For me, it's POH-kay-mon :cross-eye

You might add the intonation too ;)

Note: Most Germans pronounce it poh-ke-mon, fully ignoring any accent or stuff.

The Kana spells Po-ke-mo-n, which is pronounced "Poh-keh-mon" (when something in Japanese is followed by an 'n', the syllables are combined). I tend to pronounce it "Poh-kuh-mon", but the anime characters pronounce it "Poh-kay-mon", due to the ay sound that you get when you stick an accent above an e.
 
For me, being Australian and all, pronounce it as
"Poker-mon"
but if Americans tried to say it, it would sound like more of
"Poh-kurr-mahn"
:) I can't get my tongue around Poh-kay-mon
 
POH-keh-mon basically...it's the way I pronounced it all my life (except when I was a n00b and said poh-KEE-mon all the time. XD)
 
Mmm... depends. o_O Sometimes I'll say po-keh-mon, the Japanese way, whereas other times I'll fully drag it out to po-kay-mon. Mostly the latter, though.

;_; My brother calls it Po-key-mon... it hurts my ears. *sniffles*
