Pronunciation Speculation

So, who wants to guess how bad they'll rape English pronunciations in the anime?

I'm guessing Kalos will be either "CALL-oce" or "KAL-us".
Helioptile will be "hell-YOP-tile"
Gogoat will be "G'GOAT"
Talonflame will be "tull-ON-flame"
Malamar will be "mall-lum-MAR"
Pangoro will be "pan-guh-ROW"
Any other ideas?

Have you even seen the E3 Pokemon X&Y trailer?

They pronounced Kalos the exact way any non-autistic person would.

And "pan-guh-ROW" sounds like the exact fucking way every other youtuber pronounces it.

They've already said Talonflame and Kalos pronunciations. It's Tal-uhn-flame and Kal-ohs.

How the fuck do you get Tull-ON from Talon. Or either of the Kalos pronunciations. Say Helio outloud. Heliop-tile. GoGoat is literally Go-Goat,
Malamar is Mal-a-mar. Pangoro being Pan-goro. Just sounds the words out I don't understand how you got any of those.

Poke-E-mon and Poke-EH-mon are the only correct ways to pronounce it. Unless Pokemon was used as a Japanese title first (Which I don't think is the case). In that case, only that second pronunciation is correct.

Except the anime has always said all Pokémon names correctly 99% of the time. It's been the go-to source for official pronunciation for years.

The only instance I can think of when the anime pronounced something incorrectly was how they said "Pidgeotto" and "Pidgeot" -- namely, the official pronunciations were Pidge-oh-toe and Pidge-it, but the anime said them as Pidge-e-oh-toe and Pidge-e-ott, which sounded better and were officially adopted as the correct pronunciations years later, as evidenced by how they're said in Pokédex 3D.

That's wrong, though. Also being the only thing around doesn't make it the official guide to pronunciation.

Besides the fact you can't trust Americans for pronunciation.
