    Here are some of my fails at pronoun-cation of their names:
    Groudon= Grow-Don
    Electribuzz= Elect-Trick-Buzz
    Steelix= Steal-Ix
    Hitmontop= Hit-Mon-Top
    Magmor= Mag-More

    The two I can only remember is Chandelure and Regice
    Chandelure = Shan-di-lere(I really don't know why..)
    Regice = Re-gi-ice(Since Re-gi-rock and Re-gi-steel, I thought it was the same)

    Umm... I'm pretty sure all of these are correct.

    Ponyta - Pow-nee-tah (emphasis on the nee part)
    Magikarp - Ma-gih-karp
    Gyarados - Jee-ara-doss
    Geodude - ???dude (the geo part threw me entirely, I hadn't a clue how to say it)
    Lugia - Loo-jee-ah

    As you can see I struggled with the pronunciations.

    I find this thread interesting! (don't come to these parts often enough)

    Well, even mild Dyslexia would throw off even an easier name. I'm comfortable with how I say 'em, and most that roll off my tongue are pretty darn close to the universal fandom.

    Except, Gardevoir that is. Most trouble there but then I heard one (a female one?) pronounce itself on the English "Super Smash Bros. Brawl" and I said "Close enough." with shoulders shrugged. I'm aware that you can have Japanese audio & text on SSBB but I just want to get to the violence right away. 8-)

    Anyway, one should never pronounce the fully mature form of Ralts with a 'Garden' (of Good and Evil) sound in it. And what really helps me even try to say it is thinking of a type of furniture that I can't spell similar to the pokemon. My mom has this furniture. It starts with a 'arm--' something.

    I still pronounce it this way and will not let anyone change that.

    I have always pronounced Kyogre as ky-gore (I assume it's meant to be ky-o-gerr).
    Is the "c" in Sceptile pronounced or not? I've always said "Skeptile" instead of "Septile"
    And Metagross - is the "gross" pronounced "gr-oss" or "gro-ss"
    I don't watch the anime so I'm probably mispronouncing Tepig too. (Is it "teh-pig"?)

    I thought Sableye was Sabe-lee-ay. I watched an episode of the Anime and was surprised to learn it was Say-bul-eye.

    For me I would say Ky-gore instead of Kyogre and that was becuase I didn't pay that much attention when I first saw its name.

    Kyogre: Kwoy-Gr. Don't know why, I still call it that sometimes.
    Groudon: Grew-Don. I saw Jirachi Wish Maker, started saying it right. But I still occasionally call it Grewdon.

    Those are the main two. I think there are others, but I can't remember if I'm right or not.

    Right off of the top of my head all I can think of it Chimecho which I thought was Chime-cho. Also I though Kyogre was Kie-Oh-Gree.

    I did, and do, and always will, pronounce Kyogre as "KYO-ger", no matter what people say to me, and how much I'm nya-nya'd at.

    Only ones I pronounced wrong were Rayquaza (ray-KWAH-za) and Chimecho (CHIM-eh-cho, which is weird).

    The future surrounds us.

    Let us begin.

    As a little kid, I used to call Starmie "Stonie", 'cause at the time I saw "Bye Bye Butterfree", I was quite young, and tried emulating the way Misty called out her Starmie (that's how it came out from her when I heard it)
    And I pronounce Ponyta as pony-Tah, while I hear others say po-Nee-dah
