How do YOU pronounce "Pokemon"?

[Kayashi]

lol, just curious... how do YOU pronounce pokemon.

I've heard people pronounce it different ways.

I pronounce it Poke - uh - mon

EDIT: yea thats rite i call this forum Poe-kuh-kuh-mune-it-ee

[EmeraldSky]

I say it like "Poh-Kay-Mahn"

[Kayashi]

I think that's the correct way to pronounce it, I just don't. lol

[celestial_okami]

Poh-kay-mawn.

Your poll choices are a little off, I doubt anyone pronounces pokemon as 'Pokekaymon' (duplicated K).

[Shiny Umbreon]

The correct way is like "Poe-keh-mon". It's 'keh', not 'kay'. I do that as I talk Spanish.

[Disintegration]

I don't pronounce it the correct way. It makes me sound like a weeaboo. I just think it sounds better to pronounce the "é" as "ee."

[Xanthine]

Although it's probably phonetically pronounced with an "eh" in the middle, I just go ahead and use "Po-kuh-mon" (or, well, the third option in the poll). I blame this thoroughly on the fact that Ash pronounced it like this often in the first season, if I recall correctly. Or he did in the episodes I watched over and over again.

[PokemonRox]

I say it like this poke-ee-mon

[Shika]

po-key-mawn

That's how i pronounce it.
But i enjoy saying Pocket Monsters xP

[Eos Aduro]

I say Poe-Kuh-Mon, but I caled the forums Po-Kay-Community. I know, Im weird

[Myoko-chan]

I pronounce it like "poke-ee-mon". To me, it doesn't really matter anyway

[Jorah]

I say Poe-Kuh-Mon. I sound stupid if I say Poe-Kay-Mon and its waay too much effort to say

[-Jinx-]

Poke - ee - mon
Not that it really matters. Same thing in the end.

[Ichigo Flash]

Poke-uh-mon

Then again every british Pokemon fanatic I've met always says it like that too so, maybe all us brits fall under that one :)

[Te-em]

I pronounce it as they do in the anime. I've always pronounced it that way, even before I watched it.

It's poke from pocket and mon from monsters.

[Gibbo]

The correct way is like "Poe-keh-mon". It's 'keh', not 'kay'. I do that as I talk Spanish.
I say it like this too, probably for the same reasons. Think the baby alphabet. :p
And I find the "Poke-ee-mon" pronunciation the most obnoxious thing ever.

[Faceless*]

Poke-Mon

Poke and a Mon =\ Ha

[Blödh Arget]

I pronounce it with a long E (Pok- EE- Mon) unless I am talking fast or in a rush, then I pronounce it Pok- Uh- Mon.

[Chibi-chan]

I say Poke-uh-mon. It's just easier to say and there's not as many stressed vowels. You can just slide it off the tongue. It's how they say it in the anime too, right?

[─AdvancedK9─]

In Spanish i pronounce it Poh-keh mon. in inglish it's pou-keh-mon

Just my ways.

[RacerKing]

Poke-ee-mon or pokemon-key-mon

[Erimgard]

I've pretty much always pronounced it like "poke ee mon"

[Blayze]

I've been known to use all three of the listed pronuciations. Mainly because I'm a dork, but I use "Poke - uh - mon " most of the time.

[Rashoumon]

Pok-ay-mon if I feel like pronouncing it out.
Poke-uh-mon if I talk fast.

[chews]

To me its Poke-uh-mon,been pronouncing this since Pokemon started,so i guess i'am used to it.

[Rukiya]

I pretty much pronounce it, Poke-uh-mon.

[Virtual Headache]

Well, I pronounce how they pronounce it in the German version of the anime, not sure how to describe it, but Poke - kay - mon fits best.

[Willbey]

Poke-uh-mon most of the time, but sometimes Poke-ee-mon.

[Jiranis]

Poe-kee-mon
but when im talking about the anime or cards i say Poe-key-man as a symbol that i hate evreything but the games.

