During the first episode of the series, everyone pronounced Pokémon as ''Poke-uh-mon''. Its only proper pronunciation was during the title.
During the early part of season one of the English dub, all of the characters pronounced Pokémon as ''Poke-uh-mon''. Despite being correctly pronounced in the season's opening. It is unknown why it was pronounced this way.
