Pokemon pronunciations?

[Timbjerr]

Because I anticipated that Zoroark's name would be romanized as "Zoloarc", I still pronounce it as such even though my theory didn't hold up. XD

 

[TheFuturePokemon]

I pronounce Groundon as Ground-dog.

 

[The Noob Hacker]

Groudon- Grouw-don (Like "ground" without the "d" sound followed by "don".)

Kyogre- Kai-Oh-Gur

Arceus- Ar-See-Us (I hate how the official pronunciation is apparently Ar-Kee-Us)

Linoone- Lie-Noon

Dusknoir- Dusk-Nu-Our (Never was sure how to pronounce this one, I just pronounce the last part like you would with the variety of wine.)

There have probably been a lot of Pokemon I didn't pronounce right, I just can't remember them at the time.

 

[ElectricScyther]

At first, my brain switched the letters in "Ariados" so I pronounced it uh-RY-dos. Then there's Dusknoir and Gardevoir, which I used to pronounce Dusk-NWAH and Gar-duh-VWAH, but now I say them Dusk-NOR and Gar-duh-VOR. Of course, there was a time when I said Dusk-NOY-er, which is even worse. I still don't know how to pronounce those two.
With Xatu I sometimes try to pronounce the X as an X, so it comes out "KSATU." Other times I say "ZATU".
Suicune has always been a challenge for me, so I just say it the way it's spelled: SOO-i-coon.

 

[Arma]

I had some pretty bad pronunciations when it came down to pokemon, I'll list some of them:

Suicune-Sci-coone
Linoone-Lie-noown
Kyogre-Kie-rogue
Arceus-Ar-Zeus
Unown-Oo-noun

Also, I called Striaton city Stration, but that was because I wasn't really paying attention.

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

I was watching the anime earlier and I discovered more pokémon I've been pronouncing incorrectly all this time :P

Ariados:

Me: Are-aye-a-dos
Proper: Air-ee-ah-dose

Milotic:

Me: Mill-aww-tic
Proper: My-low-tic

Houndour:

Me: Hound-oor
Proper: Hound-are

 

[miju-kun]

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

me too xDD

Well there's
Groudon: groo-don
Rayquaza: ray-qwa-za
Kyogre: kio-greh
Snivy: snee-vy

 

[PickupTeam]

Dusknoir- Dusk-nwar
Unown- Anon
Jirachi - Jeer-ah-chee
Corsola- Core-sulla
Pachirisu- Pah-chur-ee-soo
Pidove- (with a short i) Pih-duv
Arcanine- Are-kay-nine

 

[XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE]

Also Snivy...

I thought it was Sniv-ee as opposed to Sny-vee lol :)

 

[Maple Leaf]

I pronounce "Houndour" like hound-our. Just the way it looks. =/

Some of my pronunciations are so weird that I can't even describe the phonetics of them. Ugh, they're certainly different, thanks to being around my friends who are utterly clueless on pronouncing them. >_>

 

[Faeiri]

Since I don't think I ever watched the anime, I really don't know how to pronounce most the names. But here are my gut reactions on some of the weird ones:

*Rayquaza = Ray-KAH-za, Groudon = GROU-don as in ground , and Kyogre = Key-OH-gur

*Arceus = AR-kee-us, as in arcane. (Apparently this is right. Huh.)

*Gardevoir = GAR-de-wahr, as in some weird combination of Latin and French pronunciations, or something.

*Hydreigon = Hi-DREE-jun, which I'm like 99% sure is wrong but I don't know what to change it to.

 

[miju-kun]

I also pronounce Giratina as ji-ra-teena but then I heard they pronounced it as gi-ra-teena but I refuse to say gi-ra-teena xDD.

 

[Zeffy]

I also pronounce Giratina as ji-ra-teena but then I heard they pronounced it as gi-ra-teena but I refuse to say gi-ra-teena xDD.

When I watched that movie with Giratina, they pronounced it as 'ji-ra-tee-na' so your pronunciation is probably correct. I'm not that sure, though. I never watch the Pokemon anime anymore. I just caught a glimpse of that Giratina movie on Cartoon Network when I was switching channels.

 

[Seki]

Charizard: Cha-ro-zord
Suicune: Sway-cune
gyrados: Gary-dos
Magikarp: Magic-Karp
Exeggutor: Exact-gu-rator
Teddisura: Ted-dy-saurus (LOL)

I know they are weird :P

 

[ArtekOublier]

I thowgt Hydreigon = Hy-dro-gen

That makes me laugh XD

I pronounce there this way:

Groudon as Gr-ow-don
Alomomola as Alo-momo-la
Rayquaza as Ray-kway-za
Entei as En-tay
Raikou as Rai-koo
Suicune as Swee-coon

I do believe that Audino could be pronounced either way irrespective of the way it's pronounced in the anime:

Audino as Awdeenoe
or as Aw-deenoe

Can't think of any others XD

 

[Ninetales1]

Pronunciation mistakes I used to make:

Pidgeot: PID-jit (that's what the Official Pokemon Handbook said--I guess it was wrong)
Chinchou: chin-CHOO
Xatu: EX-ah-too
Misdreavus: mis-DREE-vus
Mismagius: mis-MAGE-ee-us
Houndour: houn-DOO-er
Raikou: rai-KOO
Entei: EN-tie
Suicune: SOO-ih-koon
Celebi: sell-EB-ee
Sceptile: SKEP-tie-ull
Manectric: ma-NECK-trick
Rayquaza: ray-KWAH-za
Milotic: mill-AH-tick
Sewaddle: SEE-wad-dull
Uxie: OOK-see
Plusle: PLUS-lee
Gallade: GAL-aid

Names I deliberately mispronounce:

Illumise
My way: ILL-oo-mise
Their way: ill-oo-MEE-zay

Arceus
My way: ar-SAY-us
Their way: ARK-ee-us

 

[o3o]

Some of mine are;

Rayquaza - Ray-KWA-za
Groudon - GROO-don
Kyogre - Ki-OH-ger

 

[blackmorale]

This is an on-going problem for me. XD I usually pronounce names based on spellings, such as for Buneary, Gliscor, etc. Also:

Sableye: Sab-lai
Girafarig: Gee-raf-rig
Kyogre: Kee-yo-gre
Rayquaza: Rai-qua-za
Chinchou: Chin-choo

...and so much more.

 

[pikafrogbro]

How about this: Pi-ka-chu

 

[Halfcadence]

You know you're Canadian/French when you first see Herdier and pronounce it as Herd-ee-yay :P

Edit: Oops, my bad on the necro post, my apologies
