  • I just found out a few weeks ago that I've been pronouncing Dialga wrong. Apparently, it's pronounced, "die-ALL-guh" I pronounced it, "DEE-al-guh"

    And Buizel. XP I pronounced it "boo-EE-sel" I have NO idea why.

    I'm sure there are probably more, since I'm not entirely sure of the official pronunciations of most of the names. ._.

    Before I started saying it correctly, Suicune sounded like a bit like suicide.

  • Let's see...

    1. Kyogre - kyo-ger (Yes, I still do it)
    2. Suicine - Su-i-sin
    3. Rayquaza - Ray-quah-zaaaaaaa
    4. Girafirag - Gira-fig
    5. Aron - Air-on/Aaron, for the matter
    6. Chimecho - Chim-eee-ko
    7. Piloswine - Pi-low-swine

    That's all I can think of.
    How do you pronouce Gyrados?

    Char-Lizard.

  • Hm, it's hard to remember what I used to pronounce many names wrong, although I do remember that my cousin pronounced Feraligatr as furg-ah-late-er (now that I think about it, she used to say it similar to percolator XD).

    Since I had all of the Pokemon Stadium games when I was a kid I seemed to learn pronunciations that way, but I still messed up a lot. D:

  • I used to pronounce Bonsly as bon-slee instead of bon-slie.

    Rayquaza used to be Rai-kwa-za until the Destiny Deoxys movie.

    Am I the only one who pronounce Chimecho as "Kime-echo"? And is Rayquaza "Ray-quah-za" or "Ray-quay-za"?

  • I used to pronounce Kyogre as Kray-o-gre. What a shock when I learned how it was pronounced in the Anime.

  • Is it Dee-alga or Die-alga? And is it Pal-kee-a or Pal-kai-a? If it's the latter, I've been saying them wrong. >_<

    i used to pronounce Farfetche'd

    Far-fetched- D
    I did that, too, when I was a kid of course.

    It also took me a while to realize Chimecho was 'Chime-echo' and not 'Chime-cho', and I still call Regice 'Regi-ice'. I also call Rayquaza 'Ray-quah-za' because it sounds a lot more correct than 'Ray-quay-za' does. One of my cousins used to call Ho-oh 'Ho-ho' or 'Oh-oh' or something like that. X3

  • I used to think they were Hitmonchan and Kickmonchan for a long time, when I was about 5, of course! xD
