What about ray-kwaa-zuh?
I've heard people say that too

The legendaries keep their Japanese names and are transliterated so that they will sound basically the same. Reikuwaza. Zeruneasu. Not Raiquayza or Kserneas or however the fuck people want to say shit like dummies.
>>25698564
>groo-don
>>25698564
Comes from "quasi"
>>25698590
>Zeruneasu
Really?
Then who's the fucking retard who tranliterated it with a X instead of a Z?
>reh-jice
>ar-kee-us
>cray-nee-dos
>sep-tile
>>25698590
The trademarked names are Rayquaza and Xerneas.
Also
Is it Pal-Key-Ah
Or Paul-Kai-Ah
Are-see-us is best.
Are-key-us sucks.
>>25698636
>he doesn't know that X can be pronounced like a Z at the start of words
Do you even English?
>>25698636
Because they're transliterated into English (where X at the beginning of a word sounds like Z) and not into Dutch or French or whatever non-important language other people speak. The English spelling is then copypasted into said non-important languages where the pronunciation becomes garbage.
>>25698636
X and Z are pronounced the same way when they're at the beginning of a word.
Hence why it's pronounced "Zatu".
>>25698688
Pal-Key-Ah or Paul-Key-Ah

Also the anime contributes a lot to pronunciation that doesn't make any sense, like Arkeus. How can it go from Aruseusu in Japanese to Arceus spelling to match it to a fucking K sound out of nowhere? Anime is bad.

Meh, I bet it's another degeneration of correct English pronounciation created by American laziness
Since X should be pronounced "kz" in every language using that letter, lazy amerifats decided to remove the "k" like they removed the "i" in Aluminium...
Just die from burger overdose already, fatties

Rayquaza's Japanese name is pronounced Rekkuuza (レックウザ, not Reikuwaza (レイクワザ). They retroactively decided to romanize it as "Rayquaza" to match the English name (as they do with most legendaries' names) but Rayquaza is still pronounced Rekkuuza in Japanese.
As for Xerneas, you're correct that the Japanese name is Zeruneasu (though again, it's still romanized Xerneas like in English) but that doesn't match the English pronunciation either. Both "e"s in Zeruneasu are short whereas the second "e" in Xerneas is long. It's also different in French and German, where the "kser-nee-us" pronunciation is actually correct because that's how they pronounce initial "x".
Even if the names are spelled the same in different languages they're adapated to each languages phonology. If you think that's somehow "wrong" because only the original Japanese counts, then you're also wrong if you pronounce Rayquaza as anything other than "Rekkuuza" because that's how it's actually spelled.
>>25698862
Maybe because we live in different countries with different vernaculars.

>>25699089
No, Soo-coon. for Suicune. The U is long and the I and E are silent. Learn to speak English.

>third-worlder trying to pose as a britbong so people will take him seriously
Sorry m8, but Britbongs pronounce it "z" at the beginning of a word just like Amerifats. And "aluminum" is actually the older spelling, the extra "i" was added later.
>>25699135
While soo-coon is indeed wrong, I hope you're not implying that the English names are always pronounced like the Japanese names. By that logic Rayquaza should be pronounced "Rekkuuza".
English is fucked dude, but that's what makes it so fun as a foreign speaker
>>25699114
Like in "suite"? You're thinking "suit" for some reason. It's only pronounced that way at the end of a word. "Pursuit" for example. It's "Swee" at the beginning of a word.
>>25698487
>Pi-ka-chu
>>25699229
>Suicune is a combination of Japanese words
>Rayquaza is a combination of English words
I think there's a difference there.
>>25699027
you were so close
sui is pronounced "swee" based on the japanese phonetics
>>25699221
>Americans try to distance themselves from their hick ancestory by shitting on red necks

Now I want to dress up a Suicune in a suit, tie, and hat and call it Suit-Coon. Would be so cute.
>>25699334
>Thinking everyone here is white
>>25699027
I say all of those that way except suicune. That's swee-coon
>>25699242
English history is such a shitshow
A bunch of celts that got raped by Germans, then by Vikings and then by Frenchmen
No wonder their language is a mess
>Jet-Sis
>>25698994
>in French and German, where the "kser-nee-us" pronunciation is actually correct
Nope
Only English language is retarded enough to turn a "e" into a "ee/i" sound
In French and German, every "e" in Xerneras is "ay" sound
>>25699644
This and "suisoon" trigger me
G and C can get soft pronounciation only before E and I (fucking 1066, if only England wasnt so bad at war this language wouldnt be so dumb)
I can understand someone would make the mistake for Gengar, but Ghetis (H) and Suicune (U) shouldnt be a problem
>>25699644
Me and my friends just call him "George" since no one can pronounce it right.
>Facade
I'm not the only one who pronounced this wrong, am I?
>>25700376
That's because it's a French word
French words usuallu follow the same rule as English for Cs and Gs >>25699737 (English took it from them)
The thing is that in French, the C in "facade" has a special marking to show it's pronounced as a S, but it lost it upon entering English
