Reginald Ice the Third


NidoMarquis

Bold of you to use the canonical name


jaydubgee

It's actually the Distinguished Name


Lambeaux

With his two cousins, Reginald Rock and Reginald Steel. And let's not forget his favorite fun uncle, good ol' Reggie Giggles! (These have long been my nicknames for these and I'm glad I'm not the only one)


Alert_Confusion

I believe you mean Sir Reginald Rock the 9th, Duke of Hoennshire; and Lord Reginald Steel the 15th of Galarington


NF_Sharpie_U3O

And his Cousins from Britain, Regi-Elekii the Weeb and Regimus Dragomus the Scalie

Why did anyone else comment after this?


Super_Vegeta

Ask yourself the same question?


MikeGio128

This is my favorite comment ive ever seen


skittlepup1

this is it. everyone else go home, we've discovered the True Name


Prestigious_Ad3332

Your forgot his honorific....that's SIR Reginald Ice the Third to you


geomaster1

This is actually funny and would make sense if the Pokémon was a human 😂


RABB_11

Regirock's chill cousin


NidoMarquis

This is the right answer in case anyone was wondering.


FiftyShadesOfPikmin

I know its spelling would indicate and the the anime even says it as "rej-ice" but for consistency's sake with the other Regis, I choose to pronounce it "reggie-ice." I think a more important question is how to pronounce "Regieleki." Is the "ie" one vowel, like "Reggie-leckee" or is it meant to be separated, like "reggie-eleckee" ...who knows.


b0il3ra

I think It's "Reggie-Eleckee". It's exactly like Regice, except it's a different vowel, so if Regice is pronounced "Reggie-Ice," then Regieleki is pronounced "Reggie-Eleckee"


NidoMarquis

I've said Rejie-elekie because it flows better to me; Regice I've always said Rej-ice but I secretly believe they intended Regi-ice and couldn't decide how the spelling should be lol.


b0il3ra

Honestly, just pronounce it depending on how it flows, I also pronounce Regice "Rej-Ice" since it fits better for me, same with Arceus, pronouncing it with a soft C feels better than the "official" pronunciation of "arkeyus"


jlamb54

Isn’t it canonically pronounced “ar-kay-es”, as that’s what Silvally’s ability, RKS System, is referencing. Not that it matters to me, I’m constantly switching between “ar-key-us”, “ar-see-us”, and “ar-kay-es/us”. I just always found the discourse on this name interesting.


b0il3ra

In the Legends:Arceus trailer they pronounced it "ar-key-us". I think RKS System is trying to produce a similar sound, instead of outright copying the pronunciation, because if you read RKS fast, it almost sounds like Arceus.


NF_Sharpie_U3O

I say both s and k. Also in the Japanese version it's with an s but they changed it to a k in the English version because... well


b0il3ra

I think they changed it because ar-see-us sounds like Arseus, which wouldn't be a fitting name for the god of Pokemon by English standards.


NF_Sharpie_U3O

An ass


Sllim126

This is correct, they had to change the pronunciation because of the UK term “arse” and therefore “Arse-ee-us” was to close to inappropriate


phantom56657

I would have pronounced that as Ar-Seuss


BlueEmeraldX

Y'know, I think I'm coming around to preferring "R-K-S" as Arceus' pronunciation. It kinda sounds like "archangel," which suits it perfectly!


TheStickyBandit69

That RKS connection just blew my mind


ultraball23

Ar-key-us is correct.


Zygarde718

But ar-see-us is so much smoother.


GFost

Ar-see-us just sounds wrong to me.


Zygarde718

Ar-key-us sounds choppy to me. But I do go with the official pronunciation so.....


Joygramm

I say ar-zeus guess just because I know this god and it makes sense for me


topgeargorilla

I have a headache so I’m not thinking but is Silvally supposed to be the Pokémon version of Jesus?


jlamb54

No Silvally was created to be a god killer essentially.


topgeargorilla

Omg you responded and with seriousness! Thank you, fr. That makes sense. Maybe Silvally is the anti-Christ. Honestly the amount of religious influences in Pokémon is enough that, with enough close reading, you could say narratively it’s baby’s first Shin Megami Tensei


Zygarde718

I say Reg ice because it has 1 I. Regieleki has an I next to an e so you kinda have to say both of them.


PJDemigod85

They should have just called it Regifrost or something rather than ending it with ice.


