Charizard should be Char-izzird as well but the anime sealed the fate of their pronunciation.

English is such a shitty language even native speakers just kinda pull pronunciations out of their asses.

It's a really cool language, but yeah, it gimps its speakers phonologically, syntactically, and etymologically.

Blast + Turquoise

Blastoise is a terrapin, not a tortoise.
