Well, wild cats run around all over the place, and that's what Raikou and to some extent Entei resemble. Not domestic cats (and even those sometimes do.)
However, I still call them "The Legendary Dogs" simply because that's what they supposedly are, I like dogs better, and they're all supposed to be the same species. I guess even the two cat-looking ones could be canine or canine-related.
Yes, I completely agree. Even though they admittedly do look a lot like cats.
Oh my gosh, YES! That's what I wanted to say, I just couldn't think of a wayYou make a fine point, Manaphy1128. But the images never load for me, and I really would like to see the comparisons being made.
I pretty much agree with Stardust-Kumo, except for the fact that they all seem like dogs to me, even Raikou. I don't know why, I just see them that way. And everyone will see them differently. Because of that, not everyone will think they are cats and not everyone will think they are dogs. I don't call the Hoenn trio the "Three Regis" or "Legendary Golems," but "Legendary Kings." I have my own reasoning for it, and everyone will have their own for the Johto trio, too.
There is little to no true science in Pokemon. Like I said in my previous post, if there was, Pidgey couldn't use Fly out of battle. A tiny bird like that couldn't carry a 10-11-year-old across vast distances. And I've never seen a real duck looking like Psyduck. If the Pokemon designers can make Psyduck look so "fake" compared to a real duck then they can by all means make dogs look like cats. All we really have as proof as to what the trio is is the information given to us from official sources, and very rarely does anything get more official than the games themselves. So if the Pokedex entries for Raikou (and the other two, for that matter) isn't proof enough that they are all dogs, then I can't really see what can be.
On another note, my friend once told me that they're not dogs or cats, but just Pokemon. Not very factful and scientific, but in a way, true... >.>;
to word it. In the pokemon world, there is no mention of any "animals".
