I have a question and I don't know if it should go here or in its own post.
As I'm entirely new to the Poke-universe -- and 58 years old and childless -- this game is my very first exposure to everything except Pikachu.
I'm stumbling over pronunciations. Is there a definitive guide? I found this webpage but I'm having a very hard time believing that some of these are correct.
Gyrados is my biggest puzzler. My brain wants to make it jer-RAH-dose or JYE-rah-dose or JEER-uh-dose. But the above linked web page says it's GAR-i-dose and that flat out makes my brain hurt.
And Ponyta is supposed to be poh-NEE-tah? Seriously? *blinks*
Anyone else have trouble with this? Input? Opinions? Rants?
