I fucking hate this argument. At least with Pokemon, I can go back and know that it's the same names every time I play any of the games. A Pikachu will still be a Pikachu. I don't have to go back and relearn different names for the same pokemon over and over again because they decided that their old names are dead now let's not get into names changing when the pokemon evolves, that's not the point. Also, names are always easier to learn in isolation - I'd say that a closer comparison to learning pronouns and shit would be to learning all the different types and the big fuckin table of type matchups. For new players it's a complicated mess learning what moves are effective against what pokemon, especially when you throw in dual-type matchups. It's similar to how trying to learn what the fuck MFTFM transqueer biracial helicopter actually means and how it applies to gender identity is a spiderweb of nonsense to understand.
Not to mention that in order to learn and remember the pokemon's names you have to carry around a Pokedex, a big digital encyclopedia that automatically identifies any pokemon you come across, even ones that are completely unique and were never documented before. If I had a fucking eldritch tome listing all the current names and appropriate terms for every gender/sex/alignment/star sign and their special snowflake variants and was able to use it to identify anyone's pronouns/spirit animal at a mere glance, then I think I'd have an easier time navigating shitholes like Twitter without stepping on fabricated landmines. That of course assumes that I'm not simply brought to a state of pure madness by the constantly shifting and contradictory knowledge that would be contained within such an accursed book.
I love their horror audios - The Magnus Archives. I'm really disappointed.
