Pokemon pronunciations Q&A

[The name master]

Is there something in pokemon you don't know how to pronounce? You can ask about it and get an awnser.

How do you pronounce Xatu??? I've been wondering for a while!

[Captain Jigglypuff]

It's Zaah-too. Plenty of sources have pronounced it that way. It's one of the least disputed Pokémon names out there. Rayquaza and Arceus are two of the worst ones to try and figure out how their names are pronounced. Rayquaza has three versions and Arceus I think has up to six different ones.

[The Hooded Trainer]

Suicunes always confused me. I dont remember how they pronounced it in the anime, but i seem to remember it being different than the way i pronounce it.

[The name master]

Rayquaza = Ray-Kway-Za

Arceus = Ark-ee-us

Suicune = swee-coon?

^that's how the anime pronounces it!

[The Hooded Trainer]

Yeah, i usually pronounce them soo-wee-coon, ray-kwa-za and ark-ay-uss, so im probably horribly wrong on all three accounts. Then again, i wouldnt really call the anime the "official" pronunciations.

[sylar]

[The name master]

Something I've been wondering for a few days. How do you pronounce pseudo (as in pseudo legendary)

[The Hooded Trainer]

The ps silent, so its "soo-do".

[Shaymin]