[Crystal Clair]

Shinji: I usually pronouce it "poh keh mon", both when I speak English and Japanese.
Crystal Clair pronounces it like me sometimes, "pokay mon" sometimes and pok uh mon with the uh almost silent so it sounds like an eh in a way.
We both pronounce the PokeCommunity as Pokay community though, for some reason
and when Crystal Clair is in a silly mood -_- she pronounces it pokee man

[Mudkipblader]

I pronounce it "Po" (without the /w/-sound), "Ké" (Like the French words that have an /é/ in it (écrire, allé, that way)) and "mon", just "mon"

[Superiore]

I put other but I dont pronounce it other, I pronounce it like all of them options mostly pok-ee-mon though.

[Brock_Lee]

I say Poky-ee-man. Ha just kidding really Poke-ku-mon

[Neko Hina]

i say poh-kay-mon. gunn yoshiaki, im a weeaboo and proud ^^

[Lightning]

I pronounce it "Po" (without the /w/-sound), "Ké" (Like the French words that have an /é/ in it (écrire, allé, that way)) and "mon", just "mon"
Quoted because this is exactly how I pronounce it, French explanation included. :D

[Minku.]

Really depends.

Usually Poke - uh -mon. When I'm being stupid I say "Poke-kee-manz". And "Poke-kay-mon" when I feel weird.

[agent destroyer]

I say it like "poh-Kay-Mahn"

i've got a handbook and it says:
POH-kay-mahn

[~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~]

I've always pronounce it Poh-kay-mon but I know there are 3 ways to say it


:t354:TG

[Gooberdued]

I'm pretty sure I'd say poke - uh -mon, it's easier for me to say. Poke - kay - mon just seems unnatural. I might pronounce it poke - ee -mon sometimes though.

[- Sigma -]

I think the right way is "Po - kay - mon", and I think it is an insult when someone says "po - kee - man". But usually when people say that it's because they don't even know what it is. No offence to people here.

[cove_2007]

poh-kay-mohn i think thats how its pronoced

[Oni Link]

I say "Poke-uh-mon", even though I know it's meant to be "Poke-ay-mon.".

[Drai]

I voted other, the uh option was the closest, but I say it more like ih, like the i sound in ick. So poe-kih-mon I guess would be the way I do it.

[♥~*Abby*~♥]

I once heard the correct way is "Poke-kay-mon"

whatever. I either pronounce it "Poke-uh-mon" or "Poke-ee-mon".

[Adelaide-Amber]

i also say pok-uh-mon, just cuz it seems more natural and it flows. and i totally agree with - Sigma -, it is an insult where i live to say poh-kee-MAN... (added emphasis on the "man"). but obviously if your a pokemon fan i wouldn't be offended :)

[Dragonzilla]

i've always pronounced it pok ee mon it sounds weird when its pok ah mon cauz when ash says it it sounds like poka mom lol

[cove_2007]

i agree with hero wolf its proboly poh-kee-mon

[Yusaku]

I pronounce it Poke-uh-mon. I just got used to it apparently, after saying it for so many years.

[Karonte]

I pronounce it Poke - ee - mon .

I once heard someone say it Poke- oo -mon

[cove_2007]

you might pronouce it like poh-kee-mon-voteforyourfavfruitathttp://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=117220

[RR.]

Poke-eh-mon. I do seem to take the accented e literally! XD

[Rhiannon-Chan]

I just happily say Poke-ee-mon
I dont care if that is the wrong pronunciation, that is how I always have and always will prononce it Poke-ee-mon

[LeeJ124]

I pronounce it poke-uh-mon. Quick and easy.

[Bishopk]

I was walking through Wal-Mart one day and heard a lady say, "Do you want any more pokeymans cards?" I wanted to rip her throat out. I didn't.

Pokémon, with the accent and all. eh.

[Lycoris]

I actually will say it any way...do you wants to play with meh "poke - ah - mans"?

[~|symphony♪]

I pronounce it 'pok-ee-mon' even though I know the 'è' is supposed to sound like 'eh'. So it should be correctly pronounced 'Pok-eh-mon'
