So here's a nifty video of pronunciations from the OFFICIAL Pokedex Pro 3D, an app sold for the 3DS at one point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Loz61U6CuEBrowse the video for however long you feel, or hover over the bar looking for a particular pokemon from Gens 1-5. Find a Pokemon that you pronounce wrong, and then report on your findings with how you say it, versus how THE MAN wants you to say it.Here's some I've been mispronouncing and don't plan on changing, because what ever.>CobalionMe: Ko-BALL-eonGF: Ko-BAIL-ian>KyuremMe: KEE-yuh-remGF: KYOO-rem>PiloswineMe: Pillow-swineGF: PIE-Low-Swine
>>56805845My country's anime VAs called Gyarados - Gayardos for like 4 gens straight.
>>56805845PhanpyI say "Fan-Fee"It's "Fan-Pee", as it's clearly spelled.
>>56805845I refuse to pronounce "Illumise" and "Reuniclus" like that.
LinooneMe: Lin-oonGF: Line-oonI can't even fault them on this one. It makes so much more sense to go from Zigzag to a Line.I just always thought it was Lin-oon.
Most people say Po-KEE-mon while it's Po-KAY-monIt's litterally in the logo thoughPOKéMOn - pocKEt monster
>>56805908>EE-loo-ME-saysay it with me anon.>ee-loo-me-saynot>ill-oo-mize
Me:>My-LOT-tikGF:>ME-low-tik
>>56805845>KEE-yuh-remAre you retarded?
>>56805930No.
>>56805967No, my brain will make words easier for my mouth to pronounce. Also, I don't watch the ashime, so I only have the names to go off of.Like, in order to keep the Regi- prefixI say >Regi-Icewhen it's supposed to be>Redge-IceI will not be pronouncing it KYOO-remKyurem is a three syllable word :)
>>56806005Japan uses the same excuse for their ritarudedo ingurishu so I guess that evens it out
>>56805845>Vullaby rhymes with "lullaby"It was always "Vullabee" to me
>>56806005Do you also pronounce cute kee-yuh-ee?
>>56806049same. We probably thought "baby" and got the -bee from the second syllable of baby. >>56806064no, I pronounce it >KOO-tay
>>56805967It's lev-ee-OHH-suhnot lev-ee-oh-SAA
>>56805918Pocket isn't pronounced po-KAYT you retard.
>>56806269Unecessary agressiveSign of low intelligence. Anyway. I advise you to listen to the first english opening or how japanese pronounce poketto monsuta . That's how you should say it instead of pokeemon
I pronounce it EE-vel-tullapparently that's not how others pronounce it, but I don't know what the official way is.
>>56806909(me)I guess I should explain. I thought it was like Y's or Yggdrasil. So I don't say "Yuh-" like others apparently do.I pronounce it "EE-"
>>56805845>Me: KEE-yuh-rem>GF: KYOO-remI always pronounced it the GF way. How the fuck did people come up with that for him?t. doesn't watch the anime and 3D friends never bring up Kyurem
>>56805845Huh I didn’t know it was Pick-a-chu
>>56807197I don't know man. That's how I say it. That's what this thread is about.Saying pokemon names wrong.Do you pronounce them all canonically correct?
>Darmanitan is pronounced like ‘Taliban’ or ‘Askaban’It’s darma (daruma doll) + ignite + titan. So it should obviously be “darma-knightan”
>>56805845Pronunciations aside, he’s making shit up about Keldeo having a second form. Is it exclusive to Pokedex 3D Pro?
>>56808081Keldeo has a second form anon. It's a form change from a move, like Meloetta.
>>56805845>PigeotI usually say this more like "PIDGE-ot" rather than "PIDGE-EE-ot", but I've also been aware that the official pronunciation puts more emphasis on the middle part.>MetagrossI've always said it "graws" insted of "grose".>AlomomolaThis is probably the most different out of all of them. I've always said and heard this one as "al-o-MOM-o-la" with the middle syllable pronounced with a short O rather than a long O, I guess because I thought it was supposed to be a play on the word "mom" because it's the Caring Pokemon.
>poochyena and mightyena aren’t pronounced hyenaHmmmmmm…
>>56808169I also pronounce Metagross with -gross rhyming with floss or toss, as opposed to 'gross'.
>>56805858This.Gajardos, Growlajt and Pokémą FTW.
>>56805918Its POH-KEH-MOHN.Most of people pronounce it wrong.Poh-kee-man is disgusting.
