    Shinji: I usually pronouce it "poh keh mon", both when I speak English and Japanese.
    Crystal Clair pronounces it like me sometimes, "pokay mon" sometimes and pok uh mon with the uh almost silent so it sounds like an eh in a way.
    We both pronounce the PokeCommunity as Pokay community though, for some reason
    and when Crystal Clair is in a silly mood -_- she pronounces it pokee man

    I pronounce it "Po" (without the /w/-sound), "Ké" (Like the French words that have an /é/ in it (écrire, allé, that way)) and "mon", just "mon"

    Quoted because this is exactly how I pronounce it, French explanation included. :D

    Really depends.

    Usually Poke - uh -mon. When I'm being stupid I say "Poke-kee-manz". And "Poke-kay-mon" when I feel weird.

    I'm pretty sure I'd say poke - uh -mon, it's easier for me to say. Poke - kay - mon just seems unnatural. I might pronounce it poke - ee -mon sometimes though.

    I think the right way is "Po - kay - mon", and I think it is an insult when someone says "po - kee - man". But usually when people say that it's because they don't even know what it is. No offence to people here.
