This has been nagging at me for a while. Is there any confirmed way to pronounce them? How in gods name do you even say Nihilego?
>>33303028
like nihilism and ego
>>33303028
It's a combination of nihilism and ego.
Probably really close to "nee-hee-lee-go" but you could just get away with "nee-lee-go"..
>>33303028
I say
nihil as in nihilism
ego as in ego
>>33303028
"Nihil" like "nihilism", "ego" is pronounced normally.
A bit of a slur is fine, like nee-hee-lee-go.
nih-hih-lee-goh
buzz-wohl
feh-roh-moh-sah
xur-ih-tree
ceh-leh-stee-lah
kahrt-ah-nah
guzz-lohrd
>>33303044
>Nihilism
>Nee-hee
You dont know how to pronounce nihilism
>>33303061
Are you gonna tell me it's
nih-hih-liz-m or nee-hil-iz-m?
Because I'll accept the latter, but it comes out sounding almost exactly the same as the way I put it, because the second syllable isn't even emphasized.
The video here at the 2:16 mark sounds like it says Nile-ego or it could be saying Nile-lee-go just really fast.

Should be pronounced "Nee-hil-e-go" but knowing The Pokemon Company fucker is probably called "Ni-yul-lee-go"
The others are:
- Buzz-wole
- Fer-ro-mo-sa
- Xurki-tree
- Kar-ta-na
- Ce-le-steel-la (cele is pronounced like celestial)
- Guzz-lord
>>33303055
>xur-ih-tree
Huh, I pronounced it similar to "circuitry" myself, seeing how that's probably the basis for its name.
>>33303077
Don't trust pronunciations given out by fans. They sometimes contradict The Pokemon Company International pronunciations.
>>33303084
It's closer to "zur-kih-tree" probably.
>>33303028
It''s pronounced like the latin, 'nihil' (nothing) and 'ego' (me).
>>33303074
>>33303061
nigh-uhl
>>33303094
It's pronounced like this also, based on circuit + tree because it's a circuit of christmas tree lights and also a play on the word circuitry
knee-hill-lee-go
>>33303028
If you're worried about Japanese phoneticisms, don't. UB01 in Japan is Utsuroid
>>33303125
Is that the British form of it? I've never heard it pronounced that way before.
>>33303028
i go by:
>Nee-he-leh-goh
>Buzz-wole (i mean, c'mon)
>Feh-roh-moh-sah
>Xur-keeh (almost as keen, but without the n) - tree althout circuitry could work as well (just try to make the ci sound like xu)
>Ceh-leh-steel-ah
>Kart-ah-nah
>Guzz-lohrd
>>33303028
Nihilego reminds me of myself - intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.
>>33303200
Then whoever you heard say it is retarded
>>33303294
Literally every pronunciation guide I've looked at pronounces it the way I've been saying.
>>33303200
I dunno dude it's just how I've always heard it in person and on television
like denial without the de and an -ism at the end
>>33303663
Well, I can't blame your life experience for the way you say things. You do you, I'll do me!
>>33303125
niggalism
>all these people who haven't seen The Big Lebowski
You should all be ashamed
It's Neye-ill-ee-go.
Fuck, I've been pronouncing it
Nee-hee-leh-go
It's probably

>>33303044
Nope. First syllable should be pronounced "nye" and the second "hil," like in the base word you gave, when combined sound more like "nye-uhl" or even "Nile" I suppose.
>>33303055
Pretty much these, except I slur the syllables in Buzzwole to make it sound more like "buz-swole."
I also pronounce Xurkitree differently, since there's a 'k' in it. Like >>33303094.
Otherwise, these.
>>33303226
I always saw it pronounced
>Buzz-swole
>>33303226
Pretty much this, but Che-leh-steelah
>>33305498
well yeah, it's just circuitry but with edge
Xurkitree = Zur kih tree
Circuitry = Sir kih tree
Nigga-leggo
>>33305553
Obviously, but the anon I quoted wrote that they pronounced it "xur-ih-tree."
>>33305546
>Celesteela
>Basically celestial + steel
>Che-leh-steelah
>Che
What?
>>33303055
This.
