    Your poll choices are a little off, I doubt anyone pronounces pokemon as 'Pokekaymon' (duplicated K).
     
    The correct way is like "Poe-keh-mon". It's 'keh', not 'kay'. I do that as I talk Spanish.
     
    I don't pronounce it the correct way. It makes me sound like a weeaboo. I just think it sounds better to pronounce the "é" as "ee."
     
    Although it's probably phonetically pronounced with an "eh" in the middle, I just go ahead and use "Po-kuh-mon" (or, well, the third option in the poll). I blame this thoroughly on the fact that Ash pronounced it like this often in the first season, if I recall correctly. Or he did in the episodes I watched over and over again.

    That's how i pronounce it.
    But i enjoy saying Pocket Monsters xP
     
    I say Poe-Kuh-Mon. I sound stupid if I say Poe-Kay-Mon and its waay too much effort to say
     
    Poke-uh-mon

    Then again every british Pokemon fanatic I've met always says it like that too so, maybe all us brits fall under that one :)
     
    I pronounce it as they do in the anime. I've always pronounced it that way, even before I watched it.

    It's poke from pocket and mon from monsters.
     
    The correct way is like "Poe-keh-mon". It's 'keh', not 'kay'. I do that as I talk Spanish.
    I say it like this too, probably for the same reasons. Think the baby alphabet. :p
    And I find the "Poke-ee-mon" pronunciation the most obnoxious thing ever.
     
    I say Poke-uh-mon. It's just easier to say and there's not as many stressed vowels. You can just slide it off the tongue. It's how they say it in the anime too, right?
     
    In Spanish i pronounce it Poh-keh mon. in inglish it's pou-keh-mon

    Just my ways.
