Even as a kid, I knew the cartoon was wrong for "Mol-trez" because it doesn't match the "uno, dos, tres" naming theme.

I see the anime still doesn't pronounce Arcanine correctly. With that, I think it's fair to disregard official pronunciations.

How would you pronounce it differently? Other than zah instead zuh, but that's a very minor vocal difference.

Rayquaza has a role in the current anime, so they keep saying its name like ray-KWAY-zuh.

I wonder if they did that just to drill the pronunciation into peoples' heads.

How are you gonna be smug about pronouncing Rayquaza wrong when we had the Deoxys movie like 20+ years ago? Only one you get grace with off the top of my head is Arceus, since they recently changed that one within the past few years.

If it makes you feel any better, the Japanese pronunciation is ray-quah-za. So saying it that way isn't technically wrong. It just makes you sound like a weeb.

I've always said ray-QUAY-zuh and ARK-ee-us and I'm glad I've been correct this whole time. I feel justified.

this post is ironic, since the Arceus movie used Ar-KAY-us back in 2009.

Nah the only way to sound like a weeb talking about pokemon is if you say Satoshi. Those people need slapped.

Arceus has always been Ar-kee-us in English and Ar-see-us in Japanese. Granted I'm 95% sure they changed the pronunciation for English on purpose because they didn't want it to sound like arse.

That's how I've always pronounced it in my head before even hearing it.

The real bullshit pronunciation is Arceus (they say "ar-key-us," I say "ar-say-us").

It was probably was something like that. I just remember pronouncing it ARKEEUS when he first got announced, then some official material pronounced it ARSEEUS, but some time before Legends Arceus came out they changed it to how I said it originally.

Actually, looking at a video on it, the movie trailer pronounces it differently than how to movie pronounces it, so I think that name's just cursed in general.
