I hate western lips and tongue, they can't pronounce shits. In fact, I think Asians are talented in the way they pronounce words (given they have learned the language). Plus with their own unique pronunciation for their mother tongue, ahh, so blessed.

That's exactly what that person said. The word toe sounds like toh.

What kind of weird fucking accent do you have that you don't pronounce "oh" and "toe" with the same vowel?

>I hate western lips and tongue, they can't pronounce shits
Please tell me you mean English tongues and not actually western tongues, because I guarantee you there are plenty of sounds in my language that have to be practiced by Anglos and hard to get right by them.


Also, do I need to remind you that many Asian languages do not make a distinction between the l and the r, whereas languages that use the exact same r sound do.
>>
>>26918751
>>26918759
I mean, "toe" has an "ow" sound, while my pronunciation is like the letter "o" in spanish or "to" in japanese.

It has the same etymology as Togepi dumbo

Of course not, I'm a native spanish speaker. I've spoken English since I was around 5, but I've always pronounced Pokemon names as if you read them in spanish. Try hearing the letter "o" is pronounced in spanish and then listen to the word toe, doe or something like that and you'll get what I'm saying.

I hate Japanese lips and tongue, they can't pronounce shits. I mean, they don't have an "l" sound and when they sing their shitty J-pop songs with Engrish lyrics they pronounce the l's correctly but fuck up and end up pronouncing the r's like that too. They can't differentiate between the "l" and the "r" sounds.

>>26918954
How do you think people say these words? "toooOOOHHH"? I need to get my car "toooOOHHHeD"?

Like how you'd pronounce togepi

but replace pi with deh-mah-roo
>>
>>26918596

As NoA wants to name it, retard.
>>
It's not "toe" you retards, it's "toh".
toh-ge-de-ma-ru

Do you pronounce touhou as two-hoe instead of taw-haw?
>>
>>26918661
>>26918650
Toe? Fucking Americans
>>
>>26918751
It's not the same sound, toe sounds like tow, toh is like tomato
>>
>>26919631
It's the same sound to a lot of English speakers because there's no meaning difference between a longer "toe" sound an a shorter "toh." You can say the word "toe" as long or as short as you want and it means the same thing--it's not like how it is in Japanese. By advising someone to pronounce the first syllable as "toe" is going to have the same effect as telling them to pronounce it "toh" since no one in English is going to say the whole long "tou" sound (or "tow" as people are calling it here) since it's just a single syllable in a longer name. You're acting like someone's going to pronounce it とうげでまる just because someone told them the first syllable sounded like "toe" when that just wouldn't happen.

It mostly sounds to me like others here are trying to sound superior because they make a difference between the two sounds. Who cares? We speak differently.
>>
It's the same sound as the "to" in "torn" (as in a torn piece of paper), except not as drawn out.
>>
>>26919237

>>26919631
"tow" is the exact same sound as the "toh" sound in tomato, what the fuck are you talking about

>toe has an ow sound
You're literally wrong
>>
>>26920556
Spics like to feel superior because they sharply fucking truncate their vowels. While an English long O will sort of drift off into a W sound (very slowly pronounce long O and notice how your lips begin to draw together at the end), spics will cut it directly off at the O. It sounds utterly retarded in English. Nips do the same thing. It's just spics in this thread going OH, YOU SILLY ANGLOS AND YOUR LANGUAGE THAT LITERALLY EVERYONE SPEAKS, HOW GOOFY YOU ARE FOR CONQUERING THE WORLD LITERALLY AND CULTURALLY AND PRONOUNCING VOWELS YOUR OWN WAY, THANK GOD WE HAVE SOMETHING TO FEEL SUPERIOR ABOUT WHILE WE DIE OF ZIKA.
>>
>>26920539
>>26920556
Toe is slightly longer, but it doesn't matter because the main information given by saying the first syllable sounds like "toe" is just that it's a long-o sound instead of a short-o/broad-a or whatever else someone might think it is. The people here making a fuss about it are the ones whose accents or languages differentiate between the two sounds and think that somehow matters in this example. Saying it sounds like "toe" is fine because 9.9 times out of 10 people are going to say it right from that example.
>>
>>26920591
Ich spreche auch Deutsch, Penner.
Also, the first syllable of "tomato" is again, the exact same sound as the entire word "tow" and also the entire word "toe" so I still don't get what the fuck you're talking about
>>
"Toe" sounds EXACTLY the same as "Toh" and "Tow" in English. This is an English imageboard. Your spic nigger language isn't the default here.

Isn't Togedemaru the jap name?

Pikaclones almost always have the same name in each language.

the only slight change was emonga to emolga

I wish it were just Togemaru. The extra syllable makes it too long. At least it's more pronounceable than Dedenne.
>>
I think this will live in mountains

Tohgah sounds like touge which is japanese for mountain pass.
>>
>>26920773
He is correct though...
>>
>>26920812
Yeah, "toh" and "toe" have the same fuckin diphthong or whatever the fuck

It could also be "Togede", "Togema" or something like that

touge pronounced toe gay is Japanese for mountain pass.

So this is confirmed to live in the mountains.

It's not "touge", it's "toge".

You realize the name is Japanese right and the way you idiots pronounce it doesn't make sense at all

It's just not as natural to say as others. Saying Dehdehneh as an English Pokemon name sounds awkward to me. That's all.

How they are romanized flip flops pretty often because it's simply a distinction that doesn't matter in english. even in the same series localizations can be inconsistent.
>>
I don't think you understand the potential cuteness of this rolly polly fuck. Pikachu has lil movies, right? There will be a movie of this thing not being able to stand up after being knocked over. And a bunch of Pokemon will help him.

Dont pikaclones have the eaxct same name as Japan does save for Emolga which was offensive?

I find this hilarious considering yes that wasy why it was changed ("mong" is apparently european slang or something, i.e. mongoloid, and momomonga is flying squirrel in japanese), but they were okay with naming Cofagrigus Cofagrigus in the same gen even though its name actually gets caught in the filter for that gen.
