I voted other, the uh option was the closest, but I say it more like ih, like the i sound in ick. So poe-kih-mon I guess would be the way I do it.
 
I once heard the correct way is "Poke-kay-mon"

whatever. I either pronounce it "Poke-uh-mon" or "Poke-ee-mon".
 
i also say pok-uh-mon, just cuz it seems more natural and it flows. and i totally agree with - Sigma -, it is an insult where i live to say poh-kee-MAN... (added emphasis on the "man"). but obviously if your a pokemon fan i wouldn't be offended :)
 
i've always pronounced it pok ee mon it sounds weird when its pok ah mon cauz when ash says it it sounds like poka mom lol
 
I pronounce it Poke-uh-mon. I just got used to it apparently, after saying it for so many years.
 
I pronounce it Poke - ee - mon .

I once heard someone say it Poke- oo -mon
 
Poke-eh-mon. I do seem to take the accented e literally! XD
 
I just happily say Poke-ee-mon
I dont care if that is the wrong pronunciation, that is how I always have and always will prononce it Poke-ee-mon
 
I pronounce it poke-uh-mon. Quick and easy.
 
I was walking through Wal-Mart one day and heard a lady say, "Do you want any more pokeymans cards?" I wanted to rip her throat out. I didn't.

Pokémon, with the accent and all. eh.
 
I actually will say it any way...do you wants to play with meh "poke - ah - mans"?
 
I pronounce it 'pok-ee-mon' even though I know the 'è' is supposed to sound like 'eh'. So it should be correctly pronounced 'Pok-eh-mon'
