Pokemon Names You Pronounced Wrong

[Primal Crusader V]

Almolola?

Amoloala

Alolmoalola?!

I give up

 

[Archangel Azazel]

Arceus, Zweilous, Hydreigon, Feraligatr, ...

 

[3D992]

Its ray-qua-za^

 

[Squiddly Dee]

I used to pronounce Xatu as Ex-ah-tu and Arceus as Ar-see-us.

 

[Endolise]

I've mispronounced a few before, like Braviary (I pronounced it BREE-a-varry), usually because I misplace a letter when pronouncing it.

I'm still not sure whether Rayquaza should is officially pronounced "ray-QWAH-zuh" or "ray-QUAY-zuh". I've always used the former, although I've heard it said both ways. Also, Kyurem is a little confusing for me; I tend to alternate between "KEE-oo-rem" and "KAI-oo-rem."

As for Arceus, I used to say "ar-SEE-us," but now I've grown accustomed to "ar-KEE-us."

EDIT: Oh yeah, it took me forever to figure "Alomomola" out. >.<
Alos, I've always pronounced "Sceptile" similarly to "susceptible," as in "SUSS-sep-tile"

 

[TeamRocketGrunt]

Oh yeah more I remember
Entei
Milotic(didnt know it was wrong till reading posts :O)

 

[Angeltripper]

I used to pronounce Xatu as Ex-ah-tu and Arceus as Ar-see-us.

actually, both ways of saying arceus is technically right, and only ar-kay-us is wrong


@ everyone else, just remember alomomola is just a palendrone and is pronounced al-o-mo-mo-la

 

[Sietse23]

Kyorge - Ki-or-g
Giratina - Gra-ti-na
Suicune - Swi-cun
Hippowdon - Hip-po-don
Rhyperior - Rhy-pi-ri-or

And much other things.

I called Dialga 'Dial-gah'.
Giratina was 'Ger-uh-tie-nuh'.
xD I don't recall mispronouncing any other pokemon names, though.

 

[orangezilla]

im fine with alomomola but yh i used to say ar-see-us kinda still do,
ive also been calling el-ee-sa, el-e-sa all this time

i used to call zorua, zoura
oh and i still think it should be e-mol-ga rather than EE-mol-ga

 

[Temporal Lizardo]

Palkia: pal-EE-ka, pal-pack-ee-ah (yes. Palika and Palpackia.)
I rarely watch the TV show/movies, so the way I mentally pronounce the names of Pokemon can be very weird.

 

[Angeltripper]

I called Dialga 'Dial-gah'.

isnt that how you pronounce dialga? I used to pronounce it Die-ag-la

 

[Larry]

I used to pronounce Rattata as Rat-a when I first started playing Pokemon.

 

[Gelatino95]

I used to pronounce Arceus as Ar-see-us.

That's how House pronounces it, therefore it is correct.

I used to pronounce Rattata as Rat-a when I first started playing Pokemon.

I put in an extra syllable. Rattatata.

 

[Crimson_Blazer]

Sceptile I thought was pronounced different, and rayqauza, didnt really have trouble with anything else.

 

[uberheracross]

Cofagrigus, always thought it was Cofagrius, guess it was just the fact im too lazy to read pokemon names :/ also Volcarona, I thought was Volcarano

 

[Nessea]

phione i would pronounce pi-oh-nay or something.
rashiram i pronounced rash-er-rom.
groudon groo-don
and some more i cant remember.

 

[cantab]

I stand by:

Kyo-gray, two syllables, not rhyming with "ogre".
Kyew-rem, likewise two syllables.
Aw-dee-no. It's like audio, only with an n inserted and the i lengthened.
Sep-tile, the c is silent.
Scyther: the c is silent, and the th is as in "thing", not as in "father".
Garra-dose.
Croo-co-dial, a long oo like in "choo", as opposed to a short o like in the etymological "crook".
Why not? (Ie not rhyming with "astronaut".)

I vary on:

The stress in Giratina, should it be on the second or third syllable?

I used to use, but have corrected:

Ray-kwah-za. Once I figured its name is partly derived from astronomical quasars, I changed to ray-kway-za.

 

[Ereshk]

I probably pronounce wrong lots of the pokémon names (especially gen IV/V), because I tend to adapt the names to my language, which annoys my anime-loving friend. (names are pronounced correctly in the anime)

 

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

I used to say: Jy-air-a-dos for gyarados.
