    Ok so I think it's "Are-Kay-us"

    and my friend thinks it's "Are-see-us"

    Who's right?
     
    Arseeus.

    Arkayus doesn't make any sense. o_O Why would you pronounce it that way?
     
    I actually pronounce it "Arcéus", but that may be due to my accent.

    And seriously, "Arkayus" is definately wrong.
     
    I say it "Ahr-say-uhs"

    But "Ahr-kay-uhs" is another possibillity...
     
    Well seeing that its from the Japanese Arseusu (I think that's how it was before the Romanized version came out), and I'm sure Japanese people don't pronounce the 'se' as 'kay'.
    Also, in standard English, the 'c' in 'ce' is soft, because it is followed by an 'e'. A 'c' followed by e or i is a soft one, and a 'c' followed by a, o, or u is a hard one.

    O_o
    So it think its Arsay-uhs.
     
    The Japanese name is Arseus. Pronounce it with an 's.'
     
    I have always liked to say R-C-us. Its pretty natural.
     
    I pronounce it as:
    ar-sues, not with 3 syllabals. kinda like ArZues, with an 's' instead of a 'z'
     
    Ar-Cu-rus
    Is how I pronounce it, because I'm harcore!
    Just like I pronounce Kyorgre Kee-oh-gray.
     
    I've always thought it was 'Are-see-us' But I'm starting to think it's closer to 'Are-say-us' A minor difference.
     
    I used to think of it as "Ar-kee-is" lol, but over time I kind of figured it was "Ar-see-us."
     
    I personally believe it is Ar-see-us, as well.
    To me, it just seems like this would be the more likely pronunciation.
    (High level English courses are fun! xD)

    However, I really do like the pronunciation, Ar-kay-us, as you have said Aurasphere. It just sounds so... pleasing.
     
    R-sus is mine.

    Remember, there is NO right/wrong answers.
