One thing that gets me
Is pronunciation of pokemon names
Pronouncing them wrong and then hearing it weird in the anime or by somebody else

So how do you pronounce some of the new pokemon?

Example, I pronounce Helioptile as
HELL-E-OPTILE
But I've heard that's not right....

When would you EVER have to say a Pokemon's name?

I pronounce it however I want because none of my friends really play Pokemon and if they do, they understand the idea Im conveying despite it not being the way its normally pronounced.
As for helioptile I just go with HEEL-LEE-O-TILE

just because its easier for me to pronounce quickly without thinking too much, although I know its wrong.

There's a pronunciation guide as well as an aural example. Helio- as in sun.

Correct.
>>14337830
Correct.
I'm not sure about that last one though but if it's Amaura, just try saying Aurora, and just say it like that but with an M instead of a R for the first R sound.

When discussing it with someone in real life?

Something that non-autists do.

There is no right or wrong way to pronounce Suicune.

They are all valid because they are all completely ridiculous.
