arceus official pronunciation - your not gonna like it

[hiou2]

I sent an email to pokemon.com a week or two ago regarding how to pronounce arceus' name officially and they put it in this weeks letter of the week:
http://www.pokemon.com/#mailbag_09102009

what do you think? I think nintendo shouldve kept the pronunciation as the same as what battle revolution says (AR-see-us not ARK-ee-us)

I wonder if this itself is just another blunder cause so far we've herd 3 diferent "official" views on how the name is said, first battle revolution saying "Ar-see-us", then the trailer for the 12th movie saying "ar-say-us" now an official rep of pokemon USA sayign "ARK-ee-us"

which should we believe?

 

[Shneak]

So it's the same as the trailers?

 

[Zwitter™]

nah the point is its gone from that to ARK-ee-us


imo that is total fail just on the inconsistancy front. there should have been enough planning to know how to say the name before it got released


also that name is sh*t


it is like how suicune is pronounced swee-KUN!!!!!!

 

[pastel]

i guess its arseeus, just because thats how i read it. xd

 

[Tropios]

0-o i always pronounced it that way, isnt bad.

btw, suicune is the way u read it too, what else did it had to be? SUI-su-ne ? i said su-SHI-ne

 

[Vernikova]

I'll just stick with the pronounciation from the 12th movie.

 

[TheLupineOne]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! For me it will always be Ar-see-uz.
Arcie to its friends.

 

[cptmyname]

WOW AM I SURPRIZED

the strong C was how i always prenounced it
i would poke fun at my friends and PBR for being wrong...

AND I WAS RIGHT!

 

[pokedexfiller]

its like rayqazza to rayquayzza i dont like it. i pronounce arceues ar-see- us

 

[pokedexfiller]

its like rayqazza to rayquayzza i dont like it. i pronounce arceues ar-see- us

 

[Missingno.Fan]

At least its better than Ar-soos. (I actually heard someone pronounce it like that)

 

[Illusione-Tempus]

I like the ar-see-us more, it's what I usually pronounce... I hate Ar-KEE-us =.=

 

[Tropios]

i never heard someone saying ar-see-us , i prefer ar-kee-us sounds stronger

 

[Anyone 4 Buttons?]

Well, I've always pronounced it as ark-ee-us. Yes, it sounds odd, but I see the 'arc' in the name, and just pronounce it thus.

 

[W.T.]

Me too. I've always said ARK-eus because otherwise it's ARSE-eus, and we don't want that now, do we?

 

[Grei]

That's dumb. I've been pronouncing it "Ar-SOOS" up to now (Y'know, since Zeus is pronounced "zoose"). I'll continue to pronounce it that way, thanks.

 

[XxpikapikaxX]

Aww..I like Ar-see-us. That's WAY better. That's how I pronounce it, until the 12th movie.

 

[halloweenghost]

well the guy who does the mailbox is I honestly believe to bewrong.. they have been wrong before on things. Like in the advanced battle opening the shadowy figure of mewtwo they said it was the crimsons wave scizzor (or whatever it';s name was.) when somone asked what it was... when many know it is mewtwo.

But it would be kinda dumb to have PBR pronounce it VERY differently if they go with the hard C

 

[BCVM22]

That's dumb. I've been pronouncing it "Ar-SOOS" up to now (Y'know, since Zeus is pronounced "zoose"). I'll continue to pronounce it that way, thanks.

There are at least three or four right answers to this question.

This is not one of them. In no language is "-ceus" pronounced "soos."

I actually like ARK-ee-us since I kept failing to pronounce it before due to the spelling (I usually call him "AR-ser-rus" just because I'm retarded like that (I could never remember where the R was). I had the same problem with Dialga by calling him Digala.

Eh.
