have the potential to speak more than their own name. Since Mone does not have that potential, she is not a pokemon.

JOJOS'STAR · 2004-04-25, 02:19

LOL thats completly ridiculous. I don't know shit about "Pokemon" but I doubt she ment by that, Mone was one of those. Well I hope.

anyway.. I just forgot why I posted here..

3 words: BECAUSE IT'S CUTE!!!!

Spiggy · 2004-04-25, 22:28

I have no idea where this falls under. Hmm...I can see Ash mating with a pokemon b/c one night when he was drunk he heard "poke her man" when someone was talking about pokemon. It was a one-night stand. The pokemon wouldn't return his calls or his letters. any ways...yea, it's just to be cute, kind of annoying at times. Maybe she was just trying to say "money" b/c she's broke or "horny" b/c well...

Only meowth from team rocket can speak, he learned it to get a girl meowth to be interested in him, didn't work though...

isn't that... four words???

actually, is really three words? in english you count the "It's" as one word only??

Back on topic:

The one world speech is used for cutness IMO. Doesn't mokona from Magic Knight Rayearth speaks only one word??? ( I think she speak none...I can't remember).

Poor Ash... after he couldn't get a real girl, he couldn't even satisfy a Pokemon and was dumped by it

I just wonder which Pokemon it was? Psyduck? No wonder he has this headaches all the time

I'd say that the latter is much more probably... after all, she appeared right next to him in his bed, and if he wouldn't have been so shocked and jumped right out of the bed, who knows what she would have done next

Indeed - I wouldn't know any other Pokemon that can speak. I don't think any of them would have the ability to do so, even if it wanted to.

I'd say "it's" is two words: it is. So that makes four.

iirc, the only thing Mokona could say was "Pu", and this clearly doesn't qualify as speech, not even as Pokemon-speech.

Kyuven · 2004-04-26, 00:30

"It's" is a conjunction, on college papers they count it as one word (lousy college essays...)

Lina Inverse · 2004-04-26, 22:04

Hardly

A conjunction would be "and", "or" etc.
"it's" is contracted from the personal pronoun "it" and the verb "is". Back in my school, the use of such contractions was frowned upon (since it was no proper English, they said) and was thus marked as an error.
