After considering everything you've written, Felix, I'm now leaning towards po'qeymonpu'. If Meowth can learn a human language, Pokémon are clearly capable of speech. I had never seen the manga with the Kangaskhan-speaking boy before -- interesting! I suppose anthropomorphic characters who speak in a human language (or "Common") should be -pu'. The Bear family in the Berenstain Bears, for instance, would most likely be tera' mIl'oDpu', not tera' mIl'odmey.
I would argue that Pokémon are beings capable of communication via language, but I don't know that they are necessarily >regarded in that way by humans (or Klingons).> After all, we've seen in episodes like Island of the Giant Pokémon that Pokémon are capable of carrying out entire >conversations, and we've also seen Team Rocket asking Meowth to translate what Pokémon are saying into human speech.

Furthermore, Pokémon can understand complex utterances in human speech, and respond to it with body language.
In the anime episode The Kangaskhan Kid, we see a boy who has been raised by Kangaskhan, and appears to speak their >language. However, I'm not certain if it's clear if this is language use or just mimicry. Apparently, in the manga, it is clear that he speaks Pokémon language.
