Pokemon Pronunciation

[<X4>]

Okay I've decided to set up this thread so we can check and comapre how we're pronouncing the names of pokémon. I want to know how you pronounce their names. My first one is Milotic.

Is it pronounced:
my-low-tick,
mee-low-tick
or mih-low-tick? ("mih" as in the "mi" sound in the word "mint" or "miserable")

[Qoorl]

I'd been sayin' Mih Lah Tic but that's just me...

[Noelle the Bubbly]

I think it's Mee-lo-tic, but that could just be me. Perhaps look it up in wikipedia?

[Kittsuera]

I think it's 'my-low-tick'

[Teresa]

Yep, agreeing with Kitt. At least that's the way I've always pronounced it.

[<X4>]

Does anyone know how it's pronounced on PBR?

[Ninetails 009]

I call it My-Lor-Tic


Hodo you guys pronounce Gardevoir? I do

Garden-vor

But my fried says its

Gad-the-vor

[<X4>]

I say, gard-de-vwaar. ("aar" like in "aardvark")
I think that's how they say it on the animé too.

[The Lacemaker]

Gar-de-vwa, the "voir" would usually mean a vwa sound, at least in French.

Mil [like millilitre]-lot-tick.

[<X4>]

I agree with The Lacemaker.

I really would love it if someone could find out how its pronounced on PBR, though.

What do we think about Chinchou (I think its chin-cho, rather than chin-chow)

[shinypalkia95]

Ah, the pronunciation factor

[Akshay99]

In the anime they pronounce Chinchou chin-chow, and that's how I pronounce it too.

[jirachi4eva]

Is it
Skep-tile
Skep-till
Sep-tile
or Sep-till?

Grow-vill
Grow-vyel
Gro-vill
or Gro-vyel?

[Hikari]

okay i have a book on all the pokemon in sinnoh and their pronunciations! (i got from a scholastic book order) and the real pronunciation is. . . .

my-LOW-tick

ps it was published by the pokemon company

but i guess u can pronounce it anyway u want but it sounds smarter if you pronounce it right

[Ninetails 009]

Skep-tile
Graw-vill

[<X4>]

Yer I think everyone agrees on Skep-tile,

but I say Grovyle "Groh-Vile"

I really wish I had PBR so I could see. :-(

[Eve]

for milotic i say mylowtic

for gardevior i say gar-dee-vior (like dior)

i know thats wrong but i like it

[jirachi4eva]

Now that's kinda weird...

Pineco
is it:
Pee-nec-ko
Pine-ko
Pin-eco?

Sharpedo:
is it
Shar-pee-doh
Shar-pee-do
Shar-pa(as in pair)-doh
Shar-pa-do
Sharp-EE-doh
Sharp-EE-do
Sharp-e(short vowel)-do
Sharp-e-doh?

[jirachi4eva]

Posting again, but I personally think that its Gar-duh-vor.

Spheal. My friend's fave pokemon. But I'm not sure on how to pronounce it. help?

[Yojimbo]

umm i have a problem pronouncing Pikachu, is it
pih kah chuh
Pee kuh chuh
or Pee kuh choo

[Ninetails 009]

Spill or Spew, either way works for me.

Pi-Ka-Choo

[Espeon's Fury]

Miotic is my-low-tick, and and always shall be. Spheal is normally meant to be pronounced sfeel, but if you trouble with the sph you can pronounce it suh-feel.

[Espeon's Fury]

Pi-Ka-Choo, which I suspect you already knew. Oh and Gardevoir is Gahr-dih-vwahr, or something like that. I've always pronounced Sceptile sep-tyle, but that's just me.

[Yojimbo]

Spill or Spew, either way works for me.

Pi-Ka-Choo

I was being a smart ass.

[Ninetails 009]

Hi smartass.


Anyway, how does a person pronounce Kyogre? I call it Ki-yo-girl but it's almost definitely wrong.
