Pokémon Week 2018 is here!

Yeah.. I didn't wanna point it out since it seemed obvious though

hey, I know this is an animal crossing forum, and as such runs more weebish than plenty of other communities, but even then I'm not sure how many people here understand japanese phonetics rules

wait what people pronounce "pok?" as "poke" (like, poking someone in the side etc.)????

I knew multiple people in middle school who pronounced it "poke-uh-mon." |: They insisted I was the one pronouncing it wrong.

it'd be more on people pronouncing the "fa" in fake as "fey" instead of "fah"

and I mean pok?mon is easy for getting the pronunciation right, as everything pretty coincidentally lines up well for japanese phonetics. with only the "e" in "ke" being an issue, hence why it's accented. since otherwise it would just very understandably look like the first half was just that prodding word


though there's still been plenty of people that pronounce it like "poke", so go figure


and as a reference for anyone unaware, japanese vowel pronunciation:
a=ah
i=(t)ee
u=(t)oo
e=(h)ey
o=oh

I seriously thought it was some play with actual **** pronunciation lol (dirty mind I know) so yeah they should have just written Fake-mon rather than Fak?mon lol.

That was the deadline, I think they need some extra days to actually draw the raffles and such? :3

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

I woke up twice, once at midnight and once at 7:00 to see if the winners had been announced. Both times I was disappointed and went back to sleep lol.

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

Yeah but we still haven’t got the moon ball or love ball.

 

[You got mail!]

Maybe they?re looking at me
