Well I have mis pronounced many Pokemon names and before I get fixated at pronouncing them wrong, I want to say there names the right way.

This is how I pronounce them...

Diaruga= Di-uh-roo-guh
Dialga= Dial-guh (like you dial a phone number)
Parukia= Pair/par-u-key-uh
Palkia= Pal-key-uh

So am I pronouceing them right? Oh and is there a topic that shows how to pronounce all of the Pokemon?

I pronounce them the exact same, except for Dee-al-guh and I thought it was Diarugia.

I pronounce them pretty much the same as everyone above. The Japanese names (Diaruga/Parukia) already have a fixed pronunciation, as that's the way the language works (everything is written exactly as pronounced in Japanese).
Personally, I hate the names Dialga and Palkia, because I don't think they suit the Pokemon and the jewels at all. I'm hoping for something like Diaragua and Perlucia (I know, they're pretty awful themselves :p) or something like that.

You're hoping for what now? the names are the names. Done. No refunds.

Pretty much pronounce the names the same as Ho-oh, though i'm stuck between 'Dee-Al-Guh' and 'Dai-al-ga', thought the second one seems more correct, since Diamand is pronounced 'dai' also...

Parukia and Diaruga = Japanese pronounciations.

Palkia and Dialga = PAHLK-ee-uh and Dee-AHL-guh.

Well, seeing that I know how "Diaruga" and "Parukia" are pronounced, I'll just pronounce their English names to reflect the original.

"Dialga" would be pronounced "dee" as in "deed," "al" as in "malevolent," an "ga" as in "garlic."

"Palkia" would be pronounced "pal" as in "palm" and "kia" as in the car company of the same name.
