Yeah I was surprised with how many inexperienced pokemon were joining, including my own XD 

I've never played with a mute character and am rather weary as Kiddo seems to have strong feelings against it, however, it sounds like you have heavy developement in mind already and you're right, it does depend on the player. I could see a nice bit of comedy coming from someone who could play a mute without creating awkward, one-sided issues. Would he be able to communicate through telepathy as Meowstic at some point? I'm thinking no, but just curious. 

Iunno XD I'd hate there to be conflict between the players but I don't want to judge before I see how the player handles such a character. Would there be anything that would ease your mind with a mute character, Kiddo?
