So, with the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, there has been some debate over the pronunciation of "Arceus". I only found out that people pronounced it "Ar-key-us" after watching a couple videos on it, and I'll be honest, I was surprised (I've always pronounced it Ar-sea-us (or Arse-e-us, if you want)). So I did some digging. Turns out, Ar-sea-us is how it's pronounced in Japanese and Ar-key-us is the official pronunciation in English. So, now I'm curious, How do you pronounce it?

If you think I'm wrong, correct me. If I've offended you in some way tell me what it is and how I can correct it. I want to learn, and along the way one can make mistakes; Being wrong helps you learn what's right.

I’ve usually played in my native language, where I‘ve pronounced it slightly different from either of your options. In English, I‘d probably pronounce it ar-sea-us.

No clue what this is, but if someone handed me a page to read out, and this word was on that page, I'd pronounce it as ar-sea-us

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

“Arc-e-us”, as I read the “arc” part of the word first and “arc” is not pronounced “arse” (at least where I live).

None of the above, I usually say "Are-Kay-Us", because I read the name before I heard it spoken and at first thought the name was (partially) based on "arcane" (even though the name's origin doesn't always influence the pronunciation).

The canon pronunciation in English would be "Ar-Key-Us", because of the whole "otherwise it sounds like arse"-thing, although in the Arceus movie (the first time this Pokemon was mentioned by name in the anime) they did still pronounce it as "Ar-Sea-Us".

AR-Kay-Us with emphasis on the first syllable, "downward" intonation. The Latin in me I guess.
