So, I was playing Pokemon one day a few months ago. I was bored so i was catching the Unown for the letter marks (forget its name) for the capsule balls.

Then i realized, the way people say "Unown" is not the way its spelled.

If you were to say it as it were spelled, it would be "Un-Own", which means it isn't owned.
But people say it (at least my friends) as "Un-Known".

I blame the first "n" in Unown's name.

Wow you're right I never noticed that, that is very weird.

I go with Un-own.

When I say either one of them, they both sound the same. Un-own. Unknown. I sound them out the same verbally.

Unless some moron's pronouncing the k, I don't have difficulty pronouncing it. How do they say it in the anime?

Ya Un-known pretty much the way I'm used to.

I still call Arceus Ar-sea-us and not Ark-ea-us

I call it Un-Known.
Also, I never knew it is Arkeus! I thought it is Arseus. I need to change my pronunciation!

I always say it Unknown, never really thought about saying it "Un-Own"

I also say Ar-see-us, not Ar-kee-us. One thing I think I do differently than everyone else is pronounce Aron "Aei-ron" (saying the letter A, then ron), instead of Air-en.

Unown = Unknown
Arceus = Ar-kee-is

I suppose it doesn't entirely matter how you say it, just weather or not it makes sense to others.

I believe Unown is pronounced un-known, because un-own makes no sense.

I pronounce Unown, Unknown. Arceus I pronounce Ar-kee-us, but I used to call it Ar-sea-us. I still do at times.

I say Un-known and Ar-key-us

I wonder if un-noun is a plausible way to say it?

Japanese to English translation has broken us once again...
