Pokémon Name Pronunciations

[@blueberrycrepes]

It's like learning English as a second language.

[@JaelinBezel]

Except English has way more than just 800 different words. And combined with an accent there's a good chance the native speaker you're talking to will still not have any idea what it is that you just said.

[@YoramvdDoel]

Cody Hines SAVAGE.....

[@JaelinBezel]

purple demon I work at a farm supply store in the midwest and on occasion I have to service native english speakers who I cannot understand a goddamn word out of. Despite being in Mid-Missouri, I've also seen men with thick chinese and russian accents whom I've had better luck understanding (okay I didn't really understand what the Chinese guy was SAYING but I still understood what he meant pretty quickly because he was right in front of me, not over some phone line). More than once I've interacted with this one man who I swear to god has a stereotypical Canadian accent; as well as looking like a stereotypical Canadian being tall with dark scruffy hair, a short jawline beard, and usually wearing a flannel shirt. (all he was missing was an axe, a stocking cap, a bottle of syrup, and a habit of saying "Eh?" at the end of every other sentence I'm serious here) When I was putting his address into the computer I thought "Soovin" was the street name, but I've since come to learn that's just how he says "Seven". When I asked him about it, he said he and his family are from Germany! *throws up hands to signify giving up*

The “Kou” in Raikou is pronounced “Koh” because it has to do with Japanese pronunciation. The “u” extends the “o” sound in Japanese when put next to each other (こう). Raikou retains its Japanese name in English and that’s why it’s pronounced “Rai-KOH.” Hope that clarifies and helps :))

[@irelandnorthern7617]

[@AnshulRaman]

I don't think you used the right kanji. Raikou's kanji is electric and light which put together means ligthning.

[@boxiannn]

Jonathan Miller Music for me, I do pronounce Raikou as "Rai-Ko", because there is a Chinese word "kou - 口", meaning mouth. So I went with that

[@melanniecown7675]

Yeah that's true, I've always pronounced it Ry-Koo but I do know that its Ry-Koh because the japanese characters are pronounced Koh-Ooh so technically itd be Ry-Koh-Ooh but since it's an English localization of the name it's just Ry-Koh like you said

I only goofed Mienfoo/shao and Ferrothorn, because those pronunciations make no sense, especially the latter considering what its name comes from (iron is Fe on the periodic table because of its Latin name, which is where we also get "ferrous" [fair-us]. Naturally, I would think to combine the pieces for Ferrothorn into Ferro and Thorn, giving you either "Fair-uh-thorn" or "fair-oh-thorn". Never in my most twisted nightmares would I see "feh-raw-thorn" as the right way to pronounce that name.

[@bluevoker6455]

Someone probably mentioned this already, but Raikou is pronounced Rai-Co because it's a Japanese name (and well, pokemon is Japanese) A is ALWAYS pronounced like "Ah" in Japanese. I is ALWAYS pronounced like "ee" in Japanese, thus where the "I" sound comes from, Ah-ee sounds like I, so.. Rah + ee = Rai. Okay, now kou, O is ALWAYS pronounced like "oh" in Japanese, and u is usually silent and typically just elongates the "oh" sound, since u always makes an "oo" sound, oh-oo is.. Very hard to say, try it yourself, you kind of have to pause between oh and oo, and then the R is technically pronounced wrong, since Japanese has weird "R"s, but you can look that up for yourself.

[@bluevoker6455]

and Draco Meteor? Dragon, simple as that, the "Dra" is pronounced the same way.

[@Bincle]

It really bothers me that Entei and Raikou have Japanese spelling but Suicune doesn't

[@Bincle]

Also pronouncing the Japanese R kind of interrupts the flow of speaking in English so I still pronounce it like I would any other R

[@bluevoker6455]

***** In my opinion you can easily do a Japanese R with it still flowing in a sentence, but the English R is much more comfortable, I'll agree with that.

[@mrmuffin3692]

Yeah that´s the right explanation for the name, I´m german so it´s a lot easier to know where the pronunciations come from, because german pronunciation works almost the same way you mentioned with the japanese ones :D So for example "Mean-shao" is very obvious for a german speaker, because you would pronounce "Mien" like "Mean" because in german "ie" is just a long english "e".

The sad part is, since posting this comment, I found out that "Ar-kay-us" is correct. Officially. I hate my life. I still say the name should have been spelled differently in English, though.

[@campbellsoup93]

Arceus is a portmanteau of two Latin words. Those words being "Archetypus" meaning origin, and "Deus" meaning God (make sense right? Since it is the progenitor of all Pokemon, and it's the God of the Pokemon universe). The arch part of "Archetypus" is pronounced like ark. And "Deus" is pronounced Day-us.This makes the ONLY correct pronunciation of the word AR-KAY-US. Getit? Gotit? Good!

[@theillusionist1494]

campbellsoup93 Yeah, I’ve caved since I made this comment. That wasn’t even what convinced me. It was Silvally, actually. Y’know, the poor man’s Arceus. With its signature ability: RKS system. RKS. R-K-S. Ar-Kay-Us.

[@FlexFan-fp8qg]

Archen kind of like archaeopteryx

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Well seeing as the anime has real world accents, I the pronounciations should be too. Like the English word lieutenant which is pronounced ''left-tenant'' in European English. In which case Mantine would be Man-Tine in England and its former colonies and commonwealths, and Man-Teen in America and Canada. The non English speaking nations, those which keep the American Pokémon names, would then use the pronounciation according to which form of English is taught at school. Here in Denmark we're taught proper English, hence the correct pronounciation for me would be Man-Tine.

