What kind of personality/character type do you see Arceus as? Mysterious wiseman? Omnipotent/scent father figure? Wrathful, damning god? Other? And why do you see Him/Her/It as such?
I see him more as a mix between a mysterious wiseman and an omnipotent figure. He more would teach both humans and Pokemon how to be good and do the right thing. Hence, why I actually thing perphaps some of the mythological texts are from Arecus himself, except his teachings being passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, if evil lurks, then he would come and fix that. I'm actually planning to write a short passage in one of the chapters of "Nothing, Everything" of how the plates come to be with Arceus having sealed his powers and also the powers of the "defeated giants" in the plates so that the chaos won't happen again and how the text came is so the story can be passed on from generation to generation.
Given the fact that my current fic-attempt is mostly set on normal Earth, circa 1996(?), would it be alright if things such as certain cars, bands, etc were mentioned at times, such as one of my characters from the Poké-verse running across a CD of, let's say... the Beatles? Primarily, would it turn anyone off to read that kind of thing in a fic where the setting lacks Pokémon as the native animal species(es?) but is still a Pokémon fanfictional work?
It kinda depends what kind of world you're writing. If you're going to have the fic set in the anime world, probably not since the anime hadn't mention any real-life bands, cars, etc. (from what I can remember). However, if you're writing in the game world or maybe even something different, I think you have some leeway. The games had a couple mentions of real life brands and even countries too.
