How do you pronounce "Pokémon", anyway?

Hey, I just found something out: you English-speakers never prounounce a final e, right? :D
Then it's highly possible that the mark is just there to stress that you should say "Poke-E-mon", rather than "Poke-mon".

In Sweden "poke" would sound like ['poke], and "poké" would sound like [po'ke:].
