Totodile is supposed be pronounced like "Tot", as in "child". For some reason even the anime got this wrong.

This is related and it's been on my mind for a while but I didn't want to make an entire separate thread just for it:

>Charizard is pronounced "Char-ih-ZAHrd"
>name originally comes from "char"+"lizard"
>but lizard is normally pronounced as "lih-zerd" and not "lih-ZAHrd" like in the name Charizard

>Blastoise is pronounced "Blas-TOYs"
>name originally comes from "blast"+"tortoise"
>but tortoise is normally pronounced "tor-tis" and not "tor-TOYs" like in the name Blastoise

Why is English so dumb and inconsistent? Make it make sense, Anglos.
