there should be a little speaker icon, you can click it to hear. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem all have the same name in every language and Japanese is phonetic so we know how to pronounce it (not trying to be rude or condescending, just letting you know)

I'm not english speaking, I had some time to figure how to write them the way I say. There's probablu more, but they are the one I can remember now, mostly because I'm used to read them in my language.

I'm used to put an "o" in the end of Bulbasaur line too.

I think it's because 1) American pronounciation is weird and 2) "geo" as in "earth". I was always pretty sure they chose Giovanni because Italian mobster + earth reference

That's what I thought too but look it up. It's pronounced Hi-Dragon. The official 3d pokedex says so and I've heard it in the anime like that too. I've gotten into several arguments with a friend of mine who first told me it and even still I argue with him when he brings it up. It is drei like in German but paired with -gon at the end makes it sound like dragon.

Skip to 29:30 (basically the end) and tell me what you hear. This app has a lot of god awful pronounciations (like Ferroseed and Ferrothorn) but it says "high-dry-gun"

My point exactly. The Pokémon let out a long "dryyyyyy" sound and the Pokédex said "high-dry-gun". What point are you trying to make, that you're hard of hearing?

Arceus have the same Japanese and English names, but the English anime director changed it's pronunciation to Ar--KEY-us because Arce sounds like Arse. How does think make you feel?

It's saying Hi-Dry-gin like how you'd pronounce gon in dragon. It's not exactly Hi-dragon but it's close enough to sound like it and I think that's what they tried to do with how Gamefreak will shove as many puns as possible into a single name. I get that it's drei but paired with gon makes a similar sound to dragon.

Ohhh I thought you were saying it's pronounced "dra" instead of "dry". Apologies.
Anyway, I get that the "gon" in Hydreigon comes from dragon but I still think it sounds more reasonable to pronounced like Bagon (bae-gone). But I see what you're saying. To me, it's like how we pronounce the "toise" in Blastoise NOTHING like how it is in "tortoise". Parts of a word taken out of context can be pronounced differently

Oh yeah, how are you even supposed to pronounce "Raikou"? I assume Raiko, because sometimes the japanese long -o sound gets romanized as -ou, so I'm guessing that's what's happening here too?
