How do you even get Arkayus out of that? It seems like they went out of their way to pronounce it the most wrong way possible. I would never even assume pronouncing it like that way.

>From a combination of arch, archon, arcanus (Latin for secret/sacred mystery), archaic (ancient), αρχή arkhē (Greek for beginning), or archetypus (Latin for original), and deus (Latin for god) or Zeus. May also derive from aureus (golden), arc (round or ring), or Archeus (an aspect of the astral plane).

I don't see any of these saying Arceus should be pronounced Arseeus, do you?

I guess we should call Dialga 'Diaruga' since thats how the japanese say it?

That's disingenuous and false equivalence. ル(ru) is often translated as "lu" or even just "l" or "r" due to the way it is pronounced. セ(se) is literally never pronounced with a hard "k" sound. The ambiguity of the letter C doesn't exist in Japanese.

They did. It WAS supposed to be pronounced the way everyone ACTUALLY pronounces it, and you can find this pronunciation in Pokemon Battle Colosseum, but then they changed it to some ass-backwards bullshit because brits pointed out that "lol it starts with arse".

It's stupid and terrible and I've never actually heard anyone pronounce it the "currently official English way" ever.

The correct pronunciation is AR-SEE-US.
It was retconned in English to be AR-KAY-US because they didn't want the god of all Pokemon to have "arse" in its name.

No, but I call Pikachu "Pikachu" because its Japanese name is obviously the same.
There's no other Pokemon where they change one little sound from the Japanese name (except this like L and R or B and V, but that's not a change because they're the same in Japanese). It's either all or nothing.

This is retarded, and Bulbapedia isn't totally right, and nobody here is either.

Arceus comes from ἀρχαῖος, Ancient Greek meaning "pertaining to the beginning", or "ancient/primeval".
The pronunciation is
>/arˈçe.os/
as the newer Medieval Greek pronunciation. This is what Japan uses. However, it's
>/ar.kʰâi̯.os/
in the older Ancient Greek pronunciation, and this is what English countries use (the reason partially being to not sound like "arse"). In any other situation, the Japanese version would use the older pronunciation and we'd use the newer Latinized one. To give an example, Japan pronounces Aegis as "Eye-giss" because it's closer to the original Greek pronunciation. But we say "Ee-jess" because our pronunciations have been Latinized and have moved away from Greek. That's why Persona 3's localization chooses to go with "Aigis" over "Aegis" because it helps English players pronounce it correctly.

Another example is Cerberus, which is "Kerberos" in Greek, and Japan pronounces it that way too.

It's "redge-ee-ice" just like it's redge-ee-rock and redge-ee-steel.

Pronounced that way in nip and was pronounced that way in English for ages as well until TPCi randomly changed it.

Eevee is Eievui (イーブイ), but it's pronounced like how Japan pronounces the letters E and V, so the pun is identical. But it doesn't stop Japan from pronouncing V as "B/Vuy".

Also take Rayquaza, whose name is trademarked as such in Japan, but its actual Japanese name is pronounced totally differently (レックウザ; Rekkuuza) because its name comes from Japanese words like 裂空 (rekkuu; split/rended sky).

Or Shaymin being シェイミ (Sheimi) with no ending n, but still being trademarked as Shaymin there.

That's not how language works. If 99.9% of the native English population pronounced "Yamauchi" as "YaMOWchee" and it's used enough to be part of the English lexicon, then that becomes the English pronunciation of Yamauchi even if the native Japanese pronunciation and intonation are different. I completely understand wanting to abide by a language's pronunciation for words that originated there, but the development of language doesn't abide by rules.

I still say Aegis as Eye-giss, but I say Cerberus instead of Kerberos. Right now, the English pronunciation of Arceus is officially the one that sounds close to "RKS". I'll still pronounce it "Ar-sey-us" at every opportunity despite that, but that doesn't change that the English pronunciation is valid in its own context. In the end, what matters is people understanding what you're conveying.
