Does anybody call Pal's by there actual names?

[breadslipz]

Unlike Pokemon, Pal's names are hard to remember, so I just call them by the species the represent. Not sure why you wouldn't do the same, because who actually takes the time to learn every individual creatures' name?

[WonderSparks]

If you can remember the 1000+ Pokemon names, memorizing the <150 Pal names should be a piece of cake

[Venox]

Actual names. They are not hard to remember at all.

[Chrispy]

I call them whatever my initial thought of them are. Anubis is discount lucario, Jormuntide is just gyarados, Jolthog is sanic, etc

[TheReal4982]

I call all but one by their name, dinossom I always call dragon, not sure why but it's the name that stuck.

[Paul Ryevere]

I use their given names, for the most part.
I didn't take any time to learn the names. I never sat down with a list and memorized them by rote like a school assignment.
I just took time to play the game. The learning the names happened passively.

[Smartass McGee]

The only one I have issues with is Direhowl honestly, I keep calling it Direwolf and I cant curb the habit

[Zero]

I call most of them their actual names. The only one I regularly call the incorrect name is "Alolan Ninetails/Threetails" (Foxcicle) and OCCASIONALLY Grass Cinderace (Verdash).

I give the ones I use often names those who go to the condenser have no designation. My fav so far is my Gorirat Kong and my Beakon Burd. I have a Beegarde Beeatrice... Toco named Dkburd... you know the cheesiest names possible so I can remember them. I even have some really generic names like Paul and Steve or Betty. Just depends on the day.

Don't find hard to remember, i use the actual names

[iLovePie_42]

Nah, I named my Pacifist Vanwyrm as Volkswagen T-Roc and I call him T-Roc all the time. I also named my Jetragon some Mercedes model, and call it Merc.

I agree, their original names are hard to remember.

Seriously? Most of them are just portmanteaus of what that monster is based on (e.g. Chillet is "chill" + "ferret", Depresso is "depression" + "espresso", Helzephyr is "Hell" + "zephyr" etc), it's even more on-the-nose than Pokémon that frequently mixes in other languages ("pika" + "chu", legendary bird trio, etc)

[Toastie Buns]

I still call it digi-toise even though I know it isn't called that

[Tetsuri]

isn't it harder to try to figure out wdf a Grizzbolt represents than just calling it a Grizzbolt?

one of the more memorable pals, just because everyone spends hours in that scorching desert searching one