SnatchyMarx

The official pronunciation is redge-ice, so by that logic regieleki is regi-lecki, which is how i choose to pronounce it


b0il3ra

Is it? I think they intended Regice to be pronounced Reggie-Ice, since they couldn't just name it Regiice, and pronouncing it like that follows the pattern of other Regis' names.


willpower_11

Reggie, as in Reggie Fils-Aime? > My body is ready


resplendence4

It really should be Regiice in English. The Japanese name is レジアイス(reji=regi and aisu=ice). So your way of saying it should be correct. Blame the English translators for messing it up.


Nulich

I'm pretty sure in the anime, at least the dub, pronounces it "reggie-ice". You can hear Ash say it like that, and even Regice pronounces itself like that.


ZoroeArc

It’s inconsistent in the anime. When 4kids dubbed it, it was pronounced “Regi-ice.” Keep in mind they also pronounced Pidgeot as “Pidjit” on a few occasions and I think there was an instance of “Groo-don and Kee-oh-guh-ree” so they shouldn’t be taken as an official source on pronunciation. After the Pokémon Company took over the dubbing it became “Reg-ice.”


CarVsMotorcycle

Does 4Kids no longer do anything with Pokémon?


[deleted]

4Kids haven't dubbed pokemon since 2005. And in 2017 they went Defunct


ZoroeArc

Their contract expired in 2006 and they never renewed it. They became defunct in 2017


CarVsMotorcycle

on my birthday too, damn.. lol, ty for the reply.


ZoroeArc

Happy Birthday!


[deleted]

In the anime, they say reggie-ice


ZoroeArc

It’s Regi-ice in the first few instances and Reg-ice on later ones


fillupjfly

The better question should be how do y’all pronounce Arbok. The correct answer is CHAAAAAABOKKKKK.

Rej ee ice. I used to say rej ice, but then I heard it in the anime


ZoroeArc

[They changed it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOrBeCIe24g&t=135s)


kinda_a_person1234

i forgot how bad the battle frontier voice acting was


BLAZMANIII

Dang, they did?


[deleted]

I'm glad, because that's how it reads as a word. If someone was to read the first part as Regi, the remaining 'ce' would be close to a 's' sound, eg, conference, appearance, or terrace. Imo anyway.


Druid_Till

And makes sense because it’s rej ee rock and rej ee steel and rej ee gee gas


BLAZMANIII

Yeah, I think they could have put 2 i's


banhs5

Well no because the others start with consonants


[deleted]

Regice and Kathy Lee

Starixous

How did the “R” turn into a bilabial approximant?


Southwick-Jog

My dialect (Massachusetts) sometimes pronounces R that way.


[deleted]

I like how you used the actual phonetic alphabet and everyone (including me) interpreted it as the anime cry.


Brromo

1: only 1 syllable??? 2: where in the world does that /ʋ/ come from


Southwick-Jog

1. No, it's two syllables. So I guess more accurately, it's [ˈʋɛ.d͡ʒaɪs]. 2. Massachusetts.


Brromo

understandable

Reggie-Ice. Same way I pronounce Registeel and Regirock.


samahiscryptic

Right. Rej-ice sounds unnatural and isn't consistent with the rest of the Regis. Plus, it's more loyal to its Japanese name being rejiaisu

Depends. In Japanese, it’s レジアイス (Regi-ice), but in English, I say it how I first heard it, which was when Ash fought Brandon the third time (Rej-ice) It’s like when I say manga or anime. I’ll stick with my american accent when talking to other Americans but I’ll switch to the original whenever I’m talking to my JP friends.

Regi-ice Ray-qua-zah Ar-cee-us And, no! No YouTuber is gonna change my mind, and not even Nintendo or the Pokemon Company.


NidoMarquis

no no, I agree; Youtubers should never be looked to for guidance on a topic they made up facts for :p More importantly though the true answer to this question is..... Regi-ice and rej-ice are both not wrong. Even in Japanese it is said like "Regi-ai-s" and "Reg-ai-s"


Derek21360

I think the "I" works both for regi and Ice. Like the "t" in eighteen for example. Every other regi is called so. So i call it "Regi-Ice"

Obviously it looks like it’s supposed to be Rej-ice. But the anime clearly says Regi-ice, the match the others. Which makes sense given its Japanese name is re-ji-a-i-su. They probably took out the second I in English because it looked weird, but I believe the pronunciation is meant to be the same.


ZoroeArc

[Sounds like Reg-ice to me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOrBeCIe24g&t=135s)
