Nintendo of America is obviously wrong here.
Rayquaza's name, him being some sort of angry green frog creature, is an obvious allusion to Ovid's famous croaking verse:
"sub aqua, sub aqua maledicere temptant"
A Kwayzuh is not something that has any real meaning.

Retards who mispronounce shit on purpose because being ignorant and prideful is more important than being correct. You're like those niggers who say "axe" instead of ask or "pacific" instead of specific, or worst of all people who pronounce "Gif" wrong. When your whore mothers named you did everyone around you go "actually his name is pronounced x instead of y", no, grow up faggots.

>>718603890
That's not how those characters are pronounced. Rekkūza. "Ray-quah-zuh" would be something like レイクヮザ

Soft g is correct.

It can take years before a legendary Pokemon shows up in the anime, and at that point the fanbase is stupid enough to say "I can't believe the anime got it wrong!"

The dumbest Pokemon name issue will always be Regice being pronounced Rej-ice when anyone with a brain can tell it was supposed to be Regi-ice but the old RSE localizers fucked up the display of it's name and left out an i
Even in Japanese it's レジアイス , as straightforward as it gets

>>718604835
"Gif" will always be pronounced like "give". Even if Jesus himself would descend and tell me that it's not pronounced like that, he would simply be wrong.

>>718603890
japanese pokemon names aren't english pokemon names
in japanese, as >>718604842 pointed out, it's rekkuuza. in english, it's the other one, even if it's stupid. but at least you don't have to deal with official english spellings of japanese names like "gangar" for gengar (pronounced like the english version)

>>718605228

I'll never understand why Gengar is popular, especially when he objectively cooler pre-form exists.

>>718605643
Yea no shit that's what my post said. It's pronounced how the creators tell you it is. There's nothing more reddit than telling people they're wrong about something they made.

>>718606113
In Japanese its name is ゲンガー which is roughly romanized as Ganger. Its name comes from "-ganger" as in doppelganger or widerganger/gjenganger (Germanic/Nordic revenant undead).

>>718606460
Ever consider the creator is retarded?

>>718606313
The Japanese name is irrelevant when talking about the ENGLISH names of Pokémon. If they were meant to be 1:1 translations then there would be hundreds of pokemon with different names than we have now.

>>718604835
Im not calling a Gif a fucking peanut butter brand. The creator is still a faggot for whatever reason he deserves

There are already hundreds with the same names, retard. Ever heard of Pikachu?

>>718606660
You can create something and still be wrong about it. Since this is a Nintendo thread, look at Sakurai. He says Smash isn't a fighting game. It is. It's not the same as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, sure, but variations to genres exist.

>>718606673
but i will now show you that japanese pokemon names can be much, much worse.

behold, eievui

>>718606576
Legendaries, mythicals, and other iconics like Pikachu are supposed to have cross-language names. Rayquaza being pronounced like "quasar" doesn't make sense because it's based on the sky, not space. Deoxys is the one from space.

Good attempt but it's not spurdo. It's just FUG.

Do people who say "jif" also say "ah-nee-meh"?

Jif is how you pronounce GIF. It's how the creator says it. Take the acronym SCUBA. You say Skoo-bah even though the U is "underwater" which is pronounced with an "uh" and not "oo."

It's jif. The creator said so.

>>718603365 (OP)
Wow how embarrassing they didn't catch such an obvious typo

I pronounce gif as "gee ai eff" or "gife" (like "five") depending on how many people I feel like pissing off today.

Literally no one but "UHM ACKSHUALLY" plebbitors pronounce it that way. And I mean literally no one.

yeah, Sugimori's japanese wikipedia page says venusaur and gengar.

i'm 100% certain japanese people prefer gengar to haunter generally, though. the "haunter is cooler" meme is pretty prevalent in the states but haven't heard it in japan even once

>>718608602
Hey that's not our fault. Blame the French

>>718608851

For what? Stealing their words and pronouncing them wrong?

>>718608745
I pronounce it that way and have for like 15 years before I even heard it was objectively correct. "giff" sounds retarded.

>>718603365 (OP)
Why don't they use phonetic script?

