PS Lima that sounds cool!

btw I can hear your accent come through in your phonetic spelling and i love it! 😊✌️ I'm sure mine does in my own way but trust me your accent is better than my Okie drawl 😂

@-wc- Yeah, like Josh! That's how Yoshi says it! https://youtu.be/c_qKid5SWlU

But I remember watching a video once that talked about how the way Mario says his own name sounds different to different people, usually depending where you're from. So Brits hear 'Marry-o' and Americans hear 'Mah-rio'. I wonder if it's a similar situation with Yoshi?

@-wc-
Here is another nicknames of PlayStation machines in Indonesia based on their numbers.
PS1 = PS Satu (Sha Too)
PS2 = PS Dua (Due Ah)
PS3 = PS Tiga (Tee Gah)
PS4 = PS Empat (Um Putt)
But we still call PSP with English pronunciation.

My cousin in Turkey (and his friends) refers to Call of Duty as "Call of" (pronounced "Callov", like a Russian surname), rather than "COD", as it is perhaps better known in the West.

Peach also sounds very similar to "piç" (sounds like "pitch"), which means "illegitimate offspring".

@gcunit some of his name calling could've been better, I particularly hate how he says "Dr. Mario". The one I'll give him (and I wish other Announers did) is "Bowser/Koopa...Jr.".
At least is not as bad as the Spanish Announcer saying "Litel Mac".
A lot of people will criticize me, but apart from the Ultimate newcomers and the aforementioned "Litel Mac".

About Arceus.
I know in Pokémon Battle Revolution for the Wii the announcer pronounces Arceus as "ar-see-us", then the Arceus movie in Latin American Spanish pronounces its name as "ar-khe-us". When I heard that, I was like "wtf?!"
