PokéPronounciations.

[Alice]

I actually pronounced Arceus as Are Zeus.

Or Are Soos. As it were. Which is kind of silly, I guess.

 

[saehanfox]

How do people pronounce Dedenne?
I say dee-day-nuh

 

[Jake]

How do people pronounce Dedenne?
I say dee-day-nuh

De-de-nay or day-deen I switch between the two lol

 

[a potato]

I pronounce it however I think it is pronounced the first time I see a name. Even if it is very very wrong.

 

[Reindeer]

How do people pronounce Dedenne?
I say dee-day-nuh

Deh-dehn-neh would be proper.

 

[Silversea]

I can't think of any I've mispronounced. I never had the issue people have with houndour or arceus.

I was never sure about kyogre (ky-o-gr vs ky-og-re), until I picked out the "ogre" part of it and now I've worked it out.

Though, arcanine was an odd one. Assumed it was ar-kay-nine because of the canine part, but some people say ar-can-ine.

Deh-dehn-neh is how I said Dedenne.

Raquaza is pronounced as [Ray-qway (or like spanish que)-zah]
But some others pronounce it as [Ray-qwa-za]

Ah I remember being guilty of this.

 

[puppy]

i pronounce dedenne like

DEH-deh-nay

 

[Silversea]

Pidgeot is another odd one. Some people say it like pidgit.

 

[Stevey Queen]

Game freak should just include Pok?dex entries that are read to you in a roboticish voice like in the anime and add in THEIR intended pronunciations so then this whole dispute between pan-cham, pan-chem, ar-kee-us, ar-see-us, etc, can be cleared up lol

Didn't the updated version of the Pokedex 3D for 3DS eshop have vocal pronunciations of all the pokemon up to gen 5?

 

[Flop]

Apparently Dialga is "Dee-al-guh" but I've always said "Die-al-guh." Ya know, like "diamonds?"

 

[RhinoK]

I used to always have trouble pronouncing Meganium, the final form of Chikorita. I used to try to say it something like "Megan-eeee-um". Now I say it like "meh-gain-eee-um" (rhymes with geranium) thanks to how they say it in the anime, which I know is not always correct/debateable.

 

[Cress]

Milotic. That got so much attention after it was announced for Smash Bros on N's Castle. I say it My-low-tic, but there's also My-low-teek, Me-low-tic, Me-low-teek, My-loh-tic, and a ton of other ways. Also Arceus. I say Ar-see-us and I always will.

 

[Dim]

I used to pronounce rayquaza "Ray-qwah-za" xD

 

[TheWonky]

So do I Nox.

Also, Arceus Arc-ee-ous not ass-ee-ous

 

[Beachland]

I still don't know how to pronounce Mareep. Is it "Mar-EEP" or "MARE-eep"?

 

[Jawile]

I still don't know how to pronounce Mareep. Is it "Mar-EEP" or "MARE-eep"?

I think it's Mar-EEP but I could be wrong

I used to always pronounce Groudon GROO-don but now I pronounce it GRAUW-don

Pronunciation Guide

That's entirely based on Pokedex 3D Pro, which has some errors in it, at least if you realize the origin of the monster's name. There are also some Japanese names that are used in the English version, yet the English voice in 3D Pro pronounces it differently (like Arceus - Ar-say-us (JP) vs Ar-kee-us (EN)).

Another good example is Elgyem, which is just the pronunciation of LGM (Little Green Men). 3D Pro uses a hard G, like in grass.

So it's not really a good thing to base pronunciations on.
