![]() Incidentally, I'm not going to argue that 'BLAST-oyz' isn't the 'official' pronunciation, this is just food for thought. I wonder if the 4Kids dubbers actually knew that and decided it should be pronounced differently, or if they were just downright too dumb to realize it.) So logically, shouldn't Blastoise's name be pronounced 'BLAST-uss' or 'BLAST-iss'? (It really sounds weird to the ear, but it's probably just nostalgia-headphones, if you think about it. Tortoise is pronounced 'TORT-iss' (or TORT-uss). It's a combination of the words 'blast' and 'tortoise', right? That may be how it's pronounced in Japanese, but the cultural context of 'tina' is different for Japan, being as it's not really a name like it is here.Īlso, I recently realized something about Blastoise's name. Though I think this one is because it avoids the incredibly-dumb sounding pronunciation of the female name 'tina' in there. (Also, AR-see-us just sounds flat-out better to me, but that's my opinion.) Giratina I've always thought should be pronounced something like 'Gi-RAH-tih-nah' (probably with a hard G)- mainly because, again it sounds better to me. My issue with 'AR-kee-us' is mainly that the 'c' in Arceus' name looks like a soft C- My thought was that if they wanted it pronounced with a hard C, they'd just spell it with a K. I really hate how they say several names in the show, namely MY-low-TICK, AR-kee-us, and GEAR-uh-TEE-nuh (gear-a-tina? Really?) Please tell me that Milotic at least will be 'my-LAH-tick' (same syllable emphasis as 'exotic'). And glisten was the soft, almost greasy sound of something rich and oily. ![]() Gleam was a clean, smooth noise from a surface that intended to shine all day. ![]() I'm assuming these are from the anime and not necessarily how these should logically be pronounced. If light made a noise as it reflected off a distant window, itd go glint And the light of tinsel, all those little glints chiming together, would make a noise like glitterglitter.
