Pokemon Legendary Bytes - Arceus - ft. Alex Beckham

---

But since I am a god, I am giving you just one. More. Chance. To go!

Pokemon Musical Bytes is a collection of songs from the Pokemon series which aren't quite a full musical, but are still themed around the games themselves! Through the month of July 2022 we are proud to bring you songs about some of the Legendary Pokemon throughout the series!

Pokemon belongs to Nintendo and Game Freak

Arceus: Alex Beckham

Lyrics: Alex Beckham
Mix: Marc Gardner

[ArcherR]

I love how Arceus’ theme in PLA starts glitching towards the latter half. It’s as if the world itself can’t handle how much power Arceus is using

[VoidVoidVoidVoidVi]

Fun Fact: The character singing this song isn't Arceus, it's actually Alex after taking to much Adderall and ascending to Godhood.

[gaster]

I love the lore behind this battle with "Arceus".
It turns out that the "Arceus" we have in the games isn't actually Arceus themself, but a mere fraction of them. They basically use that form to interact with the world, and sometimes join specific people if they feel interesting to them. It's also implied that they can make many if not infinite copies of this form.

"Now you're playing the *Legends game* !", "Will you fall and sucumb at the end of *your game* ! " - HOLY SH-

[jerrymanjoe]

I like that Arceus mentions the end of the game, as he breaks the fourth wall because of his omnipotence quality

[mr.sheeppeehs]

Arceus: ok, so all you need to do is catch every Pokémon in hisui
*80 hours later*
Player: ok I caught all the Pokémon, can I go home now?
Arceus: 🎵fall to your knees, it’s time to pray🎵

[RylixBlizzai]

you know i've always loved how the theme starts to get all glitchy further into the battle as if the game itself were struggling to comprehend a god for that long

[darkner]

You strived to become the very best, pushing yourself further and further.
You have faced off against the legends spoken of in old traditions.
You have traveled the lands and sea, and rose to the top of the world.
You ventured through time and space, going to the other side and back.
You managed to find the balance between truth and ideals.
You averted the deaths of millions, claiming the power of life and death.
You defended the world from interdimensional monsters.
You held up your sword and your shield to vanquish the giant dragon.

And now...

You have to prove yourself against the one who created the universe itself.

[arridueldes]

Seen a lot of comments talking about "I will make you believe in Judgement Day" but for the line that really gave me chills was definitely "You stand before The Hurricane"

[HeckleJeckle]

This Arceus is full of Old Testament Fury and it is terrifying. I LOVE IT!

[lordnul]

The only thing I feel is missing the end of the song is a bit basically paraphrasing what Arceus tells us after we manage to beat Him. That He's proud of us, and is giving us a fragment of Himself to travel alongside us and see the world as we see it.

[Icalasari]

When it is at the 4:30 - 5:30 points where the voice suddenly sounded human and yet _wrong, _ it feels as if my heart stopped. As if this being was so beyond comprehension and so Eldritch that it triggers my deepest instincts and terrors, fears so primal your mind buried them as a _defense_

[FloridaManProductions]

This song gives him soo much justice
We can never comprehend Arceus true form considering we only see one piece of him. He probably had to tone down his true strength or it would have shattered our minds

[Malicious_Spectrum]

I like how funky Arceus sounds in this. The way his voice bounces through my headphones makes it seem he’s everywhere at once, which is fitting for a god!

[hydrathermal]

“I will make you believe in the judgement day” is such a raw line

[ThunderCube]

"Now you are playing the legend's game"

Arceus is so powerful it recognizes that the world it has created exists as mere entertainment on a higher plane

[trainerlsw]

I love how otherworldly this is. It really fits for Arceus, as he is a god.

[edmundthearchwizard]

This is probably the strangest song they’ve ever done, but I liked it!
Also like how they just casually confirmed that Alex is god.

[necrozma]

Man we keep talking about the lyrics, but can we talk about how fitting the voice filters for every legendary has been so far? MOTI made Arceus actually sound like a being from beyond comprehension and it's fricking amazing

[joshuariederer]

The glitch effects and the audio was masterfully done. Props to the Moti team and excited for eternatus!
