    How do you pronounce "Pokémon", anyway?

    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.

    I have no idea what the choices are supposed to sound like.

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

    The proper pronounciation is POE-KEY-MANS, as in "LET ME SHOW YOU MY POE-KEY-MANS."

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