I'd say Pokemon simply because that's how I first heard it, it's all about nostalgia. Not to mention, "Pocket Monster" just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
 
Pokemon, just like everyone else. Its easier to say, and I'm used to it. And when I say "Pokemon" people will always know what I'm talking about.

Meh, saying Pocket Monsters is kinda weird to me... (No offense to anyone who says it.)
 
Aqua Mudkip/Akua Mizugourou: I like calling them by their Japanese names. Like: Pokettomon or Poketto Monsutta. It sounds adorable no? :D

Actually, no, because that isn't Japanese. That's poorly spoken English ground through a thick Japanese accent.

Anyway, I say Pokemanz. Pokemon is stupid, so I treat it as such.

I prefer calling it "Pocket Monsters", and for other people to call it that when speaking. Why? Because it seems to me, people seem to have forgotten that there's a é in the word.

People, and me, typing Pokemon (which I don't add a é in when I type. Irony lol) on the internet is no big deal though - it's much less of a hassle to type then typing Pocket Monsters every time.
 
"Pocket Monsters" just sounds plain weird to me... it doesn't sound good at all. However... with the Japanese accent "Pokketto Monsutaa" is kinda stuck in my head after watching all those "Gurando suponsaa no tenkyou de okurishimashita" parts. XD

So... I prefer Pokemon or Pokketto Monsutaa over Pocket Monsters.

I admit, the same thing's happened to me from time to time.

Except, the pronunciation gets stuck in my head more because of the episode previews rather than the sponsorship credits. :P
 
Pokemon for me. To me, Pocket Monsters doesn't even sound like Pokemon. I really don't know anyone who calls it Pocket Monsters.

Oh, that's happened to me, too! Pokketto Monsutaa sounds really cool.

When I think of Pokemon, I think of cute and cool little animals, when I think of Pocket Monsters, I think big ugly monsters. Funny, the effect a name can have.
 
I hadn't even heard of the term 'Pokketto Monsutaa' until right now and 'Pocket Monsters' sounds strange and too childish compared to 'Pokemon'. XD So obviously I call it 'Pokemon'. ^^
