    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
