How do you pronounce Pidgeot?

[Fate Falls]

According to Bulbapedia:

Two different pronunciations for Pidgeot's name, Pidg-ee-ot and Pi-git, have been used interchangeably in the anime.

I grew up calling it "Pidg-ee-ot," but then I heard it being called Pi-git, and I liked the sound of that better.

So which way do you say it?

I've always pronounced it "Pig-ee-ot" That's always what it looked like to me, so that's always how I've said it. The "Pigdit" pronunciation has always bothered me..
By the way, not to be off topic, but I LOVE the banner in your sig.

I agree -- it does look far more like it should be pronounced pidg-ee-ot. I wonder what it really was intended to be? hehe

Aw, lol well thanks! ^.^

 

[Azonic]

pig-ee-ott

Sounds soooo much better if you ask me.

 

[Apostrophe]

Pig-ee-ot. Sounds less wonky and weird, and it fits in with the pattern that was established with the previous two evo's.

Well, I usually (or at least used to when I watched it) pronounced the names of Pokemon the way they did on the anime but I disagree sometimes. For example.. the way they pronounce Rayquaza REALLY bothers me! >.<

As for the games, Pokemon Stadium didn't always pronounce the names the way they did in the anime. Zapdos in 1 and Raichu in 2 are horribly pronounced.

I guess it's all a matter of interpretation, though. You say tomaito, I say tomahto. lol

Oh, and your welcome. :]

Pig-ee-ot is the way for me...

It's pronounced 'Pid-Gee-Ot'. If you look at it's Japanese name, Pijotto, you can see this to be true. In Japanese, it's pronounced the correct way, "Pi-Je-Ot-To", with 'To' being the stressed syllable that is normally not pronounced when Pijotto is said with another word following it up.​

Pidgeot. o3o
I drew that awesome bird today. 8D What coincidence...

Anyways, I pronounce it /Pidjod/... Or something like that. =/

The "E" between the "g" and "o" is barely pronounced in the way I say it... so no Pi-GEE-ot.

 

[Timbjerr]

When I was younger, I actually used both interchangeably, but I think PID-gee-ot is the most phonetically pleasing to say. XD

I pronounce it "Pid-gee-ot"
Used to get mixed up with Pidgeot and Pidgeotto.

 

[Logiedan]

I pronounce it Pid-gee-ot. I always have,since it's the only pronounciation I know.

 

[The Pretender]

Pid-jot. That's the way I've heard it say it's name, and I like that one a lot better.

 

[leingodf8]

[Yuyumi]

I pronounced it Pid-ge-ot. At first i pronounced it Pid-got. xD

 

[morrison]

Pidge-(j)ot

since I don't have any influence of the tv show(since I only watch it in german dub) I pronounce it like I think it should be ^^

 

[DestinyBender]

Pig-e-ot.

Odd, I know. Very, very odd.

 

[Halcyon]

[.Chocolate.]

Pidge-E-ot.
That's how I grew up saying it.xD;

 

[Alistair]

I've always pronounced it pi-GEE-aught. XD The aught is mainly due to my dialect.

It's similar to how I say Milotic. mi-LAW-dik. I hate saying MY-lo-tic. >.<
