A correct pronounciation-dex

Question

The reason im suggesting this is because I get confused with pronouncing a Pokémon's name it's not that I can't read im an excellent reader its just that some of these Pokémons names are strange and I find it a bit difficult. Leave a comment if you think this is a good idea.

This would be highly difficult, since it requires the anime and watching all episodes of the anime.

---

You could always have the phonetic spelling in brackets next to the actual name.

---

Or, instead of watching every anime episode, you could just look up the appearances of Pokemon who's pronunciation we're unsure of.

---

Already suggested and denied.

---

Not sure why this is hated on, I quite like to idea, although it would be difficult.

---

This has been suggested by me already.

Answer 1

This was already asked here. It's a good idea, I'll get round to it at some point. Perhaps this could be another thing the community helps with?

^^^^ I could finally Contribute :D

I dropped out on the last contribution ;-; so I'll definitely help with this one!!

Okay, son. But you gotta be thorough this time! The United States Marines take no quitters!

---

Just curious, Pokemaster, I believe a different question suggested this and was denied because some Pokemon may have controversy to their names?

---

I don't think this is really that necessary because they have name origins. Isn't that enough to know how to pronounce it?

---

This is actually possible. In all the Pokemon Handbooks they actually note the correct pronunciation. That's if they are official though - it's not made by the actual Pokemon people. o.o

We would need a better source then the anime though since the anime has also made some mistakes, for example in Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Arceus is pronounced as Ar-see-us meanwhile it was officially confirmed as Ar-kee-us.
