Actually, your completely right about the dog thing, suicune is a dog, entei is a lion, and raiku is a tiger. But celebi, who knows I don't think darkrai is an obvious one either
You people really don't know that Celebi is a time traveling, forest pixie/fairy?
Good god... I knew that after looking at it for a while. Look at it's wings.
Celebi is a green fairy-like creature.
Feel the flame.
Embrace the flame.
Believe in the flame.
Let the flame aid you.
Let your spirit free.
Let your passion burn.
