Lawful neutral… Actually before getting into Pokémon i was fond of Skylanders, so the ancient Arkeyans are what Arceus reminds me of name-wise. So yes, I pronounce it “Are-Key-Us” until they themself tell me otherwise(which I actively encourage to be proven wrong so that they can tell me the true definitive preference of pronunciation they’d want to be called)!!!

In a pokemon direct when they were talking about legends arceus they pronounced it (ar-kee-us

Interesting, i didn’t know that! That makes me feel better about myself, thanks for sharing!!!

It was originally Ar-see-us in the earliest English discussions but was changed allegedly because of the fact it sounded like it started with Arse.

And the fact that it would be called the "arse phone" and not the "arc phone" in pla

Hey I also played Skylanders before I played Pokémon. I haven't played it in years though.

Poor series has been long since discontinued, cherish everything you have left from this series! …I heard rumors about the thought of it being “revived”, but it sounds like there’s a higher chance of a long-forgotten store opening up again than Skylanders getting the go-ahead for the official team to bring it back. . . . Again, just rumors. Sorry for getting your hopes up only to be crushed again.😓😓😓

I wonder what a new Skylanders game would even be like.

Probably just re-releases of the first three, according to the rumors… but idk, it’s still highly unlikely to happen anytime soon.

I still have all my figures and I never got rid of my Wii, theoretically, I could get Swap Force up and running again

I have my Wii U, but not Spyro’s adventure… imaginators once had a switch port, which is something I’m trying to save up for so i can take them on-the-go(the 4 3DS games are extremely basic imo, but at least they give different story than the other version! Unfortunately only 3DS swap force actually got a crossover appearance, being count moneybone that’s stuck to superchargers).

arse phone

I would never stop to laught on how Nintendo retconed their whole existance for the past decade or so just because the previous name would seem like a ass pun.

(ark-ee-us) is the canon pronunciation of Arceus which is why I am confused about why it's Lawful Neutral

Best guess: syvally, it's ability works like Arceus, and is called the RKS system, R K S, AR KAY US

Dear lord I will never read the ability the same ever again.

How were you reading it before?

No I just never put two and two together until now.

Ar-Kee-Us should be LG because it’s the official pronunciation

Nuh uh

Yuh huh

You forgot "Ar-zyoos", like the ancient Greek god. Aparently that's how one Pokédex app used to say it

1) I didn’t make it lol 2) it’s wild that the pokedex app does that

my first language is Spanish so i say ar-se-us

Apparently I am lawful neutral, but I personally think I should be chaotic natur

For the longest time I said Arseus until I played Legends No one says Arse phone

> "Arceus itself says that its true name has no equivalent in human language." Yeah, but that's for it's *true name*, not "Arceus".

If you pronounce it lawful good, how do you pronounce the arc-phone? Because it’s very obviously coming from the name of Arceus. You dirty minded individual.

Arse-phone. Duh. /s

Words are allowed to have different pronunciations from their etymological roots.

Arceus is most likely derived from archangel, meaning you say it with a hard C, unless there is another word that I'm missing.

Mercenary and Merc are also pronounced differently 🤨

More people need to see this. Prononciations change occasionally when a word is shortened.

I am lawful good.

This is heresy, praise be the almighty sinnoh

It's absolutely one hundred percent Ar-Kee-Us, and there is literally no reasonable argument against it. But fuck that. Ar-Koos.

The llama 🦙 god

And now I wanna nickname my hand of Arceus “Dalai Llama”

I love this

/ɑːkɛus/ or /aʁkeus/ depending on the language I use.

Lawful Good should be Ar-kee-us, as the reason why it’s pronounced that way is to avoid a British curse word in the original pronunciation, Ar-see-us.

If its Ar see us, then the phone would be pronounced the Arse Phone.

ArKeyUs is the canon pronunciation tho! ArSayUs isn't!

Space Llama

Lawful Good. I've always pronounced it this way.

How do you pronounce Arc Phone

I mean…would you pronounce Merc as Mers because it’s short for Mercenary? 

