Somehow, I managed to get Suicune wrong. I fixed it, but...

Real pronunciation: swee-coon

My old pronunciation: sue-seen

I used to always call Raichu Ray-uh-choo instead of Rai-choo, I was 5 or 6, then I watched the pokemon episode where Ash goes against Lt. Surge and I went into denial. I'm out of denial now and call it by the (probably) correct pronunciation.

The anime shocked me with this:
Me until that point: I-loo-maice
Official: I-loo-mee-zay

Lugia, with a soft g, like loo-jee-a. Which is wrong because on all accounst, Lugia comes from various latin names (no soft Gs or Cs in latin). On the other hand, that would mean pronouncing Celebi as Ke-le-bee, so maybe there aren't any real rules to it.

I don't think any of the Pokemon names follow any sort of language rules, since they come from so many different languages; English, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, the list goes on.

I always pronounce Rayquaza as Ray-qaa-zaa. Only after watching Destiny Deoxys did I know the actual pronunciation : Ray-qua (from the word "quake")-za.

._. is there a proper pronunciation unless a company designates one? Who handles the current dub anyway? Do we consider that official now? For the record, if it's blatantly wrong, then yeah - you ought to correct it. I think I had some trouble with PF's Pokemon like Nutreed which I'd always pronounce Nut Reed like it's spelled rather than Newt reed like it's meant.

I had some pronunciation issues with Demons in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, but that's mostly stuff like Cerberus actually supposed to be pronounced Kerberos and English people derping around. Nyarlathotep (damn Lovecraft - sorry Culth-) was always tough on me >.

I slipped up on Illumise too but I figured out the "correct" pronunciation from a toy Pokedex. I did used to say Groudon as GROO-don instead of GRAOW-don for some reason.

Dont ask why, but I always thought that Sceptile was pronounced Scept-IAL (I was eight at the time) but then I discovered it was scept-ILE

Nutreed is one of the few pokémon which speaking a different language helped me get the correct pronunciation.

I also used to think Latios (LAH-tee-os) and Latias (LAH-tee-ahs) were pronounced LAY-shos and LAY-shus. Because "ti" can be pronounced "sh". >>

A general rule with Pokemon. Legendaries after generation one have their japanese names. Look at the romaji for the legendaries and you have their pronunciation. Everything else, irritatingly is fair game.

I have recently found that Minccino (according to the anime) is min-see-no as opposed to min-chi-no.

^ WHAT.
That doesn't make sense. The name was supposed to have "chino" (a kind of cloth apparently) which was changed to double c's during localization. I guess we can't fully trust the dub with pronunciations then. (I'm pretty sure Illumise's still correct though since it didn't deviate that much from the japanese name and there was little room for mispronunciation)
