[s p a c e c o w b o y]

how do you pronounce riolu? he's my favorite (tied with Lucario) pokemon, and i would like to know how to pronounce it. the way ive been call it is Rye-lue. ive heard a bunch of different ways. Ree-ohh-lue, rye-ohh-lue, ect. but yea, so thanks for telling me if you post :)

 

[Mōnštȝr¿]

I pronounce it just like it's spelt...

Ri - O - Lu

Riolu

Hope this helps..

 

[Azonic]

Riolu has the same pronunciations for its syllables as Lucario does. Lucario

The pronunciation for Lucario and Riolu would be...

loo - KAH - ree - oh

ree - OH - loo

Pretty much, its the emphasis on the syllable that is different. :x

I say it Ree-oh-lou(as in the person).
i just want to bite my tongue whenever i say it another way.

Well, taking into consideration that Japanese is usually only pronounced in a certain fashion and that the Japanese name for Riolu is very similar to it's English equivalent, I tend to pronounce it: Ree-o-luu.
Then again, I live in the Mid-Western United States and I have been told I put a bit of an accent on certain names, so don't take my word as gold.
That's my guess at to how it's pronounced at least.

Wow i had no idea you were here?

Riolu and Lucario

I pronounce it Ree-Oh-Lou, and Lou-Car-Eee-Oh.

Edit: On another note, it's sad how much they butcher the names in the anime. Is Happiny supposed to be pronounced Happ-Eee-Nee? I always thought it was Happ-Ih-Nee...

 

[Tobi-kun]

its easy to pronounce the way i say it is like this

rai-lu

 

[Rakolo]

I pronounce it Ree-Oh-Loo

 

[Walrein]

As all said here, ree-oh-loo.

You can be certain Hebrew isn't any closer to Japanese.

[4th Gen Matt]

This is the correct way.

Rye - Oh -Lu

Rye as in rye bread.
Oh as in "that guy is a girl" "OH!"
And Lu as in rhyming with poo.

 

[LugiaFreak]

Ree-Oh-Lou

This is the correct way.

Rye - Oh -Lu

Rye as in rye bread.
Oh as in "that guy is a girl" "OH!"
And Lu as in rhyming with poo.

How do you know? Isn't it pronounced the same way it's spelled?

Riolu = Ree-Oh-Lou

Ree as in rhyming with tree.
Oh as in "Oh My God!"
Lou as in rhyming with goo.

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

I just pronounce it Ree-Oh-Loo.

 

[MasterPokemon409]

I pronounce it Ree-Oh-Lou, and Lou-Car-Eee-Oh.

I thought it was Happ-Eee_Nee so it sounds like Happy. Because it's a playful happy Pokemon, and it's end evolution Blissey is a Happiness Pokemon.
