Favorite, "How do you say ____"

[The Girl Once named Tracie]

let's face it, pokemon have interesting names. We've all had a blunder, but I am asking what you're favorite/least favorite one is.

Personally, it cracks me up every time I hear my little sister say 'Lulglia' "Kaogrie" and "Dakray"

 

[Paxy]

I usually have no trouble pronouncing the names. The only game I've ever had trouble with is Kingdom Hearts 2 (DAH! HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE SAIX!?!? -_-')

 

[ChrisTom]

I'm able to pronounce the names pretty well, but my friends a few years back used to drive me insane when they mispronounced Gyarados. They all said Gyarados like "Guy-raa-dos" with extra umph on the "ra" part. I tried to tell them it was like "Gare-a-dos" but they still mispronounced it.

Yeah, it happens with those complicated names. I do have a question on one though...

Do you pronounce it "Cress-a-leea" or "Cress-celia"? I still can't quite figure that on out but I go with the first most of the time.

 

[Myles]

- I pronounce Kyogre as kao-gree... How's it suppose to be pronounced then?
- I pronounce Creselia as cres-sel-lee-ah, but I'm not sure if that's right.
- I'm in the habit of calling Arceus ark-ee-us. But there's so many different canonically given pronounciations that who knows how it's suppose to be pronounced.

i don't know y but in old days i just couldn't pronounce suicune...for me it was suyi-cee-ney.....it makes me laugh thinking about it now...

 

[BenEary]

Other than Magikarp and Gyarados getting the wrong sort of G sound from me, I think my only other one was Raikou. I still don't really know how to pronounce that. Is it Ray-koo, Rye-ko, Rye-koo?

 

[Myles]

Oh yeah, I remember having lots of trouble with Suicune back in the day. It weirded me out. Luckily I know now. :P

 

[Emotion.]

Arceus, will always be Are-see-us to me and not Ark-Us or whatever it is supposed to be.

 

[Mujahid]

another one popped in my head.....it's unown..i still can't figure it out...i mean i've heard people calling it "yu-nown" , "un-known" , "un-non" and "yu-non"...What exactly is it ???

 

[Myles]

The same as 'unknown'. That is its (equivalent) name in like all other languages.

 

[The Darkest Gale]

my friend and I had an argument about dialga's pronounceation (spelling)
anyway she said it was diagla but I said dialga : P
also my sis is still learning xD i.e. fwygon, wedyba

 

[Pokestick good times.]

This I could go on about forever.

To mirror the others... And add my owns (Bear in mind there's a slight swedish accent in all of these ^_^"). I say Rie-koo, Lewg-ia, Ar-seeus (no, not arse-eus XP ...Or wait, that's exactly it), Kaiogre, Rei-kwa-sa (an old friend of mine used to say "Raia-qoo-sa"... Idk how he got that one).. Well, again, I could go on forever. I'll just leave this be for now...

 

[Kotowari]

I used to have some trouble with the legendary Dogs of Jotho. Back in the days (before I saw Pokémon 4Ever in cinemas), I used to pronounce Suicune /Soo-wee-kjoon/ instead of /Swee-kjoon/, Raikou has been pronounced as /Raj-koo/ and /Rai-kô/ (long o) (I believe this is the way the Japanese pronounce it?) But despite that, I still pronounce it /Raj-kou/ /ou/ as in /noun/.

 

[Kon~]

I used to pronounce Suicune as Swi-seen until I saw Celebi: Voice of the Forest and realised I not only failed at speaking, but at reading the name, too.

I also said Groudon as Groo-don instead of Graow-don. Bleh >.<'

 

[Cheyanne]

I used to pronounce Suicune, "suu seen" and I pronounced Kyogre, Ky-o-gre.

Can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

 

[Kon~]

I always manage to find something to pronounce wrong. Like Pidgeot. I said is Pid-jee-oh but in the anime they say Pid-jee-ot. :D

 

[Moltres111]

I used to call Kyogre Kay-Orge.

Epic fail. I sucked at pronouncing pokemon names when I was young, lol.

Also, Groudon was Groo-Don.

 

[Pokestick good times.]

I used to say Groo-don too, lol...

Idk why but it will always sound better than Groud-on in my head XD

 

[Drapionmaster]

Until I watched an anime episode featureing Totaidile, I always pronounced it TOT-AH-DIAL like TOT as in Tater Tot.

 

[Loxius]

It's weird how so many people pronounced Suicune as "Swi-seen". I didas well but now that I look back on it, it's not even close. I wonder how we all came to that conclusion. xDOther pokemon off the top of my head would be Arceus (Ar-kay-us), Gliscor (Gl-eye-scor) and Scizor is kinda weird. I hear so many different versions on all of them and it kinda confuses me.
