I know this might sound weird but does anyone else like the way the word Pokemon is said and how it rolls off the tongue?

I think Pokémon sounds a little too childhish. Say it once every now and again it sounds nice but say it a lot and it just loses its sheen.
The logo looks pretty kiddy too

I hate saying it because its a pretty annoying word. I particularly hate they "Kay" part in the middle. I agree with the anon about the logo as well.

Of course the logo and name are childish, it is for kids.
I think it sounds better than Capsule or Pocket Monsters.

...maybe because the target audience for the whole franchise is children?

I hate the English version's need to "accent" e. Why can't Westerners into short vowels?

In France maybe but in Spain and Hungary it's an 'eh'.
And since the latter's language origin is in Mongolia, I'll take that one.