[@HerrMisterTheo]

It has little to do with accents and more to do with what the name derives from. It's MANTa ( as in "manta ray") and marINE (as in "marine life"). Nobody would pronounce "marine" in a way that would rhyme with "mine", so that's why "Mantine" should more or less rhyme with "marine".

[@beta511ee4]

HerrMisterTheo A possible origin for Mantine's name is also "brine". Another possible origin is "Tyne", as in the River Tyne in England. Both are pronounced with a long i sound.

[@JaelinBezel]

I just thought "Left-tenant" was a equal but distinct rank from "lieutenant"

[@truegreen7]

While this is really old and all in good fun, so there is know reason to critique, a majority of these names have reasonable pronunciations when you understand their origins. Mantine is a combination of Manta and Marine, so of course it would be pronounced that way. You also seem to struggle with the difference between pronunciation and inflection. Some of the names, like Unown, you were pronouncing correctly, but the 3D Pokedex app just had different inflection. He even changes his inflection for other Unown forms and "pronounces" it the way you do. I'm sure they were just glossed over for the sake of comedy so it's justified. I just don't want people to think that the pronunciations make no sense. (And I know you corrected this in your second video)

Meanfoo meanshao meanfoo meanshao meanfoo meanshao JOHN CENA XD

[@vitorborges4666]

I've always said Unown that way because it seems like they're derived from "unknown", so the pronounciation kinda makes sense in that regard

[@larry8293]

If you’ve watched the legend of thunder you will know that raikou is said like rai-kou not the other way

[@peanutfish94]

Mr Onion Not even with that. If you break it down you get rai kou and that's easy enough to pronounce. Hell, I didn't even know that "Legend of Thunder" was a thing until I read your comment.

[@chalkwarrior5542]

I find it so freaking hilarious that the Pokedex app said "Unown" so happily.

[@MayAwesome]

The Pokedex is so proud and gleeful to say Un-Own. It takes pride in breaking Aura's soul

I feel like sigilyph’s proper pronunciation is kind of obvious since it’s name is a mixture of sigil and glyph, sigil having a soft g.

[@Taiki_Kago_X]

May Arceus bless you and make more videos that only his name you pronounced right even before the Pokédex 3D Pro's released :)

[@emilieholmberg1581]

I believe that many of the pokemon names pronunciation is based of the origin of the name Mantine is a combination of manta, marine and brine

[@TornadoCreator]

Most of these pronunciations you can get by knowing the foundations of the language. For example Raikou is unchanged from Japanese, where each syllable has a set sound and spelling in "romaji", a way or writing Japanese using western alphabets. So 'raikou' is actually the Japanese word. ra-i-ko-u. or らいこう。There's an indication in most names, usually based on Japanese, French, Latin or Greek roots. I'm pretty confident I pronounce the name correctly. I'd also be willing to outright call bullshit on their pronunciation of 'Tropius', but it's not worth going into detail. Interesting video all the same though.

[@Wolfluna091]

I always said "Unown" as "Unknown"

[@flowtr2]

Actually, meantime makes more sense since its baby form is mantyke, which is an alternate word for child, so man-teen makes sense, as it evolves from child to teen. Maybe, they will have a manadolescent or something, but that's be stupid.

[@frxctur-robloxcontentperso3975]

It’s funny how arceus has ce in it which ce makes a s instead of a k or normal c sound, instead arceus just completely ignores that rule and just makes a k or normal c sound anyways.

[@StardustFlare]

I believe that before the Sinnoh anime the Pokémon anime was dubbed by 4kids but the Pokémon company heard the mispronounced names and started to dub it themselves. They changed some names over time either because they didn't sound right or because it sounded like something else. Such as Arceus. It's name was pronounced Ar-see-us until the Pokémon company changed it due to what it sounded like. I can't remember where they call it this but it sounds like a certain places word for BUTT.

[@commiku5603]

I have explanations for 2 of these. Arceus used to be pronounced ar-sey-us, based on the Latin pronunciation of "deus", but they renamed it because it sounded too much like English slang far "arse" as the series became more popular in the west. Raikou is one of the pokemon that is spelled and pronounced exactly as in Japanese, and in Japanese, the characters that make up ra-i-ko-u always are read as "ry-ko".

[@IShy2]

You're wrong It's Arkoos

[@conorferguson6073]

@@IShy2 Didn't MandJTV say in a video that he acknowledges that he pronounces Arceus' name wrong and only continues doing it because of the fanbase?

[@IShy2]

Yes but that this point nobody cares about the normal pronunciation anymore

[@TacticalOkuu]

Oh, huh, literally everyone I knew back in the days and even now called it Ray-Quaw-Za. My life has been a lie.

i follow the rule of syllables. Nine times outa ten a syllable starts on the consonant. It also helps to think about the root words.

The way to pokemon pronunciations is that it's not the way you first thought it was.

[@ArunaUtd]

Rai comes from the Japanese Raikiri so it's obvious why it isn't pronounced as ray. And you can only make a ko こ kana longer (in Japanese) by adding the u う kana. TMYK Source: Uni

[@shpageltheduck6098]

It doesn't come from raikiri like what????? I'm pretty sure that means lightning BLADE it just comes from RAI itself (lightning) which is why RAIkou is electric