>>56805845>lop-unnyI always said Low-punny
>>56805845i will never pronounce Arceus with a hard c. it's "ar-see-us".>>56805908i say "il-lu-meeze">>56806005consider: "cure-em"
A LOT of these, I don't mispronounce, but also don't stress the same syllable that the guy trying to be Dexter stresses.
>>56806005>>Regi-IceThis is how they said it in the Lucario movie. Both Ash and Regice say it that way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSMQYDYBALY
>>56806345/e/ is not /eJ/, retarded monoglotAnd if 4chan fucks up the Unicode, second character is:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EA%9E%AE>>56809513And it's how the kana are written.Guess "Regïce" looks too dumb
>>56806005I’m disturbed by how you would pronounce Kyu.
>>56805845They're wrong, so who cares what they think.
bump>BWEE-umpf
>>56805845>Me: KEE-yuh-remAre you retarded
>>56808549It’s lop, as in, a lop eared rabbit.
>>56805845>>56805967>>56806005>>56807197>>56810595>>56812750What the fuck? It's Kai-rem.
It's Ray-Qway-Za and not Ray-Qwah-Za
>>56805845[arkhɛws]So the Japanese and English pronunciation are different.
>>56805845japanese names are easier and more consistent
>>56813645arse us lol
>>56810786They being Game Freak since apparently they do the name localizing themselves.
>>56812931Yeah. But also punny, as in bunny.or any other -unny words I can't think of atm
>>56813723Imagine just sitting around at Gamefreak getting to name things.Burstlax. Blastoad.
>>56815993...Burstload
Death to everyone who says Rat-ah-tat-ahIt's Rat-tat-ah
>>56805858Ja też jestem z Polski pozdrawiam
>>56805858>>56808261>>56817664Moje murzyny xDDD.
>>56805845The pronunciations listed here are not the end-all-be-all.Take the Machop line for example: very obviously formed from 'macho', which is pronounced "ma-cho", so it would be for example "Ma-champ", and yet the announcer pronounces it with a schwa, as-in "Muh-champ". No way that was the intention.So don't take all of these as gospel and canon.
>>56805845Snubbull = snub (nose) + snuggle + bulldog
>>56817634Rattata is just a joke name based on the cymbal drumming onomatopeia.So it is "rat-tat-tuh".
>>56818070>>56817634I still pronounce it ra-tuh-tat
>>56813723Their job titles are "supervisor". They don't do the naming, they approve the namings.There is almost certainly not a single Jap in GameFreak who has enough cultural knowledge to handle the naming of everything in even one gaijin language, let alone over a dozen.
>>56813645Arceus with an 's' corresponds to nothing, correct me if I'm wrong. A hard 'c' sound actually connects to "arc", "arch", "arca", "archaeo", and so on.-eus obviously comes from 'deus'. So the intended name meaning is like "over-god" to "ancient god".
>>56808502Pokeyman is just Naroodo and Raiyu: an ignorant normalfag pronunciation.The acceptable colloquial pronunciation is Pokuhmon. Pokehmon is obviously official but cringe and not even accurate to its original name.
>>56810512>Guess "Regïce" looks too dumbNo, Modern English just doesn't employ diacritics anymore at all.For example 'naïve' is now just 'naive'.Same with 'facade', which is supposed to have a cedilla but we, again, don't use such anymore. That's why I thought it was like "fake-aid" as a child. Literally never heard of the word and didn't learn it for years.
>>56808187it should obviously be "might-yeenuh"if the "official" pronunciation is something else, the guy who wrote the guide and the person who spoke the line both didn't do their jobs
>>56818099According to the leaks they do work with the names
>>56808169>I've always said it "graws" insted of "grose".Metagross uses "gross" to mimic "cross" which references the X on its face, but goes with the pronunciation of the word "gross" because that still relates to its heaviness.If they wanted to emphasize the cross, they could have just named it Metacross/Metakross. Instead, they went with the 'g' so they could hearken to both.
>>56807992It's more likely to be 'orangutan', referencing its ape-ness, than 'titan'. And the 'u' isn't stressed which is how your conception of the 'i' being stressed doesn't happen.
>>56807901apparently the pika is pronunced "pie-ka" so it doesn't matter
>>56806049the lullaby pronunciation is better
>>56818083Death to you and anyone else pronouncing it this way as well. Just as bad
>>56806269No shit the full title "Poketto Monsuta" doesn't have it roll off the same way as the abbreviated name for the creatures. Absolute retard.
