Well, if you know any Japanese, it's pronounced ポッキー. You may want to check it with the Pocky commercials on Youtube.

If you are saying the first vowel the same as the "o" in the English word "poke", then you're way off. It's a short Japanese o.

EDIT: OK I may have found a good video for the pronunciation
