Well, it's not all that different from general differences in species and animals. You have animals that can fly, swim, walk on land, and pokemon aren't really that different and are just sorted into "types." Yuiko here is a pure ghost type, but there's grass, fire, water, rock, ground, flying, electric, dragon, normal, and way more.
So I don't know if you've ever seen a turtle, but Squirtle is a water pokemon and basically is just a turtle able to walk on two legs instead of four.
Or if you've seen a caterpillar, there's a pokemon called caterpie which is literally a giant green caterpillar and goes through the metamorphosis to become Butterfree instead of a butterfly. The difference is, instead of only being a few inches big, Butterfree is at least three feet tall with a wing-span to match.
I'm afraid there are some animal species on Earth that still baffle me. Though that's never been a real problem since I can communicate with them just fine.
That is super cool. [And easily more impressive than just CHOKING PEOPLE FROM A DISTANCE MAUL, SAVAGE AND ANAKIN!]
I can communicate with Yuiko and I tend to get along with most animals. [Because he is quiet and still. He would make an excellent nature photographer, honestly, alone in the wilderness for days and weeks with only animals as company.]
Er... [Well... no. He was proud of nothing he could or couldn't do, honestly. It was just... something he did.] Not... really. I never thought to think of it as something other than just what I'm able to do. [What is self-esteem?]
[It's not that he doesn't know how to be proud of himself and his accomplishments, it's more... he doesn't see the point. They mean nothing, in the end.]

Yuiko-chan! [Ritsuka calls offscreen and then suddenly he appears to have a hat before a face peeks out and the Mismagius blinks big eyes at Obi-Wan.]
She's a ghost-type pokemon. She's... well, technically she's a spirit. She's technically... dead?
But a pokemon are animals from another world? There all different sort.

[ it floats too. how odd. ]
What do you mean by "different sort"?

That is a rare gift. You must be very proud of it.

Maybe once in a while, you can keep it in mind.

I can try.
[He blushes and clears his throat.]
I should let you go.
