What about Pokemon like Charizard? So it used to be named Charmander. Then you changed it's name to Charmeleon just because it evolved. Then you changed it's name to Charizard because it evolved again. What if it has a Mega Stone? Are you going to call it Mega Charizard X AND Charizard AND Mega Charizard Y, depending on your mood?
I really need to impress upon you all how stupid that is. Imagine if you had a kid. You name it Baby, because it's a baby. Then you rename it Kid when it's a kid. Then Teen when it's a Teen. Then Adult when it's an adult, but also Engineer and Golfer when you feel like it. And is every engineer supposed to be called Engineer? What if I'm in a room full of engineers? How is Engineer supposed to know which Engineer is being called? Imagine how fucking confusing it must be growing up like that.
Calling Pokemon by their current species name makes absolutely no sense when you think about a Pokemon's role in that world.

Ok I lol'd. (Edit: no seriously, I really need to impress upon you how great that was. That second paragraph. It is a masterpiece. Congratulations.)
Still, technically I guess a mega evolved Charizard is still a Charizard.

Also, Pokemon don't speak their own names. That's an anime thing. A stupid anime thing.

Back in the 90's it was. Sadly, now it's pretty much taken over everything and the only thing that's still (almost) intact are the games. I just hope they stay (almost) intact forever. I cringe really hard with Pokémon in Smash, Pokken, the anime and whatever else - I really, really wish I don't have to one day cringe hard when actually playing a Pokémon game.
Edit: oh and by the way, I have 3 cats, one of which is actually named cat. (I'm not proud of it.)

I died a little inside when they changed Pikachu's in game cry to the anime one.
And it's okay, as long as you didn't first name it Kitten.
