The Legendary er... Things!

The things that I am talking about are the Pokemon of Entei, Raikou and Suicune. Some people call them dogs, others cats, and others weird genetic mutant hybrid thingies :P So... discuss their weirdness and wonderfulness here ^_^

Entei looks like a tiger,Suicune looks like a wolf, and Raiku looks like a lion...I don't see why the flip they're called dogs. I think 'two cats and a dog trio' suit it better XD

THEYRE GENTIC HYBRID MUTANT THINGIES! xD
Nah, they're worst than that... But Blue's idea of "Two Cats and a Dog" seems nice~ xD

No... they're WEIRD genetic mutant hybrid thingies XD

I know people call them dogs/cats/tigers/lions/wolves/kangaroos (I've heard that one mentioned before... seriously), but to me, Raikou looks like a Sabretooth Tiger, Entei looks like a Mountain Lion, and Suicune looks like a cute widdle puppy, only not so widdle XD

cute puppy? swecone look like a timber wolf

Isn't mountain lion just another word for Tiger? Or was that panther I'm thinking of?XD I can see Raikou as a Sabretooth, Suicune cute? O.o; Ohhh...kay XD

Personally, I think...
Raikou=Tiger
Entei=Lion
Suicune=Wolf
...yeah. i've always seen it this way even since GSC days (it was hard to tell what entei was back then, what with his wierd-looking GS sprite :P)

Of course, if you look carefully at the movies, you can sorta tell what Entei and Suicune are:
Entei roars like a lion...
Suicune howls like a wolf...

And based on art:
Raikou has stripes like a tiger...

I honestly dont think they look like animals at all o.o I hate it when people call them "legendary cats" or "legendary dogs." Not all Pokemon have to be animals >> << >> I mean, what would the Regi trio be... the Legendary Baboons? o-O

I just think of them as the Johto Legend Trio o.o

Regi's=Legendary minerals

Nah, Regis = Solid Robots~ xD

Ok, Shining Mew got a point... BUT, like herself said, not All Pok?mon need to be animals, but the Johto Trio are, indeed, animals~

I can almost see how a solid piece of ice is a robot </sarcasm>

anyway Quagsire isn't an animal so all of them don't need to be animalisticly based

I was being sarcastic w/ the whole animal thing xD


If the Johto Legends were animals.. the only one I could possibly see would be Raikou... he kinda looks like a tiger... but the others just look like made up creatures >>

^Were the people who said that feeling alright? OO;;

As for me, I've always referred to them as "Legendary Dogs," though I never actually thought that looked that much like dogs. Aside from Entei.

People have a tendancy to define things in terms of what they already know about. Now, of course, the legendary birds are classified as birds because they can fly and have feathers (granted, ostriches can't fly, but still). So, it's no surprise that people compare the three legendary...whatevers to existing animals. Personally, I think they combine some cat and dog qualities, as well as other animals.

well, i've always called them the legendary dogs, even though raikou looks cat-ish.

suicune: wolf
Entei: reminds me of a bull dog kind of, lol.
raikou: tiger :3

I think Raikou is more or less based around the pun of "saber-toothed tiger" - since the actual sabertooth "tiger" wasn't a real tiger at all. :P (Yeah, I know, I'm being ultra-picky there...)

Entei's basically a lion in my opinion, and Suicune...I'll agree with either cheetah or canine. Not any specific canine, and especially not a wolf, since it doesn't look too much like a wolf to me, but it does have a canine-like build to it.

I always call them "beasts", though - because one, it seems like one specific term won't work for all three of them, and two...it cuts down on any arguments about what they really are. :P

I would say that they're dogs definitely.They resemble them most, don't ya think?

In some areas, they most resemble cats...
Entei, in the 3rd movie, had Retractable claws, a trait only the feline species has...
Um...Raikou jut looks kinda cat-ish...
and suicune, um, well, it also looks cat-ish :P
if anything, Entei is the cat, by undisputable evidence.

I call them beasts... but they look more like big cats than anything else.

Suicune kind of looks like a Cheetah or Leapord IMO...

Well who or what started the term legendary dogs? I think theyre still dogs. Im not sure what breeds exactly but they do look doglike to me. The Birds are kinda obvious by their look. And the Regis? I just call them the Regi-Trio.
