Here some of the gen 1 Pokémon I usually pronounce wrong: - Rah-ta-ta (Rattata) - I also often misspell its name as Ratatta.. Also, even if I would have gotten the t’s correct, I’d likely still pronounce it wrong, since I pronounce the ‘rat’ part Dutch instead of English (rat in English is pronounced rather similar to the color red) - Reh-ti-gate (Raticate) - (‘g’ instead of ‘c’) although only if I speak its name fast - Paris (Paras) - Dig-le-di (Diglett) - Ok, this one I do know how to pronounce, but it’s just more fun to say it like [this](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ie7m88w4JaE) (the old one - that new one sounds f-ed up 🤣 ) - Me-ouf (Meowth), where the ‘ou’ is pronounced similar as in ‘house’ - Although I can pronounce ‘meow’ correctly, it takes too much effort that way, so I usually just say ‘me-ou’, and the ‘th’ adds an ‘f’ in this case - Pry-mape - instead of literally how you spell it: prime ape 🙄 - Abra, Kadabra - I pronounce both of these Dutch instead of English, even though I do pronounce Alakazam the English way 😅 Just click on the listen icon for [the Dutch word ‘abracadabra’ in Google translate](https://translate.google.com/?sl=nl&tl=en&text=abracadabra&op=translate) to hear (a robotic version of..) the Dutch pronunciation - Weeping bell - instead of Weep in bell - Tenta kwool (Tentacruel) - I almost pronounce it exactly the same as Tentacool, but with an added ‘w’ (instead of intended ‘r’..) - Geh-reh-dos (Gyarados) - Almost correct I guess. Although it should be more like Gy’eh-ra-dos 🤷 Also, my username is pronounced ‘kwu-ah-dor’ (and spelled with two U’s and one A!). 🙄 Greetz, Quuador ---

I have always used “Toe-Jep-Pii” even though there is a “correct” way to express it. As a result, my partner used my terminology with a serious collector who just went very silent. ---

Anyone like to pronounce Pokemon names based on how their cries sound in the games? Seadra = See-doo (based on its cry in Pokemon Stadium) Kingdra = Cackle-dra (based on its cry in the mainline games) ---

Phanpy. My whole life it has been Phanphy. So instead of pronouncing like Fan-p it was Fan-fay and to be honest, even Pokemon got it wrong too ![IMG_6008](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/f/e/fed13abfa15b80e1a2dd9163dc818206f0c2650d.jpeg) ---
