According to that mark, it's obviously supposed to be pronounced "Pokeemon", but that sounds pretty stupid.
Everyone in my hometown says "Pokkemon", which means it should've been spelt like "Pókemon".
Personally I always say ['pokemon] as well, but the spelling contradicts that. :confused:
poke-e-mon
The correct pronunciation is "po-kay-mon."

It is supposed to be Poe-kay-mon. I say Poe-kuh-mon, though.

This is how it's pronounced. The symbol above the e makes it a hard a sound.Quote:

Poe-ker-mon

Probably because I accidently focused too much on Swedish pronounciations. XDQuote:

The theme song clearly says: POKE AY MON
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:].
Agreed, and that's how I've always pronounced it other then calling them Pocket Monsters.Quote:

Seriously, though, I do believe it's "Po-kay-mon".
