how do you pronounce pokemon in japanese?

[clonesld]

does anybody know how you pronounce "pokemon" in japanese?

i always thought pokemon sounded cooler then pocket monsters

[Ichida]

Po'kay-moan, as far as I remember from watchin the JP OPs.

[Captain Arcane]

Yep, just like Ichida said, Po-kay-moan.

[乚☆丁工回己❀]

Po-ke-mon. The e sounds like eh, only shorter and the h is not pronounced. And the n is stretched.

[Ayano Katagiri]

Po'kay-moan, as far as I remember from watchin the JP OPs.

LOL... I don't know why, but that just makes it sound like Pokay moansss...

Umm.. from what I could interpret: Po/kay/mon
Wait.. I have one of those old Pokemon pronounciation guide things *goes to check* My book thing says "Poe-kay-mon". O_o

Sidenote: In Japanese, it isn't always called Pokemon. Pocket Monsters is still used too.... "Poketto Monsutaa"

[Portujesus]

Pu-gee-man. Seriously, you're all wrong.

[Alakazam17]

"Pocket Monsters" is the way to say it. XD

[clonesld]

pocket monsters sounds lame, so im gettin a lot of differen input, but im thinking it is pO-kAy-mO-an? or is it like pO-kAy-mOne

[Ayano Katagiri]

More like the latter one IMO...

But umm, try watching some Japanese episodes on Youtube and see if you can decided on that.

[Alakazam17]

Pokemon episodes, Japanese or not, are as likely to find on YouTube as snow is in the Sahara. XD

[Shiraishi]

[the_bset_spirter_evar]

[Jorah]

I've just watched an episode in Japanese and it sounds like Po-kay-mawn

[nrox653]

I watched a D/P ep in Japanese and it kinda sounds like this:

Poh-keh-mon with the "mon" getting stretched a bit.
