On another note, here's something about which not many others would care:

There's an acute accent diacritical mark over the letter "e" in Pokémon. The accent is on the second syllable.

Nearly everyone I've heard pronounces the word with the accent on the first syllable.

No matter how one pronounces that e with the little accent mark, this sound should get center stage.
