Why is Pokemon spelled with an accent over the e? I never

In french the acute accent makes a kind of 'eh' sound, so instead of saying poke-mon it's poke-eh-mon

>>27958077
So americans can pronounce it correctly and not Po-kem-on or Poke-mon

WHY IS IT NOT FUCKING POCKEMON?

THAT'S THE REAL ?

UPVOTE THIS SO GAMEFREAK WILL SEE MY POST

>pockemon
pockymon?

Because it's supposed to be pronounced "po-kay-mon", not "po-kee-mon"

>>27958077
"pokemon" is some obscure french novel from a few decades ago so they had to make it something slightly different to get around copyright shit

>>27958136
>pokaymon

No it fucking isn't, Anglos are just complete retards

>>27958077
The é is some kind of french thingy i guess. They made it so you say it Like Poké and not Poke as in Poking something.

>>27958114
>implying Americans know how to pronounce accented letters

>>27958252
This. I'm American and I didn't know how to pronounce accented letters until I started learning Spanish.

>>27958114
>POLKAMON

but the anime makes sure that we know how to pronounce pokemon.

>>27958252
It's a direct visual clue that it's not pronounced "poke-mon," though. That's enough to convince the average person it should be pronounced differently.

>>27958701
You're assuming parents have seen the anime. In all likelihood it's for their sake when their five year old starts asking for a game with gibberish in the title.

Because it's condensed from Pocket Monsters fampai

>>27958135
pocky is pronounce poh-ki FYI

>>27958586
And there's no É in spanish. Thanks for your help.

>>27958154
The original materials have literally pronounced it that way you fuckwit.

It's pronounced with Japanese pronunciation, so disregard "pokemon" and just say "pocket" without the t.

You're supposed to say pokEHmon instead of POKehmon

Ok. I'm French and, as you might know, we are the most intelligent people on Earth. The É is there to help you, stupid muhricans, to pronounce is Po-kay-mon, like in Po-Kay-t Monster. You got it? Or you're just farting, eating chips, driving big cars, voting for Trump. You silly fat-ass redneck loosers.
Have a nice day by the way.

>>27958781
Why don't we say pah-kay-mahn rather than poh-kay-mahn?

>>27958957
There's no ay in Pokemon. It's eh.

>>27958957
If you're French and you pronounce É as ay then you're doing it wrong

>>27959285
The problem is not that i pronounce É as AY, but that I pronounce AY as É...

>>27959604
You're Canadian then, aren't you

>>27958854
What?

¿Qué cojones dices estúpido? Claro que hay "é" en español.

>Americans still pronounce it as POH-KEE-MON

>>27958077
Because Murrikans can't into pronouncing vowels properly and think just about everything is a diphthong, long vowel or randomly silent.

In the rest of the world, the vowels are always pronounced the exact same way, only having a short and a long variant:
A="cUt"/"cAW"
E="hEll"/"mEre"
I="hIt"/"hEAt"
O="nOt" (British accent)/"bOrn"
U="fOOt"/"fOOl"

>>27960173
It's much more prevalent in English than other languages but pretty much no language that uses the latin alphabet is consistently pronunced the way it's spelled.

Which is one of the reasos why syllabic languages like Japanese are so great for non-native learners.

>>27958820
more like poke-key

>>27958856
The kana for Pokemon are "Po-ke-mo-n", not "Po-ke-i-mo-n", idiot.

>Calling the series Pokemon

It's Pocket Monsters. I baka every time I hear an autist call Pocket Monsters "Pokemon"

>>27958735
The average person says pokee though I just want to smack them

>eh and ay are the same sound
Um

>>27959968
Eh? Was it this year or last you started spelling it ayy

Without the accent people would pronounce it
Poke mon. poke like the verb.

>>27958141
Source?
Would be interesting if true

>>27958077
Poke-AYY-Mon
