Just me or is he a bit.... Wrong? Maybe it was just me, I didn't mind it really, its just when he tried to speak softly it sounded incredibly forced.

Good to see more Pokemon apocalypse though >.> (Arceus looks exceptionally evil with his eyes fully red)

If you're referring to the English dub, then yes, I agree. Haven't watched the Japanese dub.

Yeah I am referring to the dub. He sounds like an evil wizard or something I swear.

Arceus' English voice didn't really fit... and was just plain meh for me. They could of picked a voice way better then that. They had freakin' Dan Green playing that Damos guy. (Though I don't know if he would fit Arceus either.) All I could think of was that Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh turned Greek... seriously. XD

But yeah, I plan on watching the Japanese version when it's on DVD to see how he sounds there~

His voice was nowhere near as majestic as I thought it would be. It upsets me.

He just sounded like an whinging idiot the whole movie. Kinda failed.

I knew Damos voice sounded familiar! Yea I don't think Arceus' english voice fit in either.

edit: Dan Green also was Entei. Awesome!

I admit that arceus' at first caught me off guard, but I think the voice actor does a good job of expressing the vulnerability that is central to Arceus' character. For that reason, I'm cool with it.

Arceus sounded off...by a long shot. I always pictured him having...a softer voice? Not so 'World Domination'.

I agree, His voice........ was a bit on the old and unknowing side..... Didn't seem to fit in that well.

(cant think about how can i place cape on him... so i give him a top hat)


Ho ho, oh my. It still accomplishes the goal.

But gosh, that voice was pure failure.

Well, in the beginning it super bugged me, which is odd because I'm generally all for dubs but this one just didn't... Fit.

However, as the movie went on, I just got used to it.

I think his dubbed voice fit him perfectly. Arceus isn’t exactly evil, but he was in rage after what the guy (I forgot his name..;;) did to him all those centuries ago (centuries.. or millennium I think) His voice wasn’t exactly irritating, but there was nothing wrong with it either.

i don't get all the complaints, i think it fits. I just don't like the calm version when he speaks. His rage voice is really good. It was tense!
