Anyway, simple fact is they are based on both dogs and cats. Anyone who says they're one or other needs to remember that they're pokemon, not real life animals, they are fully capable of being a mix. |
I call them legendary dogs, but I think they're mixed. Suicune looks like a dog, Entei looks like some sort of dog/cat mixture, and Raiku looks pure cat.
|
I've always called them the Legendary Dogs, but I guess logic would say they are far closer to cats. Only Suicune doesn't have feline features, and it's not much closer to being a dog.
So, for the sake of old habits, I voted Legendary Dogs, but if I sat back and thought about it, I would probably change my mind. |
Well, I'm stuck in my old-not-making-any-sense ways and call them Legendary Dogs. But that's because as a kid, I heard Suicune in the movie with Celebi and thought "that is not a cat"... I could go either way, it's just out of habit that I think of them as dogs. :>
Also, I think of them as dog-cat hybrids.. like so: Entei: Flat Face of a cat, bulky and moves like a dog. Raikou: Face of a sabertooth cat, also sort of bulky and moves like a dog. Suicune: Dog like face, moves very smoothly and cat-like.. -shrug- that's what I think.. |
Houndoom19 makes a good point that I want to elaborate on. They're not dogs or cats. However, they're not "a mix" either. They're Pokémon. They aren't supposed to resemble any specific real-life animals. If you want a term to use to refer to all 3 collectively, they are the Legendary Beasts.
|
Well, IMO, they're like dogs/cats to me lul.
|
They're based upon large cats/large dogs in real life, but the collective term for them is the Legendary Beasts as they're bits of both.
|
Raikou is clearly a tiger, Entei seems to be a a lion, and suicune seems to be a wolf

I've always called them dogs, but I'm not sure what they are. Perhaps they're capibaras?
|
Herp derp cats derp!
Seriously is this a serious question? I mean the pokedex calls them dogs... |

They are Pokémon, why must we compare them to real animals? |
Of course they're dogs. But Suicine looks kind of like a cat though
|
i always think of them as Legendary Dogs...

Some old guy in Eckruteak city
Speaks of them this is what he says " one day nearly 50 years ago this city was blessed with three dogs who ran around it protecting us but they ran off as the tower the lived in burned down no-one has seen them since" So the are dogs |
Technically, they're dogs, but their sprites appear more feline'ish.
Entei looks like a dog; Raikou is more of a cat, and Suicune is a dog. As stated above, a man in Ekruteak describes them as dogs, too, so there's no better supporting evidence / proof than an in-game old guy. |

People call Entei, Raikou and Suicune as Legendary Dogs... :o
|
I don't really think much of it, but if I'm not mistaken, I read cats and dogs came from the same animal. Maybe they speculated what that animal looked like and then created Pokemon from that?
|
In-game old guy is full of truthfulness! :pink_disbelief:
But yeah, I think they are dogs. |
I like to refer to them as beasts or even monsters due to the japanese name for pokemon.
:P |
I think they are 'beasts'. They are all a mix of cat and dog. Entei looks like a lion in the face, but is more bulky, so its body is like a dog's. Raikou looks like a tiger, but Suicune looks like a dog, yet it's swift and elegant like a cat. So a mix, perhaps?
|
I think cats.
Raikou - Tiger Suicune - Cheetah Entei - Lion |
I think they are dogs. I am portuguese, and in the portuguese Pokemon Episodes they are called "Cães Lendários", which means Legendary Dogs. Lugia has his 3 Legendary Birds and Ho-Oh has his 3 Legendary Dogs ^-^
This is my opinion ;) |
