The Greek Pokémon Return!
It's back.

You can request a Pokémon to be Greekofied if you want to.
By the way, for those who saw it on the old forums, I updated some of the pronunciations because I had a lot of them wrong (I recently found out that an 'au' makes an 'aff' sound, for example.)
It's back.
