::::::How do you all pronounce "Arceus"? Since the 'C' comes right before the 'E', I read it as "Are-see-us". Anyway, since there's no real voices in Pokemon games, it's hard to tell exactly how Pokemon names are pronounced. So after thinking over it for awhile, I agree that it could be made to sound like "Arceus" if pronounced as "Are-kee-us". However, it also cannot be ignored that RKS is a real-world acronym used by Digital-Memory Managers that stands for "Record Keeping Server". So if anyone adds the the connection to Arceus' name to the trivia, then they must also address this.([[User:Yater31|Yater31]] ([[User talk:Yater31|talk]]) 23:06, 14 April 2017 (UTC)) | ::::::How do you all pronounce "Arceus"?

:::::::I've always pronounced it with a hard K sound - that's how I learned it and I kept with it when I found out it was more etymologically accurate. I believe RKS might be a reference to Record Keeping Server, but that's not really what RKS System does, and a lot of the foreign language names involve "Alpha", Arceus's category, so I think that is the main origin. Regardless of what I think is the primary source for the name, I think they both should be included. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#287a43">Celad</span>]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#e85545">onkey</span>]] 00:46, 15 April 2017 (UTC) | :::::::I've always pronounced it with a hard K sound - that's how I learned it and I kept with it when I found out it was more etymologically accurate.

::::::::The edit notes say you shouldn't add an edit implying a link with Silvally and Arceus, but would it be okay to just say that (the ability name) is phonetically similar, with the additional note that there's no direct link between the two?
