    Well, I always said Hippopopadon instead if Hippowdon. Which Pokémon did you pronounce wrong?

    I always used to pronounce Suicune wrong, saying it as "soo-ih-soon" instead of "swee-kun". My pronunciation of Arceus also differs from the supposed official pronunciation, as I pronounce it "ar-kay-us", but I swear the roots I've found in the name's etymology make more sense than those supposedly used by Nintendo. =/

    I always used to call lugia, Alugia (Ah- Lugia) because my friend told me that was how it was pronounced. And I have the same problem as erebus, I still pronounce Arceus that way.

    It ISN'T soo-ih-soon?

    -hangs head in shame-

    Apart from that I don't think i've ever had problems with names. A friend I had years ago used to irritate the hell out of me by constantly pronouncing names wrong, eg: Arctic-uno instead of Articuno, Hunter instead of Haunter. Grrr.

    Well done to you, now if you'd read what I'd said you might have seen that I acknowledged that it's wrong.

    Uuum.. when I was younger I used to call Zapdos um.. 'Zapados'.

    & I pronounced Kyogre so it was 'Kyo-grey' like the Japanese word 'Kyo', because it never occured to me that it was pronounced 'Kai-ogre'.

    I just pronounce Suicune as how I learned Japanese sounds. Sue-e-coon-eh I have no idea if they switch it for english speakers or not. I had a hard time with Dratini. Always ended up saying Dragontini. Thankfully it's fixed. :D

    Also Gyarados, I used to say: Giarados and Hippopotas, I used to saw Hippopowtas.
