The Hoenn Pokerap pronouncing Kyogre as Kee-Oh-Gree when it's actually Ky-Oh-Guh and pronouncing Beldum as Bed-Lum.
Even though it's not a Pokemon name, Chuggaaconroy mispronounced Canalave City as Can-a-Lar-Vay in his Platinum LP until people corrected him.
I used to think Entei was pronounced like hentai until I watched the third movie and I thought Suicune was pronounced Soo-Is-Oon until I watched the fourth movie. Lucahjin mispronounced it as Soo-Seen in her Heart Gold LP until people corrected her. She now jokingly calls the legendary beasts Geico, Hentai and Sweetcorn.
Until I heard its name in the anime, I somehow misread Metagross as Metacross and got its name mixed up with Heracross.
I didn't realise Eelektrik had two e's in its name at first and thought it was pronounced the same as electric.

I have a kid in my neighbourhood, who loves pokemon a lot. He pronounces Entei as Aunty. I have told him a thousand times till now not to say so but (i dont know why) he keeps on pronouncing the same thing.

Arceus which is supposed to be Ar-say-oos (think like Zeus or deus).
Kanto = It's named after Kanto, Japan. Khan-toh, like the khan in Kangaskhan. Can-toe is wrong. The dub pronounciations aren't always correct.

Wow I'm actually learning so much from this thread. A bunch of pronunciations I thought I had down I was no where close XD Also, I remembered one I still have trouble with. Reuniclus. I think it stemmed from me being too lazy to actually sound out the letters (I know, sad life). I usually pronounce it "re-unucleus" anyway, even though I know it's wrong.
I could be wrong but I believe it would be "DRAYG-ALJ", as in "dragon" and "algae" combined. That's what it is, isn't it? Like, seaweed-dragon Pokemon? Whatever lol.
