What were the three legendary beasts before they were resurrected?
 
Well i was looking though bulbapedia and i saw this:
"After Johto was created, alongside Kanto, by Groudon and Kyogre at the beginning of the universe, Pokémon no one had seen before began inhabiting the region. 1500 years before Generation I, the earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the Ruins of Alph of Johto. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical Unown preceded or succeeded the English alphabet, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection. Approximately 700 years ago, Tin Tower and Brass Tower are constructed in Ecruteak City, and Lugia and Ho-Oh perch at their tops. It lived on for another 550 years before Brass Tower burns to the ground, killing three Pokémon inside. Lugia flees to the Whirl Islands, Ho-Oh resurrects the three as the legendary beasts and flies off in search of a pure-hearted Trainer."

I think they were flareon, jolteon and vaporeon because in pokemon ranger you need to capture the three eeveelutions in order to get the three legendary beasts.
But thats just my opinion... what do you think?

I'd think they'd be something Normal, like Rattata. Because it's then like Ho-Oh resurrected them as the three elements related to the destruction of the tower. Lightning lit the tower on fire, which was finally put out by rain.

rocky505 February 2nd, 2010 12:57 PM

I say they were Flareon,Jolteon, and Vaporeon it makes since.

Valk February 2nd, 2010 1:47 PM

I concur Flareon,jolteon, vaporeon Its the most plausible

Clover Cat February 2nd, 2010 2:36 PM

Maybe it was a type of Pokemon that no longer exists because the three Beasts were the last of their kind?

Opposite Day February 3rd, 2010 10:20 AM

Three dittos that had fun borrowing the powers of lightning, water, and fire. When they burned the tower down and died in it, Ho-oh didn't care very much and just decided to remodel them into whatever it saw fit. As a result, Raikou, Entei, and Suicune roam constantly over the land in search for it, seeking revenge and demanding that it'd change them back. (And yet they are too stupid to notice that a certain something landed upon the top of the Tin Tower D: )

BlueEew February 3rd, 2010 10:55 AM

Before they we're ressurected they we're dead or maybe they we're selaed in something or other.

lavenderbolt February 4th, 2010 6:34 AM

in the pokemon adventure, before ho-oh saved them, legendary beasts were still legendary beast. what i don't understand is if they were legendary beast, why could volcano pokemon entei and water pokemon suicune be burned? the flame was hotter than magma?

Scarlet the plusle February 4th, 2010 5:13 PM

well they wern't legendary yet they were just average pokemon so they could be burned. I think vaporeon, jolteon, and flareon mke the most sence...

Åzurε February 4th, 2010 5:34 PM

I'd go with the 'eons myself. It makes much sense in my head.

This question would be acceptable in the Q&A thread...

"Shadow Lugia" February 4th, 2010 6:30 PM

Probably the 3 original Eeveeloutions. They're the same types, they're also cat/dog-like, and the monks guarding the Tin Tower in Crystal used them.

Lastly, they're similar strategy-wise. Jolteon and Raikou both have high Speed and Special Attack, Vaporeon and Suicune are both very bulky, and Flareon and Entei both have higher Atk than Special Attack.

>Feelings< February 4th, 2010 11:55 PM

They were still Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, just not legendary and as powerful. That is what I believe the real thing to be. What's up with the ideas of the Eevee evolution spreading up?

Haza February 5th, 2010 1:30 AM

If thats the case I would love to see the other Eeveelutions to be burned and ressurected! Haha, they make the most sense but I hate comparing Suicune to Vaporeon. Vaporeon is kinda fish like and Suicune obviously is not.

Halcyon February 5th, 2010 2:13 AM

A Magikarp, a Feebas and a 5th Generation pathetic fish Pokemon! :D
(I remember posting on this before quite a while back. XD)

Opposite Day February 5th, 2010 11:39 AM

^ Or just Goldeen. Who uses it but the crazy fishermen that also use magikarp and feebas? >:

pokemongarnet February 5th, 2010 2:11 PM

have you played the original gold and silver games?
tin tower is where you find Raikou Entei and Suicune. so that would be my first guess.

Amore February 5th, 2010 2:24 PM

Entei,Raikou and Suicune.

3 super-strong eeveelutions owned by some mystic trainer, who turned evil, burnt the tower,framed Ho-oh then ran.

Ho-oh resurrected them to go hunt him down and kill him.That's why they're roaming.But Suicune gets bored, hence you catch it in Hg/Ss differently to the others.


Also, "him" could've been a her.

Oh!
I love that idea! I think that sounds very cool.

spike6958 February 7th, 2010 11:50 AM

I like the idea of them originally been Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon and apart from Entei also looking like Arcanine (and Arcanine been mistaken for a Legendary Pokémon) there are no other Pokémon that fit the Beasts.

Anxiety. February 7th, 2010 12:24 PM

Jolteon, Flareon and Vaporeon make the most sense.

They're the same elements. Also, they're Dog/Cat/Felines, the same as Raikou, Enti and Sucuine.

Amore February 7th, 2010 12:50 PM

Well, i suppose it coulda been Manectric/Luxray,Arcanine and,uhh...Swampert?(most dog-shaped water i can think of).

Suicune coulda been a Gen V pokemon.

But my super-evil trainer idea is my personal fave:P

My belief is that they were three nameless Pokemon (I'd say 3 of the same species, and a species we probably have never encountered before as they're said to be "nameless") As coolcatkim22, I think Ho-Oh resurrected them into Legendary Beasts based on the three main elements that related to the Tower's downfall. The three beasts also resembling dogs, and it's widely accepted that dogs are brave and caring animals; they might have been killed while they were helping other Pokemon out of the building, ultimately sacrificing themselves. Ho-Oh saw Entei, Raikou and Suicune as the appropriate forms to bring these dead Pokemon back into (as Bulbapedia mentions, it's believed that these three legendary dogs are not the only ones of their species. Meaning of course that there are more than one of them.)

Lots of possibilities of course and the Eevee evolution trio makes sense, but for some reason I can't see that as being the appropriate answer.
That's what I said in the previous topic, and I'm gonna stick to it. :P

So it’s been awhile since this was posted but I just want to add weight to the theory that the legendary dogs were indeed resurrections of jolteon, vaporeon and flareon.

I’m currently finishing a research task on Pokémon Go to unlock shadow ho-oh and one of the task was to finish the three rocket leaders and as I finish each one of them, flareon, jolteon and vaporeon pops up as the encounters.

I’m quite positive this is tied in with the story that they are somehow related to Ho-oh and I’m confident that out assumptions about the tin tower and the Pokémon that burned was the aforementioned.

This isn’t to solidify the case but just to bring a little more justification to the theory. =)

Hello, welcome to the forums!
If you wish to make a discussion about this then I would recommend making a new thread instead of posting in a thread inactive for over 11 years old. Generally, the rule of thumb is to avoid posting in threads inactive for over 3 years as per Pokemon General rules.