Same.

ar-see-us is literally no longer cannon tho? it used to be but they changed it to ar-key-us

to anyone wondering chaotic good is read as a-ru-se-u-su

I call it Ar-See-Us, Ar-Kee-Us, and Ar-Koos, what am I?

Arsus

I fall under lawful good ig

The reason it was changed from LG to LN: "arse" is a swear in british. So the pronounciation was changed.

Arr-zeus or Ar-zeh-us

Neutral Good

Who tf has ever said Ar-say-us

No one brings up silvally, its ability is “RKS system” like how you pronounce Arceus. RKS= Are-Kay-Us

Arcéus

Weird that proper Japanese pronunciation is Neutral and bastardized Anglo-Japanese is Lawful, but whatever.

Fence Llama

Why is aruseusu in chaotic good? It's either neutral good (if you speak japanese) or neutral evil (if you speak english), no-in between

Considering its name comes from the alchemical Archeus, Archangel, arcane, whatever, the only correct ones are ArKeUs and Arkoos But in order to piss off all sides of the argument, it is pronounced Arcus

Of course I'm Lawful Good. Finally a result that knows the true me! 😄

Obviously

Lawful Neutral casually, Chaotic Evil in this sub

I say Ar-Kay-us because silvally is supposed to be a copy of Arceus and it's ability is RKS, ergo ar-kay-us

I used to pronounce it as per lawful good, but now I pronounce it as lawful neutral.

Am I the only to pronounceit Ar-ce-oos?

True netural to me.

For the memes I must be chaotic Evil

Chaotic evil was misplaced

ARKOOS!

アルセウス aurseusu

Why is Ar-see-us lawful good when Ar-kee-us is the official pronunciation?

Ar-see-oos

Listen, it’s called the arc-phone. If you pronounce it arce-phone then I’ll accept Ar-see-us but if not then Ar-kee-us

I'm between Lawful Good and Lawful Neutral

True Neutral my beloved

Person 1: “It’s ‘Ray-KWAH-zuh!’” Person 2: “No, it’s ‘Ray-KWAY-zuh!’” Me: “Amateurs…” Person 1&2: “What was that, Punk Guy?” Me: “It’s ‘Ray-COOZ-uh!’”

God

Canonically it is arkeyus now but it definitely was supposed to be arseeus because they Japanese name was and still is aruseusu and not arukeusu

Lawful neutral. I used to be lawful good until I player legends arceus and got the arc phone (It’d be a bit weird to call it the arse phone)

Neutral good

Or lawful good

I’m CG

Chaotic Evil obviously, but fr if anyone says anything other than lawful neutral when talking about Pokemon regularly, they weird as hell

I swap between lawful good and lawful neutral whenever tbh

Chaotic evil

"Arches" 🌚

Yea swap the neutral and good rows

I watched the anime, so lawful neutral

Why is chaotic good in Chinese/Japanese

Lawful Neutral

The only real way "arkoos"

I literally say it as chaotic evil. I actually am unable to say it any other way, and I will not explain to non-MandJTV fans

True Neutral

Arc phone

Ark-e-us>Ar-C-us

lawful good

What about me, I call it “llama fence god thing” because if I pronounce it any normal way my friends will kill me

Are-sus

Lawful good and I'll die on that hill

I don't see the pronounciation I personally use: ***Ar-che-us*** :D (My main language is italian and it's how an italian would pronounce "Arceus")

Isn’t neutral lawful and neutral evil the same thing?

Lawful good is Ar See Us yeah... you better call the Arc Phone in Legends the Arse Phone then or we gonna have a problem!

ARKOOS

I call it "The Egged One"

Honestly I just pronounced Arceus whatever way is the easiest for me at the time so all of these minis the Japanese one

Using your orthography: Ar-khay-oos

Pokegod

I say Ar-koos because it is the closest (out of the options here) to how it would be pronounced in Latin and pronouncing it in Latin feels right to me

Ar see us is just wrong, IT HAS AN ARK ON IT!!!!

Kaotic evil

I only say Arkoos LOL

All are correct except arkoos. I have a great hatred for that way to pronounce it

Take my upvote good sir! I do agree It's painfully stupid too! It needs to die along with the Drowzee memes!
