They can vocalise more than just their names, so if anything, they're Digimon.

now THATS a hot take. "Pokemon are Digimon."

That's not what he said. He said humans are Digimon, not Pokémon. Pokémon are Yugiohs, duh.

I don't think this is true, there's some Pokémon that speak normal language like meowth, lucario, legendaries etc...

Every human can talk because they were taught. Meowth couldn't talk until he taught himself how(to try and impress a girl meowth 😭). Humans don't teach their Pokemon to speak, and most don't have the inclination to teach themselves. So for all we know every Pokemon is capable of human speech if they were taught.

Pikachu speak at the very least has some structure to it. "Pika-Pi" is Ash's name, for instance.

Only those who have beaten the Pokémon league can be digimon. Because in order to be a digimon you must be the champion
