Favorite Pokemon Mispronunciation

[Trainmaster718]

Over the years, in the anime, video games, commercials, and various other medias, Pokemon names and locations have been terribly mispronounced - most of then turning out to be quite funny!

So what is your favorite Pokemon Mispronunciation?​

... xD

How about "Eek-ins" in Stadium 2? O_O

I've mispronounced a lot of names too. >_< Like Illumise, Kyogre... Hell, for the longest time, I thought Groudon was called Groundon...

 

[coolespeon]

I remember that in some episodes from the johto saga, misdreavus was "misdreavis" or something that way.

 

[Trainmaster718]

Hell, for the longest time, I thought Groudon was called Groundon...

Oh my god, I did the same thing! But I've given up on trying to call it Groudon...that's just stupid!

What now your telling my Ki-O-Gore is now Kee-o-gre?!?!?!

 

[Shadow Gamer]

I used to always call Kyogre "Ky-ro-gree".

 

[Noheart]

I've always pronounced Rayquaza Ray-Kway-Za instead of Ray-Kwa-Za.

 

[Zonn13]

~Goes through long list~

Sceptile as "Skeptile"

Larvitar as "Lar-vay-tar"

Gallade as "Jal-lodd" (Don't ask XD)

Froslass as "Fore-lass"

Probopass as "Prom-bi-pass" (Again, don't ask XD)

Electivire as "Elec-ter-vire"

Weavile as "Wee-vill"

Combusken as "Com-bats-ken"

Ho-oh as "Ho-ho"

I had a problem. XDD

 

[Bobblefighter]

Wait a sec. It's Ky-Ogre? Wow, I feel stupid. I've been calling it Ky-Rouge. I don't know why a added an 'R'.

 

[Yonowaru in Chaos]

I think it's acceptable to say "Kai-oh-guh', since it's the most similar pronunciation to the Japanese name, which is roughly "Kai-orca", but I don't think there are 'official' pronunciations or anything, so it doesn't really matter.

Then again, I got a laugh out of 'Kee-oh-guh-ree' from one of the Pokeraps.

 

[Sapphiredragon929]

Girafarig [Jir-raff-ar-rig] as [Gir-rauff-air-r{eye}g]

 

[Cuttle]

Ho-oh as "Ho-ho

i lol'd cause i did the same thing

 

[Venomothim]

I pronounced Milotic as Mil-aw-tic

Also when I was a kid I pronounced Farfetch'd as Ferretch D (and yes I actually said the letter "D")

 

[poke freak 997]

I always used to pronounce Aerodactyl as Air-oh-dak-til

 

[octoboy]

Tee hee hee, there are some mispronounciations I like so much that I still use them. I call gengar and clefable "JEN-Jar" and "CLEF-uh-bull"

I remember my cousin calling sableye "SAH-Bli" and swablu "SWAH-Lee-Bloo". The latter was really funny.

And don't forget elekid. The English anime pronounced it two different ways. The funniest part is that 4kids' pronounciation actually makes more sense than Pokemon USA's.

 

[Mawile412]

what about for Machop? I always pronounced it Mah-chop. the mah sounding like macho.
But my friend and i think Pokemon battle revolution called in muh-chop.

i hope they never mis pronounce Mawile. it's a very straight forward name. Maw-Wile

 

[Yami_Wheeler]

Oh my god, I did the same thing! But I've given up on trying to call it Groudon...that's just stupid!

What now your telling my Ki-O-Gore is now Kee-o-gre?!?!?!

Actually more of... "Kai-oh-grey." But I'm pretty sure it's "Kai-oh-ger." Like the mythical beast, ogre... That's also closest to orca.

And yeah... xD I still occasionally slip up and call it Groundon.

 

[Sonikku]

Mawile, one of my favorite pokemon, yet only two weeks back I was pronouncing it in my head as ''May-While''.

Don't ask, sometimes the first time looking and pronouncing a name, I really don't give it a second thought and leave it as that, even when I know it might be wrong. :]

 

[BynineB]

I pronounce Milotic "Mit-O-Lock".

I dunno why.

 

[pokedexfiller]

its weird how in the lucario movie it was bons-lee now in the anime its bons-lie

 

[Mawile412]

Sonikku, i did the same thing once! i was thinkin about mawile then May-while popped into my head. and yay Mawile fan !!
