Don't you hate it when...


The Amazing Avian

Recommended Posts

Who would ever seriously pronounce Mario wrong? And I'm sure there are tons of people who pronounce it Po-key-mon rather than Po-keh-mon, myself included sometimes. When it comes to the Pokemon names, I usually get them right. Some of them I just call how I see them even if I don't know, like Bonsly or Rayquaza. Bonsly -> bonzai tree, therefore it should rhyme. And Rayquaza looks to me like Ray-qua(ntum)-zuh. Forget the movie.

 

It kind of irritates me frequently when people say Rai-oo when talking about Ryu from Street Fighter. It's Japanese, it should rhyme with the letter Q.

When I was younger, I "argued" with my friends, because of some Pokemon names. For ex. Macoke. They were saying it Machokee(something like Machoki). Or they were saying Flygon--> Fligon... It, just, doesn't sound good! But we don't argue anymore... I mean who cares about Pokemon, now?!?!

I here most British accents pronouce it Mare-io. Like Chris Cohen does that a lot.

Most annoying Pokemon names:

Kyogre (Ki-a/o-gray mostly)

Ho-oh (Ho Ho)

Lugia (Lugaya)

Arceus (Ar-Kay-us)

Darkrai (Dark-ray)

Makuhita/Hairyama (Lots)

Nidoking/queen (Needoking/queen

 

That's all that really come to mind right now.
