I never really thought about it until I was talking with a friend from the United States, heh. It's probably the only Pokemon that Americans will pronounce differently then Brits and Canucks.

So, how do you pronounce it? ^_^

You forgot Australians D:<

I pronounce Zee, solely because Zee sounds better than Zed in terms of Porygon. Otherwise, I say 'Zed'.

...hm. I don't know if I've ever pronounced it aloud before. I think I have to agree with Angelix though--"zee" does sound better. It rolls off the tongue after "Porygon" a lot better than "zed."

I take pride in pronouncing it "zed" at all times, though, so I'm torn. :(

Does that mean canadians say dragon ball-zed...?
Most don't, from my experience. Although I do say it like that, XD.

It's zee. That's how the PBR announcer says it, and in a subtle way, zee sounds more technological than zed.

I don't think Porygon-Z has yet been introduced into the anime. But it's likely that he will pronounce as "zee," since y'know ... "american pokemon cartoons." You answered your question yourself there ...
