Pokemon pronunciations?

[Miss Doronjo]

How do you pronounce the names of certain pokemon?

Like for me, I used to pronounce Groudon "groo-don", and Linoone "Lin-On".

 

[LatiasSoulDew]

Because we all came from various countries this will become interesting. These are the way I pronounce some Pokemon name:

Pidgeot "Pi-jiot"
Clefairy "Kle-fe-ri"
Hypno "Hi-peno"

And when I small I used to pronounce Jynx "Jin-ex", because when I pronounce it I separating the Jyn and x.

I thought that was how you pronounced Groudon.
I pronounce Audino "Awe-deeno". I have since found out that its name was meant to be a pun on "I dunno".

 

[Echidna]

Groudon: (Graw-don)
Clafairy: (Cla-fair-e)
Hypno: (Hip-no)

What's the official pronunciation for Suicune? I always said "Swee-koon", but my friends range from that to "soo-ih-koon-ay" to "soo-ih-soon-ay". :c

 

[Echidna]

No its swee-coon like you read it !! Its said in the move pokemon 4 ever.

 

[Zayin]

I say Groo-don too, but I think the official way -which I hate- is Graw-don. I pronounce Sneasel as Sneessel but in the anime they say Sneezel (euw).

I used to pronounce xatu as 'ex-aytu' but then I thought it sounded weird so I prounced it as 'zatu'.

 

[Hooh]

Xatu as Ex-atu when I was young, Loo-jee-ah instead of Loo-gee-uh.

 

[Gothitelle.]

I thowgt Hydreigon = Hy-dro-gen

 

[Kea]

I say so many wrong...

Kyogre is Ky-rogue. Like Tyrogue I guess?

Groundon is ground...-on.

I used to say Meganium as Mag-ne-um (or maybe that was Pokemon Stadium) if that counts.

 

[Mew~]

Raikou has been pronounced differently in the anime around 10 different ways which is a bit confusing.

I just say, Rhy-koo.

 

[Zeffy]

I used to pronounce Kyogre as 'ki-og-ree', which I still probably do sometimes.

And I used to pronounce Pikachu as 'pie-ka-chi', which I think is very funny because its so horribly wrong. xD

 

[PlatinumDude]

I follow the anime pronunciations. But I used to pronounce Bonsly as "Bons-lee"

 

[Nelauk]

i pronounce arceus as ars-e-is, groudon as grao-you-don, lugia as loo-ge-uh, and so on...

 

[bwburke94]

For the record, Raikou is pronounced like in Japanese. I'm surprised the movie 13 dub got it right after all the screw-ups back when 4kids was doing the dub. For Zweilous and Hydreigon, the "ei" is pronounced like in German due to the theme naming. Finally, Regice is "Reg-ice", not "Re-gi-ice" unless you're Japanese.

 

[solarowl]

I used to call Gyarados gai-ara-dos. XD
I didn't know the Y was silent until I watched the Anime.

 

[lionrt60]

Groudon as grr-ow-don? is that right?

 

[Seeds Horizon]

I pronounce them usually how they see to me, which is normally right. I used to watch the anime as a kid a lot, so most of the Gen I-III Pokemon names I know the right versions of, but for Gen IV-V I just call it like it seems XD. Groudon I used to think Groo-de-on, Kyogre was Ke-yo-ge-re XD.

Groudon

Charizard
Char-eh-zard
