I pronounce it in all three different ways depending on where it comes up in a sentence
For example. If I were to say the word Pokemon, it would be pronounced the 2nd way. If I were to say, "I like to play pokemon," it would come out the first way. However, in the the same position as the last one, if I were to say "Who's your favorite pokemon?" it would come out as the last one. It all depends on the context of which I say it. |

This ^
As a result of my French background, I always say it Poe-kay-mon. That's what the accent does to change to pronunciation of the "e" in French, so I just let my French pronunciation take over... I can tolerate when people say Poe-keh-mon, but I find myself unable to stand when they say Poe-kee-mon... |

So who was the 1 person who put "other"? I'm just curious on how they say it. I say Pokeemon...kind of ignore the accent making it Pokaymon though Although I have been known to say ay or uh instead of ee from time to time, but it's rare.

Pokemon or Pokémon
When saying the word Pokemon, do you pronounce the e as poh-kee-mon or less tense or pok-e-mon.
In case you wondering why I'm doing this it's because I need to write a paper for linguistics so please post. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; December 6, 2013 at 10:40:55 PM. |

Could've sworn we already had a thread for pronunciation...
Pretty sure most if not all Pokémon players pronounce it as pok-e-mon Anyone who doesn't play the game or has never seen it before most likely pronounces it as p o-kee-mon. (like my mom) Then there's the rare instance of saying poh-kay-mon Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; December 6, 2013 at 10:41:01 PM. |

We do. http://victoryroad.net/showthread.php?t=11103 The correct way is to stress the accent, po-kay-mon, but that doesn't roll off the tongue well in conversation. The way that feels most comfortable is Polka-mon or Pok-eh-mon. The incorrect way is to pretend that there is no accent , pok-ee-mon. |

On this note, was anyone bothered by the varies ways it was pronounced in the dub of the Origin series? Especially with Red's voice... Blugh. I haven't seen any new anime stuffs and I couldn't possibly remember from the first season, sooo....

Poe-keh-mon
It is very simple and easy to say. Like someone said previously, Poe-kee-mon is like saying Mar-eeh-oh for Mario. It was just how I said it and my friends who play it say it the same way. It's cool seeing how other people say it, though. |