>>718608952
That argument would make sense if French pronunciation was consistent, but they are pronouncing their own language wrong

Sure you did, Mr. Read-It-or

You know how Canalave city in Sinnoh is pronounced khan-a-law-vay in the dubbed anime? Lmao the pokemon franchise is full of this shit. Whoever gets to decide how names sre officially pronounced in English is probably just fucking with people.

French pronounciation, as convoluted and retarded it may be, at least follows an internal logic and basic rules you can use to construct a pronounciation from writing.

"Ar-say-us." The "-eus" is supposed to be from "deus" meaning "god."

>>718608239
i feel like it took me far longer than it should have to think of something like giraffe or germ

The official pronunciation of Cobalion is Ko-Bale-Eon. Even though he's literally cobalt colored it's not pronounced like Cobalt.

>>718610662
Arceus would make sense even as Ark-eus as in Ark-Angel not Ars-Angel since that's never used in latinized form, however I get in english they would use Arkeus/Arckeus for that because they big dumb about phonetics.

>>718604835

If you're mispronouncing something on purpose that's the literal opposite of ignorance you histrionic moron. I'm glad it pisses off emotionally immature faggots like you, that's the whole reason I do it.

It is fairly reddit to stick with a rigid decision process. While generally it is preferable to use the creator's pronounciation, sometimes it is completely retarded. You have to determine whether their pronounciation is plausible before you accept it. Following simple rules to be safe is a fairly reddit thing to do.

Hydrocity isn't a word unlike Toxicity, and adjectives aren't names for levels. They obviously just either forgot the space, or removed it because "Hydrocity" looks cooler than "Hydro City", like how Icecap is written without a space as well.

Arceus. It's clearly a S sound in Japan but officially it's a K because bongs and the word arse.

>>718623073
Fact, the creator of an acronym gets to decide how it is pronounced and then we got words like giraffe which we do not pronounce as guraffe anyways
Plebbit will never admit that they are wrong on this tho

>>718603365 (OP)
People who refuse to pronounce it correctly give off the same energy as those trannies who say shit like "pupper" or "bnuuy"

>>718623576
Wrong. Japan has no "si" sound syllable, they have a "shi" sound. Their Shi becomes either "Ji" (Like Jig) or "Zi" (like zip.)

I mean this is the same country that decided that Arkansas and Kansas should pronounced differently, are you surprised?

>>718624032

>>718624395

>>718624250
> arsueusu.
different from.
> arkueusu.
But Arkueus makes just much more sense as a name than Arseus. It could've been "Arzueusu" and it would've made much more sense to pronounce that way phonetically. But I digress, not everyone's into this deep level of phonetics shit especially not Americans.

When I'm talking with french people it's Tea-grex because tiger in french is pronounced tEEgrUH.

It's TIEgrex. Because he's a tiger dinosaur, a rex. Tiger-Rex, Tigrex. He's literally tiger striped.

You're still wrong. Japan clearly has a Ki sound so if Arceus was meant to have that they would have used it. See is still closer to Shee and Zee than Kee is. You are trying to argue when you don't even know English.

>>718625926
Now do me a favor and find where Arc is the use case for Arsee sounds in real life, nowhere. Exactly so the logical conclusion is that its pronounced as Ark.

Rahy-KWUH-zah

Japanese name is レックウザ Rekkūza. Based on the Japanese title of the seventh movie, Rekkū comes from 裂空 (rekkū; rended/torn sky) and the za is probably from 座 seat/place/status, the imagery is as this embodiment/fierce ruler of the skies.

Groudon (グラードン; Gurādon) is from ぐらぐら guragura (rumbling, most people will recognize this as Whitebeard's laugh from One Piece) and ドン don, a Japanese onomatopoeia for something heavy, a sort of thump/boom. It may also be don as a title since the other two have names that imply a position of power.
Kyogre (カイオーガ; Kaiōga) is from kai 海 (sea), オーカ orca, and possible 海王 kaiou, king of the sea

Being a blitzball player doesn't make him a water themed character. The game itself is largely water themed, his being out of place is fundamental to his story. He's from a fucking city floating in the ocean and his actual exposure to water is in a big floating orb indoors, he isn't water themed.
