I haven't heard anyone in real life saying pokémon in years.

I hear it all the time.

Is it pokey mon or pokay mon

Here's a tongue twister. There's like 5 different ways to pronounce Gyarados, how do you do it?

Do you really make the Y stand out, Gya or just forget about it and go Gar or even with a soft G so Jar?

Do you end it with "dose" or dos, like the spanish two?

My friends and I just call it "Pokey-man" intentionally now.

No idea why. We don't even think about it at this point.

>>25036346
I say it wrong all the time, i dont care. Its always been pokey-mon for me

>>25036368
GAI-ra-dos

>>25036368
Gara-dose, always

>>25036314
Its whole body is an arch, not an arse.
Its ar-kee-us

I haven't heard it mispronounced since 2000

Now I have heard names of Pokemon being mispronounced even now

>>25036303
Watching law and order

>>25036372
Don't worry, my mates and I call them "Poker-Men".

>>25036303
Anytime an american pronounces it.
>pokeymon
There's an ´ in there for a reason.

Everytime I hear an amerifat pronouncing it.
It makes me cringe HARD every time.
Pokiman, pokyman, pokeyman, GOD DAMN stupid fucks learn how to pronounce words! After all, only in a country of stupid fucks could exist a competition of spelling, in my country it wouldn't make sense since there would be 100 winners out of 100 partecipants.

>>25036609
>brags about spelling prowess
>spells "participants" wrong

Nice work, you fool.

>>25036609
Here's your response. Enjoy it.

>using a typo to prove your point
Well done, you surely showed him

>>25036609
shitty post aside, I always wonder why Americans, or English speakers for that matter, always try to force a long vowel sound.

>that guy who says POE KEY MANS

>>25036638
Ow, I'm hurt.

>>25036642
Can americans even pronounce ⟨a⟩?

>>25036638
To be fair, I didn't point out the typo. I just know bait when I see it.

>>25036642
The e with the mark is not easy to type out, and can be missed to the unobservant, so you see Pokemon, and don't know enough to know that it's implied.

Now, it's common knowledge that you don't pronounce it Poke-Mon, and because we know it's from a different language, pronouncing it phonetically according to english, Po-keh-mon, seems silly at first glance. So we default to what we think of, and due to protrayal of the japanese language in media, the obvious answer seems to be to pronounce a long e.

It always has been gear-uh-dose

>>25036303
Every year during the Macys parade.

>>25036407
Are you suggesting god can't have an ass?

>>25036715
Do not sexualize the demiurge.

Pok-uh-mon
Pok-ay-mon
Pok-ee-mon

The fuck even is it, I pronounce it all ways arbitrarily because I don't even know which is right.

>>25036697
Even ignoring the "ké" part, why do so many people pronounce "po" as "pou"?

>>25036715
Not valid, i'm sure most pokemon have an ass. That doesn't meen they are all named after it

Po - que - mon

>>25037450
Por que, man?

>>25036737
You'll have to be clearer. I don't think I've ever heard the Po- part be pronounced wrong. I exlained Ke and Mon is mispronounced as a dad joke.

>>25038185
I've seen many people saying what sounded more like "Paul-ke-mon" than the short "Po" used by japs when saying Pokemon.

>>25036407
no, it's meant to be "arse-ee-us." Look at the jap name. The only reason they changed it in the west is because of they were scared the "arse" part would offend brits.

>>25038399
That one is new to me. I've never heard that one. But I could possibly related to the Ke phenomenon i mentioned earlier. If you try sounding out one syllable at a time, "Po" does appear like it could sound like "Paw"

>>25036368
Gyar-a-dos. It's spelled Gyaradosu in Japanese after all, not Geeradoosu.

>>25036368
I had a friend that pronounced it like "Gar-ariados". Not making this up.

Thankfully I never heard it pronounced wrong in french. We've got the é sound, heck we're probably one of a hanful languages with that sound for that specific accent.
"Mon" wouldn't be said the same way, though, but everyone except maybe old people who lived in the sewers for 20 years know you pronounce the n at the end.

>>25036368
Gair-a-dose, like a G in front of air

>>25036368
it's gaa ree douse
