Let's see, all I can think of are
-Rayquaza (Ray-Kwah-zah instead of Ray-Kway-zah)
-Aron (Air-ron instead of Arh-on)
-Meganium (Mega-nim instead of Me-ganium)
-Staravia (Star-ah-via instead of Star-ay-via)

And that's it, I think. Most of the time, after watching the show, I pick up the proper pronounciation quickly (this can be seen in my Steven Stone and Friends videos - the first few I pronounce Aron Air-ron and the later ones I pronounce it Arh-On)

GIRATINA.

I always pronounced it as "Jur-Ah-Tina" or something like that.
and then I see the ad for Platinum and the guy pronounces it like "Gear-Uh-Tina"
and I'm like "Uh... I think he's mispronouncing it ._." so I looked in that Stickerbook that happens to show you how you pronounce the names and it says the same thing I'm like "Oh. -.-" xD

But, I still pronounce it like I have for the past 2 years. xD
Guess I got used to it. xD


EDIT: Wait, NOW it sounds like "Jear-Ah-Tina"



Also, when D/P came out in the US I pronounced "Palkia" like "Palika"... Heh, I must've misread it.
shortly after I realised I read it wrong and since then pronounced it right. xD

I think the same thing happened with "Dialga"... I think I misread it as "Daliga"... I think, I don't know. xD

Is Sceptile pronounced almost like the word 'skeptical'? Because if it isn't, then I've been saying it wrong for years.

Since I only ever read the names, I say

RAY-chu instead of RYE-chu
DEE-al-ga insteag of DIE-al-ga
Star-VAR-ee-a instead of Star-A-vee-a
SOO-ee-koon instead of SWEE-cune
GROO-don instead of GROU-don
NINDO-ran instead of NI-do-ran
... and any more I can't remember at the moment.
Oh, but I say Ar-KAY-us as well.

Hmm where do I begin lol.
Seems I'm not the only one who's had problems with Raichu, Gyaridos, or Suicune back in the day.
(Rye-ah-chu) Raichu
(Gy-ari-dos) Gyaridos
(Soo-i-sine) Suicune - misread that one lol
I can pronounce everything right now though.
I call Purugly (Pure-ugly) because it's so ugly.
I say (Ay-zelf) because that's how I read it.
Old hacks I liked back in the day:

I'm still confused... how do you pronounce 'Chimecho'?

For years, I said 'chime-cho' but a friend corrected me, saying it was 'chim-echo'.

Which one is right?

I used to pronouce Megainium "Mega-nume" XD
Isn't it Me-gan-ium? Or am I like, seriously wrong? I never knew how to say that one. Dx

Also, for some reason, for Misdreavus... I always wanna say Misdreavius. Even though I know there's not an I.

According to my Pokemon Stickedex, "Chimecho" is pronounced "chime-ECK-ko"

I always pronounced Gallade like "Gal-lad" But then I heard how it was pronounced in the 10th movie and well... yeah.
I also pronounced (and still do) Uxie like... "Ook-see" but apparently it's pronounced "Yuk-see"

There was also Kyogre, which I pronounced like "Kyo-gray"
