Pok-ay-mon. Some people have trouble understanding what Pokemon it is unless you pronounce it a certain way. For instance Scissor, I mean Scizor (sea-zohr). And sometimes people pronounce Pokemon names different from what you hear from the anime or other pronunciations like hearing someone from the UK on Youtube (or any game of that matter like Mair-io).

The real pronunciation of Pokémon is Poke-a-mon. I am pretty sure that the accent over the e is French and makes the e sound like a. The majority of Americans and other people around the globe pronounce it Poke-ee-mon but now you know.

Po-kay-mon. I'm French so I pronounce it the way it is written ._. And the é is pronounced like ay sort of?

I've pronounced it as Pok-e-mon my entire life, probably because my older siblings did while I was growing up?

Poke-ay-mon. That's how I've been pronouncing it for a while now, and I refuse to change that sometime soon. Though, I do sometimes pronounce it poke-ah-mon.

I usually say Pok-uh-mon and lots of people say pok-ee-mon but it is actually pronounced po-kay-mon. There is a thingy above the e.

I say "Poke-ee-mon" despite knowing some French and knowing it's "Poke-ay-mon" due to the accent above the e, because it's just easier for me, I guess. :p

Well, I'm German so I just pronounce it the way it's written (like the most people I guess). "Pokémon". I say it like the German version of that Google-Translator-person (here). There are also people who pronounce it like this (listen to the German one) and I don't know why xD
But if I said it in English, I would probably say "Pou-kee-mon" or something like that.

Ok I'm a bit confused how to word this but I pronounce it like Pok-e-mon that is what I was always thought is how you pronounced it and I didn't even know they're was any other ways people pronounce it but all I know is what I said I pronounced and Pok-A-mon, Poke-mans,pok-uh-mon it is pretty weird how some people say it isn't it?

It's pronounced as Po-keh-mon, and I say that too. >.< But everyone pronounces it different, I mostly hear Pok-ee-mon. :p
I don't say Pok-ee-mon, but ALMOST EVERYONE I know say it like that. I say Po-keh-mon, like you.
