Arceus and the Unpronouncable Name

How many times have I stated the fact Pokemon fans are twits? Mmm, I believe my upcoming Digimon post on the normal blog is now the third, was going to be the second, but this was too juicey to leave.

Arceus. ‘The Original One’

While I laugh at the idea of Pokemon God and ‘The Original One’, I believe that it is a myth, MYTH, of the Shinnoh region, the pokedex’s wording confirms this, I think the name is obviously employing Deus, Latin and Greek for God. Arc from Arch which means highest.

PBR-Are-See-Oos

Nintendo-Ark-Ee-Us

Movie-Are-Say-Us

Can we all see why this is wrong? Deus is pronounced like Juice, ‘Duece’. Arc is probably just as spelt, Arc. Photoneticaly spelt, ‘Arcuse’, is likely to be correct, even if it is pretty clunky.

And they say Latin is a dead language, I am using it right now and never learnt it. >_>
