(for the record, “the man” was referring to regice, not ash 😤) the japanese name is **レジアイス** which is said as “re-ji-ai-su.” In English, it would look weird to put a double “i,” but I think it makes more sense that it would be said similarly to the Japanese pronunciation, which would also make it align with the “Regi-” naming scheme of the other two + Gigas. This is why my boy will always be Regi-ice in my heart ---

Those Regi Pokemon cries are so weird (mostly Regirock and Registeel). Someone must’ve been having fun mashing together these sound effects and calling them Pokemon cries 😂 ---

Generally when I try to figure out what the pronunciation of a Pokemon’s name is I look to see if the Japanese name is the same and pronounce it that way. But then I look at examples like Rayquaza which I’m 95% sure it’s pronounced Ray - koo - za in Japanese and reconsider my choice lol I will 100% stand with you on Regi-Ice ---
