I just pronounce it Zack-Ian, like the names, say it like it's spelt

 

[Bigfoot_the_Pokémon]

I used to say zuh-SIGH-ahn because the color Cyan can be pronounced SIGH-ahn

I pronounce it that way too, some pokemon I adapt to saying it how it's said when hearing it's name used in the anime with varying degrees of success (Sceptile being one I pronounce inconsistently) but others I just stick to the way I find sounds more natural.

 

[MegaPod]

You mean you people don’t pronounce it ZAH-see-an? The name comes from “cyan,” and the spelling alone suggests a soft c sound as opposed to a hard c. You know, like in “Garcia was tracing unsolicited atrocities”

 

[DawningWinds]

I pronounce it ZA-shee-en. Enphasis on the wrong syllable, apparently, and I don't think I read the a right (I use the short a sound, not the ah sound).

 

[Bigfoot_the_Pokémon]

Yeah. I learned the correct pronunciation from the new Pokémon handbook (super extra deluxe, I think)

 

[Bigfoot_the_Pokémon]

Now they're all the way up until Alola and Galar! I have the Kalos one too, btw

My sleeping rhythm is so messed up, I go to sleep at 8-9am and get up at 6-8pm so now I barely get to see the sun

 

[Welkamo]

Woah how did that happen

 

[RavenRaziel98]

My wife makes her appointments with doctors rather early and I always come along with her. The thing is that I'm a mental mess in many ways and one of my problems is that I always had sleeping issues. Now the problem about that is that additional to that I feel immense pressure to sleep so I can get up early (stuff like: Come on boy, it's almost 3am, you HAVE to sleep now or this will end in a disaster). I figured out it is much easier to just stay awake and go to bed when we are back home so I invest the night time in gaming and watching stuff online and use the day time for sleeping. And the decision if I try to get back to a normal rhythm depends on different factors like the times I go to bed/get up (because this is relevant for shopping groceries) or if there are more appointments within a rather short period days. But since I don't have a social life I couldn't care less if it's day or night as long as the rest works out so I don't bother to fix that in the moment (it will be fixed kinda automatically as soon as I get the email that announces the delivery for BD/SP).

 

[Welkamo]

I have problems where I get up in the middle of the night and also get up an hour before I have to. It’s weird.

Also are you getting both BD and SP?

 

[RavenRaziel98]

Yes I do, since I'm not exactly a fan of online trading (I use the same name on every copy of the games I have so the name of the OT is always the same as the one my character has) and I don't have friends who play the games. My wife doesn't play the games either but I can use her switch to trade for trade evolution and stuff and I'm also able to complete the pokedex by myself this way. In addition to that I can do two runs with different starters and different teams

Why does waking up always feel like you've just been run over by a truck?
