    • *dies* They're the same. o.O The syllable -fi is pronounced the same as -phy. Either spelling is okay with me, though if I had my way, it would be Manafee, like manatee. ^^ I like manatees.

    I say it as mahn-uh-fee. ^-^

    • Like somebody already said, the direct translation is Manafi, but they "American-ized" it and changed it to Manaphy.

    If they translate the name directly, it will probably be "Manaphy" in English. However, I prefer spelling it "Manafi". I just think it looks better that way.

    • I would use Manaphy for the sake of spelling. XD Since I would normally pronounce them the same either way, Manaphy just looks more formal (for the lack of a better word O.<). X3
