How to pronounce Pokémon


Recommended Posts

Now this isn't a topic about one pronounces the word Pokémon, contrary to one interpretation of the title. In actual fact it is how you pronounce certain Pokémon's names.

 

For example, Suicune, until I saw Pokémon4Ever I said it with the Sui of Suicide, with a Koon on the end. However it's apparently said Swee-Koon.

 

I've just been training my Lucario, now do I say it Luke-Ar-Ee-Oh, or Loose-Ar-Ee-Oh, or something completely different?

 

 

Go.

I say Sui (Suicide) Soon

 

You have to remember, Americans pronounce many words awfully, sometimes in a way that makes no sence at all and breaks all laws of English.

 

That's how I always say it.

 

I also pronounce Zapdos like you pronounce "MS-DOS", apparently it's something like zap-dös.

Well that is how it's supposed to be said.

ArticUNO

ZapDOS

MolTRES

 

The problem there was the American obsession with pronouncing Spanish O's like Oh.

Carl-ohs

Zap-dohs

Lohs Illuminados (That one was especially retarded for a place with somewhere called Los Angeles (sp?))

 

 

Also...Is there ANY word where Sui is pronounces Swee??:hmm:

I thank the NOM Official Pokemon Red/Blue Guide for telling me the uno dos tres bit. *jigs*

 

Quite informative, that guide. Did you know that Koffing and Weezing are known as NY and LA in Japan?
