LOL... I don't know why, but that just makes it sound like Pokay moansss...

Umm.. from what I could interpret: Po/kay/mon
Wait.. I have one of those old Pokemon pronounciation guide things *goes to check* My book thing says "Poe-kay-mon". O_o

Sidenote: In Japanese, it isn't always called Pokemon. Pocket Monsters is still used too.... "Poketto Monsutaa"

More like the latter one IMO...

But umm, try watching some Japanese episodes on Youtube and see if you can decided on that.

Pokemon episodes, Japanese or not, are as likely to find on YouTube as snow is in the Sahara. XD
Not really, XD There are some that haven't been taken down, yet.
