"Pokemon" pronunciation

[blackterminator3]

Here are some of my fails at pronoun-cation of their names:
Groudon= Grow-Don
Electribuzz= Elect-Trick-Buzz
Steelix= Steal-Ix
Hitmontop= Hit-Mon-Top
Magmor= Mag-More

 

[DrasticPhase]

The two I can only remember is Chandelure and Regice
Chandelure = Shan-di-lere(I really don't know why..)
Regice = Re-gi-ice(Since Re-gi-rock and Re-gi-steel, I thought it was the same)

 

[Endolise]

Groudon= Grow-Don
Steelix= Steal-Ix
Hitmontop= Hit-Mon-Top

Regice = Re-gi-ice(Since Re-gi-rock and Re-gi-steel, I thought it was the same)

Umm... I'm pretty sure all of these are correct.

 

[Ninjames]

Ponyta - Pow-nee-tah (emphasis on the nee part)
Magikarp - Ma-gih-karp
Gyarados - Jee-ara-doss
Geodude - ???dude (the geo part threw me entirely, I hadn't a clue how to say it)
Lugia - Loo-jee-ah

As you can see I struggled with the pronunciations.

I find this thread interesting! (don't come to these parts often enough)

Well, even mild Dyslexia would throw off even an easier name. I'm comfortable with how I say 'em, and most that roll off my tongue are pretty darn close to the universal fandom.

Except, Gardevoir that is. Most trouble there but then I heard one (a female one?) pronounce itself on the English "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" and I said "Close enough." with shoulders shrugged. I'm aware that you can have Japanese audio & text on SSBB but I just want to get to the violence right away.

Anyway, one should never pronounce the fully mature form of Ralts with a 'Garden' (of Good and Evil) sound in it. And what really helps me even try to say it is thinking of a type of furniture that I can't spell similar to the pokemon. My mom has this furniture. It starts with a 'arm--' something.

 

[Navarch]

I used to pronounce Pidgeot as Pidgey-Ot

 

[Paradoxe]

I used to pronounce Pidgeot as Pidgey-Ot

I still pronounce it this way and will not let anyone change that.

 

[trident20]

Not a pokemon name but instead of pseudo legendaries, i said swoodo legendaries

 

[BlackEmperor]

Groudon - Ground-on
Rayquaza - Ray-quAh-zah
Regice - Re-gice
Kyogre - Ki-ogre (I think it's Kai-ogrey)
Arceus - Ar-seh-us

 

[StanTheStaraptor]

I have always pronounced Kyogre as ky-gore (I assume it's meant to be ky-o-gerr).
Is the "c" in Sceptile pronounced or not? I've always said "Skeptile" instead of "Septile"
And Metagross - is the "gross" pronounced "gr-oss" or "gro-ss"
I don't watch the anime so I'm probably mispronouncing Tepig too. (Is it "teh-pig"?)

 

[munchlaxboy]

I thought Sableye was Sabe-lee-ay. I watched an episode of the Anime and was surprised to learn it was Say-bul-eye.

 

[TheEmeraldKnight]

For me I would say Ky-gore instead of Kyogre and that was becuase I didn't pay that much attention when I first saw its name.

 

[SuperPichu]

Glameow- Glay-meow
Snivy- Snih-vee
Dialga- Die-ill-gah
Raikou- Rai-ku
Reshiram- Reshi-rom
Empoleon- Empo-lee-ihn
Pidove- Pih-dove
Braviary- Brayv-ee-ar-ree

Not a Pokemon but I used to call Unova- Ah-no-vah
I'm pretty sure there's more but that's all I can think of.

 

[YaDunGoofed]

Growlithe - Growlthee (I always read it too fast)
Arceus - Arseeus
Rayquaza - Rayqwaza
Ariados - Adios (xD)
Illumise - Illoohmise (I've pronounced it right after watching the anime)
Braviary - Brivary
Regice - Rege-Ice

 

[briguin]

Kyogre: Kwoy-Gr. Don't know why, I still call it that sometimes.
Groudon: Grew-Don. I saw Jirachi Wish Maker, started saying it right. But I still occasionally call it Grewdon.

Those are the main two. I think there are others, but I can't remember if I'm right or not.

 

[Shade2000]

Hippopotas - Hippo - pot - arse
Kyurem - Ky - ure - rem
Dewott - Dee - Wott
Tepig - Tee - Pig
Charmeleon - Cham - el - eon
Briavry - Bri - vary

For all of you who thought you pronounced regice wrong when you said Regi -ice instead of Reg - ice it IS pronounced Regi - ice

 

[Missingno.Fan]

Right off of the top of my head all I can think of it Chimecho which I thought was Chime-cho. Also I though Kyogre was Kie-Oh-Gree.

 

[Flame Mistress]

I did, and do, and always will, pronounce Kyogre as "KYO-ger", no matter what people say to me, and how much I'm nya-nya'd at.

 

[Dr. Leggs]

Only ones I pronounced wrong were Rayquaza (ray-KWAH-za) and Chimecho (CHIM-eh-cho, which is weird).

 

[~CallOfTheIndie~]

As a little kid, I used to call Starmie "Stonie", 'cause at the time I saw "Bye Bye Butterfree", I was quite young, and tried emulating the way Misty called out her Starmie (that's how it came out from her when I heard it)
And I pronounce Ponyta as pony-Tah, while I hear others say po-Nee-dah
