I read Japanese, and I can tell you that the katakana listed (イルミーゼ) does not say "Irumaizu" (which would be イルマイズ) in fact it says "Irumiize," which is actually pronounced "ee-lu-mee-zay." I've looked at the PokéDexes cited. I've even seen the Japanese episode itself, and I can tell you it is prounounced "ee-lu-mee-zay." I'm not sure where this "ill-loom-eyes" comes from, but I'm almost positive the English anime dub was saying it correctly by preserving the Japanese pronunciation. If I'm not mistaken, Illumise and Volbeat's Pokémon voices were not dubbed, and the ones you hear in the dub are the same as the ones in the Japanese version.

I thought I should post this and see if anyone posts a reply before I edit the article... TheSlyFox 08:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC) reply
