Okay, so I add to my list:

poketo.monsuta

pokiman

pokyman

pokeman

I'm still wondering how the "e" is supposedly the most important letter. Or why you would only take one letter from half the meaning. Or why you're stressing that the Japanese is important to base it on when they're just loan words from English anyway. But then "Pocket Monster" gives you

pokt.manstyr

Again, this could just as well be pokytmonsty or a variation thereof. Also, listing three American pronunciations is very biased. If anything, compare the six source languages pronunciations of the word.

But I should have been more clear about the e. I didn't say the e itself was the most important part. "poke" is. We have Pokeballs, Pokecenter, Pokewhatnot. That's why I thought it would be good to keep the e from poke.
