Po-Key-Mon or Po-Kay-Mon?

[Zelos]

I know that the name is technically pronounced Po-kay-mon but ever since I saw the word, I pronounced it as the first one I mentioned. I've never really thought the latter sounded very good.

Anyway, how do you pronounce it? One of these two ways...or another? (XD)

 

[kohei]

Poh-keh-mon

Thats how I pronounce it (since it's a direct reading of the Japanese spelling...)

 

[coachwhipneoship]

I interchange
Po-KAY-mon and Po-KEE-mon and some weird combo of Po-Kay-ee-mon, and Po-kuh-mon.

 

[Lord_Crump]

I've always pronounced it Po-kay-mon.

 

[Phoenix Riley]

I say Po-kuh-mon is that really really weird?

 

[Mari-Ashley]

Po-kay-mon. Always have pronounced it that way.

 

[Light_Azumarill]

I've always pronounced it somewhere between Po-kay-mon and the correct Japanese pronunciation. Eh, it usually bothers me a little when people say Po-kee-mon, which is how my Dad says it. My Dad's bad with names though... for three years he called Misty: Christy. XD

Po-kay-mon is how it should be pronounced in the US though (as stated), because the accent above the "e" makes it change its sound to an "ay" sound. But, meh, say it the way you want, no one's going to arrest you. ^____^

It depends on your accent and where you're from really. In Ash's early days of being a trainer I recall him pronouncing it as Po-Kuh-Mon, as the Sandshrew trainer AJ did. Whereas people such as Dario, the Dodrio trainer, pronounced it as Po-Key-Mon. Officer Jenny (or one of her clones) often pronounces it as Po-Kay-Mon and/or Po-Kuh-Mon.

However, to answer the question, I say Po-Kay-Mon.

I pronounce it as "Poh-kuh-mon" at times if I'm feeling lazy or if I'm talking quickly enough...however, my normal pronunciation of it is more along the lines of "Poh-keh-mon".

 

[Sammi]

I'm more of a Po-kay-mon (or maybe it's more like keh/kuh, I'm not sure)person. I'm pretty stingy about that.
My little brother says po-kee-mon and it drives me mad sometimes @_@

 

[C.Victoria]

Because of my British accent I've always pronounced it 'Po-kuh-mon'.

I've sometimes heard people around my area pronounce it 'Poh-ko-mon'. Where I live it's either 'Po-kuh-mon' or 'Poh-ko-mon'. I've never heard anybody pronounce it Po-kay-mon.

 

[Dragonfree]

Poh-keh-mon

Thats how I pronounce it (since it's a direct reading of the Japanese spelling...)

Ditto here, pretty much...

 

[Cherrim]

Po-keh-mon, sort of. Like kohei and Dragonfree, I tend to pronounce it more as a Japanese word rather than English. o_O;

It bugs me when it's pronounced any other way. XD

 

[JAG]

Hmm... Intresting topic. I'd say I pronounce it like Po-Khe-Mon. :)

 

[Joe_the_evilfox]

I seem to pronounce it po-key-mon for some reason.

 

[Allstories]

Po-kay-mon, because the é makes the 'ay' sound.

 

[SupaCuz]

Po-kay-mon cuz that's what the shows says.

 

[003]

I have always said it as "poke-a-mon" or "po-kuh-mon" mabye its because im from the south ^_^

 

[Himawarii]

I pronounce it "Po-kay-mon" :P Unless I'm feeling lazy,I interchange.
