    Hey, I just found something out: you English-speakers never prounounce a final e, right?
    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.

    Well they say the word plenty of times in the show don't they? So just watch it and you'll find out how to say it.

    I pronounce it "Pokey-mon". Pokey-mon. With the Pokey and the man, and the thing where the guy comes out of the thing, and he...

    Wow, look at all the fire and the brimstone, and the red guy with the pitchfork...

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