After re-watching Friday's episode of the Tonight Show, I just noticed Miley Cyrus called Hello Kitty the girl equivalence to Pokeman.
Which brings up my question...do people around you call it Pokeman too? My dad does, my mom doesn't (she plays the games).
Does it annoy you? I for one am, much like rowt vs. root. Awnt vs. ant.
I say Pokemans, but that's from spending too much time online.
I've always said it as Poke-a-mon, but that's mainly because it's easier to pronounce than Pok-eh-mon.
poh-keh-mohn
That's how it's supposed to be pronounced so that's how I pronounce it.

I'm with Nayr. It isn't hard to say it right :\
I say it the correct way... POK-E'-MON
Poh-Key-Mon
I say it Poh-kee-mon.
I say POKE-ay-mon.
My grandpa always called it "Pokemans." It didn't really bother me, geezers can't be expected to understand pop culture.
POH-KEE-MON
As a kid my dad would always say Pokeman, just to tick me off. I'd always get mad at him for it. :P
My Grandma says it like that. Yeah, it's a little annoying.

POH-KEE-MON
This is how I say it.
I say it poke-uh-mahn. It annoys me when people say it like poke-ee-man.

You get less scornful looks from some people when you say it that way.

That is quite true.
My steptdad used to do it on purpose to make fun of me. ;_;
But that was years ago...
I still play it though. >:(
I say it as it is meant to be said, and it does annoy me when people say it wrong; however, if it is a truly accidentally mispronunciation, I usually laugh.
It depends. If we're talking about the series or multiple pokemon, I say "POH-KAY-MON".
If I'm talking about a singular pokemon, I say "POHK-UH-MON".
Po-keh-mon. I dunno why D:
