Not going to type out how I pronounce them but...

▪ Gengar
▪ Gyarados
▪ Feraligatr
▪ Magcargo
▪ Larvitar
▪ Camerupt

That's all that I can think of at this moment, there are most likely more.

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. =/
Until I read this post, I used to pronounce Suicune, like Suicide...

I know I've got a few

Wartortle: was always Warturtle to me

I always thought Kabuto was: "Ka-bu-to" but then the anime had to go and call it "kabu-to"

Togetic: I think "To-ge-tic" sounds weird, I've always called it "To-get-ic" and continute to do so haha

Xatu: Honestly, I always called it "Ex-a-tu"

Who actually pronounced "Sudowoodo" right the first time? I didn't.

I always called Magcargo, "Marg-a-cargo" haha

Piloswine: I would say "Pillow-swine"

I said all three of the legendary dogs name's wrong at first. "En-tee" "Rai-e-kou" and "Su-e-soon"

I called Lugia "Lu-gee-a" and still call it that because "Lu-gey-a" sounds too much like "loogey"

Always said "Milot-ic" instead of "Mi-lo-tic"

I got older as the generations moved on though, so I started pronouncing more names right yay


I do have one question to add though..

Has anyone ever pronounced a real animals name with a Pokemon's name, by accident?

I can honestly say that I've said Charmander instead of Salamander, and Charmeleon instead of Chameleon, in front of a large group of people haha. More than once too.

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. ._.

4. Girafirag - Gira-fig

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.

I say Gair-a-dose
And is Rayquaza "Ray-quah-za" or "Ray-quay-za"?
I've always said Ray-quah-za but my freind says Ray-quay-za.
