For over 25 years, Pokémon has earned loyal fans who have formed a tight-knit community, complete with card trading, watch parties, and co-op video games. The nostalgia of Pokémon is undeniable, and the team at PixlParade celebrates that pop culture legacy with a guide to the most difficult-to-pronounce Pokémon names.
From Rattata to Lugia to Nihilego, you’ll never have to wonder how to say these Pokémon names again. Maybe you remember schoolyard arguments over how to emphasize Rattata or in-depth grade school analysis on why Hakamo-o is spelled that way.
The graphic is a colorful trip down memory lane, and you may find it either validates or challenges some of your long-held beliefs about how to say certain Pokémon names. There are many other fun details in the graphic too, like the Pokémon’s number, the generation it’s from, and a fully illustrated image and description of each creature on the chart.
