Po-kay-mon.
Not Po-key-mon.
Or Po-key-men.
Or Po-key-mens.
Or Po-key-man.
Or Poke-Me-Man.
OR PO-KUH-MON. (< This one was actually said in the Diamond/Pearl seasons!)

Maybe I'm just a fanboy (-_-), but there are so many annying mispronounced versions of this word. See that little accent there on the e? It's French. It makes an 'ay' sound. 'Kay?

Lol. Day of Sex. And what the hell is Ys??

I can't believe Ehrgeiz is not on here. I still can't pronounce it.

Haha. Pookimun almost sounds like a type of element. It could be a new element: Pookium. Sounds cute, don't it?

And I now know Ys is "Ease" but Im still pronouncing it wrong when i read it. By the way, I think Popolocrois is supposed to sound french and it might be pronounced
"Poh-Poh-Lo-Kwa" The oh's pronounced like: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

'''Popolocrois is supposed to sound french and it might be pronounced
"Poh-Poh-Lo-Kwa" ''''

wrong. It would be POH POH LoH CROH AH .
'croh' like in CROcodile,'ah' like in Apple.
the closest thing to english IMO. the sound 'oi' in the end being very hard to replicate in english.
You don't pronouce the 's' at the end. And it should be, in fact 'croix'. The english word 'cross' comme from this.

My dad always (used) to say something like, "Oh, how's that 'Po-kuh-mon' game?". Then I'd always say, "Dad, its pronounced 'Po-kay-mon', NOT 'Po-kuh-mon'".

My mom and I always (used) aruged on how to say "Mario" right. I say "Mar-ee-oh". She says "Mare-ee-oh"

I'm an adult now, and I STILL argue with them like i'm 5 years old.

popolocrois is actually an awesome game(but also the cheesiest thing you will ever here--seriously! worse than the kid in terminator 2). if anyone took time to play it for 1 min, they will say it in the game.

it's po(as in edgar allen)-po-lo(as in roco __co)-kr-oi(as in an british exclamation...ex: "OI!Wanker!)-ss
