I've realised people pronounce "Pokemon" differently depending on where the are from. Share your general area and how you pronounce "Pokemon". I'll start.

I'm from the Midwest and I pronounce it "Poe kah mahn"

The first one is correct, not the second. In all media it's pronounced like that in English. There's a reason why literally everybody says it like that. The ones that don't are the ones who are wrong. Like the people who mispronounce Mario despite him or peach very clearly saying his name.

Po-kuh-mon or Po-key-mon

The correct pronunciation is Po-kay-mon because of the accented e but I don't have time for that.
