no, again english is not my first language so, while not having any authority for that matter, it's also quite possibile I didn't express myself clearly

"pokèmon" is a portmanteau of two english words; as such, its pronunciation ought to be based on that of those two words, at least until language evolution works its wonders

One would think so, but the Japanese made it and they pronounce vowels their way.

Listening to this catchy song. Then put the "Po", "Ke", "Mo" and "n" sounds together. That's how you pronounce Pokemon.

We've had several threads like this recently. I'll tell you all how it is very explicitly, but feel free to ignore this post like you always do.

Pokémon is a Japanese-style abbreviation. They take the first part of the words and jam them together. Another example in the same vein is pasokon which is "personal computer" abbreviated in the same sort of way.

In kana, it's written ポケモン. It's actually a four syllable word, because each japanese "letter" denotes a syllable of equal length to all the others. poh (long "O") - keh (short "E") - mo (long "O" always) - n.

You combine the sounds together in the obvious way, except that the "n" at the end of a word becomes nasal. You should say this "n" as though imitating someone with a french accent. Say the "mon" in pokémon like you would say the "mon" in "mon amie."
