Because PAWK EH MON sounds strange. Don't care. Never saying it like that, just forming the "correct" way of saying it with my lips feels blasphemous.

Because people are stupid.

That's the universal answer for everything, so remember it before asking.

Nips don't have a short O, so pocket is "poh-ket"
Then the western release happened and since baby boomer parents don't watch cartoons made by Charlie, they read what was in front of them. Aka Poke-ee-mon

The advert for Charlie Brooker's 2016wipe had him pronounce it "Pock-é-mon". The first time I've ever heard anyone pronounce it that way and I realised that's technically correct.

I couldn't believe I was saying then wrong all these years. GRAU-don like ground, KAI-oh-ger. Both of them roll off the tongue horribly, though.

GREW-don and Kee-oger sound and feel much less awkward.

God fucking damn it. The Latin American Dub which was the one which I've grown with literally killed most of these pronunciations.
