I say swee-koon as well
Arceus - Ark-see-us
Rayquaza - Ray-kwaa-zuh
Gyarados - Gar-uh-dose (gar like the start of 'Gary')
Giratina - Gear-uh-teen-ah
Bonsly - Bons-lee
Pidgeot - Pidge-ee-ot
Raikou - Rye-koo
Ratatta - Rat-tat-taa
I have the feeling that I pronounce most of these wrong.
Rattata- I always say Ratta ta (ta rhyming with bar). Some people say Rat tat tah.
Pidgeot- I say Pid gee ott. Not Pidgit.
Ponyta- In Pokemon Stadium they say Ponee tah. I say Pony ta (ta rhyming with bar)
Arcanine- I say Arc ah nine. In Pokemon stadium they say Arc+Canine (canines as in dogs and wolves)
Pokemon- I say Po kuh mon. Some people say Po kee mon or even Pock eh mon.
I don't really see the reason behind pronouncing Arceus "Ar-see-us" (That's what my little brother says), I've always thought of it as "Arc-ee-us". For the life of me I can't remember how they said it in the Jewel of Life... /=[
I would say go with the anime pronunciation, unless they're obviously wrong (Ry-koo and Pidge-it).
I'm going to think of all the Pokemon I can think of. This is how I pronounce them.

Groudon = Grow (Ow as in like OW!)-Don Video Proof
Suicune = Swee-Koon Video Proof
Entei = En-Tay

Lugia: Loo-Gee-A (This is how they say it in the movie, I don't know where the J sound came from) Video Proof
Kyogre: Kai-Oh-Ger
Jirachi: Jer-Ra-Chee
