I've always called it Un-o-va but i've been wrong before, i guess we'll find out in the english anime maybe?
 
I pronounce it Uno-vuh personally. You-no-vuh sounds wrong to me.
 
I pronounce it ; Is-Shu, because I use that name although I've have to break into Unova.

According to Alternative and one of his blogs Unova will be pronounced Yew-Ne-Vah.

I hope to god someone messed it up on the commercial .___. Cause' if thats true Idk what I'll do ;__;
 
You-no-vah sounds good.

You-na-vu? That doesn't make sense. :cer_confused:
 
I've been pronouncing it "You-No-Vah". It sounds right that way but I'm not really sure if it's the right way...

Unova: "Uno-vah" ? Um... That doesn't sound right....

"Youn-oh-vah"? Still odd...
 
Is there really another way to say it? I heard people criticizing the english commercials because they pronnounced Unova wrong. But yes, I perfer You-No-Vah. I think the "Nova" part is what makes Unova epic.
 
American people will find You sound better because of their English language
i'm from Europe and i pronounce it U-No-Va and find it best for me
 
It is Latin so they pronounced it correctly. People are going to complain about it for about a month and then get over it like they did with the designs of the pokemon, and all other changes.

That's what I was thinking, that people from diffferent languages will pronounce it differently because of their accent, and generally most of the public from that language would be accepting of that pronounciation because that's how they speak. Except in this case, where Americans seem to disagree with the pronouncation.

Either way, You-No-Va for me. As in U-Nova. I think the narrator pronounces it how most of us say it, just says it really quickly. :(
