I mean if it stands for "Pocket Monsters", shouldn't it be pronounced "Pawkeh Mon"... like the first part of Pocket?

I'm so confused ;_;

It's because of the é.

The é forces an 'ee' sound.

Poketto Monsutaa
Quote:
After more than six years in development, Poketto Monsutaa debuted in Japan where Nintendo published and released the Game Freak creation in February 1996. Poketto Monsutaa is translated to Pocket Monsters in English, but that would have to change to the popular contraction Pokemon once the game was exported to other countries. This was because in the 1990s, Morrison Entertainment Group established a brand called “Monsters in My Pocket,” which sounds similar to Pocket Monsters.
