Why did ash never name any of his pokemon? it's like getting a horse and naming it 'horse'. My initial guess would be that he's autistic or something

not many people in the anime do

There was that one weird guy who was like a copy of Ash who named all his Pokemon and had a Pikachu named Sparky or something, right?

To make it easier for kids to remember the names of Pokémon.

My guess is they want kids to remember the pokémon's name so they can recognize them easily when buying merchandise? It's the only reason I can think of.

You must be really stupid to not have realized the reason by yourself yet.

Except that it's been shown that's the social norm and nicknaming is what's unusual. It's also like how you'd approach someone else's pet with "Hey kitty/puppy/birdy/etc." unless you were told the name of the pet.

No main character in the anime nicknames their Pokemon, except for Lillie and her Alolan Vulpix (Snowy), which was confirmed by one of the staff to only have been given that nickname to distinguish it from the Kanto Vulpix that Samson Oak has

In any other case, they avoid nicknames so kids don't confuse them with the species name
