So it seems she is in agreement with me (and in disagreement with everyone else in this thread): it's as its pronounced in the Pokémon S1 theme song. Poh-kay-mon. |
From what I'm hearing, she's pronouncing it poh-KEH-mo-n (with being more of a [ng], or even further back).
So in IPA it's po-KE-mo-ɴ, with rising pitch on KE, so Pokémoɴ, or simplified to what we're accustomed to, Pokémon.
(I tend to accent it as POH-keh-mon, which is exactly what she said is a first mistake).
