I dont know the correct pronunciation of any pokemon from gen 3 up. Thats basically when I stopped watching the show.
I just kinda guess :p This post has been edited by BarkingChaos: Oct 19 2011, 02:15 PM |

I'm in the same boat as BarkingChaos since i stopped watching when Gen 3 started.I just kinda guess :p But i have played a bunch of the games from each Gen but I don't exactly know if I'm pronouncing the Pokemon right or not. -------------------- |

Massively. In fact, I probably have them all wrong, since I don't watch the shows.
Although when I was very young and Gen 2 had just came out, I thought Typhlosion was 'Tyhipsalon'. Derp. -------------------- |

I was playing Emerald and every time I saw a Girafig, I would call it a 'Gigarafig'. Every time I saw a Shifttree, I called it "S***tree". Have you every messed up similarly? ur still wrong ![]() its girafarig ![]() and ive been pronouncing Snivy as "Snivvy" rather than "Sny vee" -------------------- |

Arceus never seems to come out sounding right for me. Still haven't figured out how to say the names of the four musketeers correctly. There are more of these than I'd like to admit, now that I think about it.

I almost always mess it up until I hear it on the anime, so I end up really embarrassed... Imagine yelling the answer on, 'Who's that Pokemon?' and end up saying the name horribly wrong.... :P Quite funny to everyone but me.

Oh yes. For ten years I thought it was Phanphy. TEN YEARS. When I found out it's actually Phanpy it blew my mind.
I probably don't say Seviper right. I say it AR-see-us instead of ar-say-us or whatever the movie called it. Ummm there's probably a lot more, and most of them either gen 3 or gen 5 for whatever reason. -------------------- |

A lot, but the first 2 that come to mind are: Name (my pronunciation) [Guide book's pronunciation]
Chimecho (Chim-cho) [Chime-eck-o] Uxie (Ucks-ee) [Yoocks-ee] |

I don't really care how they're supposed to be pronounced lol. But the only mistake I remember correcting myself for was how I pronounced Snivy.

Reh-GEE-guy-gas instead of Reh-gie-guy-gus. Heavy Pronunciation on the "GEE"

I think up till Gen 3 I didnt made a mistake (or maybe one or two), but Gen 4 and especially Gen 5 have some overcomplicated names that have multiple ways of pronouncing (so yeah, many mistakes). If Im wrong and I hear the pronunciation on the Anime I try to do it right, but sometimes I keep using the wrong pronunciation because its easier ;P
It also doesnt help when English isnt your first language xD -------------------- |

*laughs* Oh, have I ever.
![]() Meganium: I always said it Meh-guh-nee-um. Apparently, it's Meh-gay-nee-um. Still prefer my mispronunciation, though. :p Lugia: I alternated between Loo-gee-uh and Loo-jea. Wasn't until I saw Pokémon the Movie 2000 that I learned it was the first one. :| Raikou: I've pronounced it like the 4Kids dub did: Rye-kuu. I later learned that it was supposed to be said as Rye-koh. Sometimes I still mess up on this one. ![]() Phanpy: I was like Mikansei on this one. Wasn't until I watched an Emerald LP on YouTube that I learned the correct pronunciation, which still sounds odd to me. Scizor: I pronounced this one as Sye-zor, but it's apparently Sih-zor according to the Johto Journeys season of the animé. A long list of mispronunciations! (click to show ) Another list of mangled pronunciations! (click to show ) Mangled pronunciations numero tres! (click to show ) (If any of these pronunciations are correct, someone please mention that in your post and if any are wrong, please mention that as well. I've not seen the animé in years, so Gen III-Gen V was pretty hit-and-miss in regards to pronunciations.) tl;dr: I've pronounced so many names wrong over the years, it's not funny. ![]() This post has been edited by Mars Adept Enten: Jul 22 2013, 10:08 PM -------------------- I'm also known as Queen_Lugia on SPPf, and Queen-Articuno on dA, as well as a former aspiring trinketer on GPX+, a proud TheRunawayGuys fangirl, a proud participant of Extra Life, and proud supporter of TwitchPlaysPokemon.
