why does nobody account for the emphasized syllable when trying to explain pronunciation?

the way I've heard it there are 3 ways to pronounce Pokemon
>PO-kay-mon
>PO-kuh-mon (the most common)
>PO-kee-mon

and 3 ways to say Machop
>Muh-CHOP (the most common)
>MATCH-op
>MAH-chop

It's closest to a "kay" sound so that's how most English speakers say it. Not exactly the same, but close enough for a kid to pronounce correctly.

>>12956225 was making fun of people who pronounce it "Pokaymon" by writing "Pokaymon" in katakana, which is not how Pokemon is spelled in Japanese. As I said before, it's ポケモン (pokemon), not ポケイモン (pokeimon), so it's pronounced po-keh-mon, though honestly they sound almost the same to me.

That's how it should be pronounced. If Nintendo decided to spell it as Pockemon instead of Pokémon there would be no confusion over the pronunciation, but they wanted to distance themselves from "Pocket Monster" as much as they could.

Quoted By: >>12956760

Pokemon (with the accent over the e) is a combination of pokketo and monsuta. Both of these are loan words, meaning they were created for the Japanese language from approximation of a word from another language. Though they are based on English words, they are still Japanese.

The English spelling of Pokemon needed to represent the pronunciation found in the Japanese form of the word, so an accent was added over the e to create the same sound.

In English, it is "po-kay-mon."

Interestingly, the second O is not pronounced the same, as the o in Japanese is pronounced like the first o in Pokemon. In order to keep the idea of "Pocket Monsters" the pronunciation in English is like "monster."

Without the accent, the sounds aren't the same. With the accent, they become similar.

I'm not sure of the exact spelling of Pokemon in Japanese, yet. An "e" by itself is pronounced like the "e" in pen.

Maybe they are different sounds. I haven't researched too much. I've only started on vowels in Hiragana. I've been reviewing a lot of pronunciation, though.

They should indeed sound the same. But it's not po-kay-mon, it's po-keh-mon.
Really the same as Flabébé.

To read "po-kay-mon" in Japanese, it would have to be written as pokeimon, like some other anons already even made jokes about.

I'm still unsure as to why would people come to the conclusion it's said "po-kay-mon" in English. Makes no sense to me.
It's true my main language is actually Portuguese, but still... no sense at all.
