how do you personally pronounce "Pokémon," /vp/?pɒ kJ mɒn > poʊ kə mɒn > poʊ kɛ mɒn >>>>> poʊ ki mɒn
The way it's supposed to be pronounced because I'm not a english native speaking moron who doesn't know accents.
PO kuh mon
Pohk-men

I'm a spanish speaker, and everyone pronounces it like "pokemón" instead of "pokémon", even the show dub does this. That accent is retarded.
you pronounce it like "pocket monster" so "pocke-mon"

I also make sure to partially aspirate the the stops

I pronounce the "é" as "ay", like in "café".
Po-kay-mon.
>>26386537
That's actually where the true accent goes with the way I pronounce it.
Po-KE-mon
>>26386461
Poke-eh-mon
Anyway's fine as long as it's not "poke-mawn". That's the "I'm not even trying to pronounce it correctly" version.

Pokey-man
I say "poke-uh-mon" out of habit, though they clearly meant it to be "poke-ay-mon" when they put the accent on the e.
Poe-key-mon
Poe as in Edgar Allen Poe
Key as in Key
Mon as in Monster

Germany pronounces it just like Japan.

I pronounce 'po-key-mon'.
yeah, I know it's more like 'po-kuh-mon', but I don't people's perception of me will be that damaged because I mispronounce a kid's game.

This.

The Japanese way is "po-keh-mon"/"po-kay-mon" because it's pocket + monsters and they pronounce "pocket" as "po-keh-to".
Everyone in the 90's always said it as "pokey-mon" though, and I feel like that's the universally accepted pronunciation in English. People who pronounce it the Japanese way sound more like they know what they're doing.
Anything other pronunciation is just trying to mock the name on purpose/AAVE slang.

poe (ポ)
kay (ケ)
mon (マン, saying モ like "Moe and Larry" sounds retarded, and saying man like the word "man" sounds just as retarded)would be nice if I had any idea of how IPA works, but I don't think anyone does
>>26386461
Poe-key-mon. The way it's supposed to be pronounced. If you unironically say it any other way you need to kill your fucking self because you're retarded and don't deserve to live.

I think you've mistaken é for ē.
