    Yeah well, I never once thought about how I pronounced it until I spent a few seconds to say it out loud in made up sentences to see.

    Pokay-mon gang, here I come.

    In Spanish, PO-ke-mon or Po-ke-MON, depending on which other words are stressed in the sentence and on whether the title of the game is translated. For example, Po-ke-MON Es-car-LA-ta, but PO-ke-mon HEART-GOLD.

    In English, always stressed on the first syllable, POH-ke-mon.

    I swear this would be easier if I still had my phonetic alphabet keyboard installed...
