What were the three legendary beasts before they were resurrected?

[Johto's Best]

I love how Ho-oh supposedly ressurected them and made them stronger, yet Entei still sucks.

 

[Daydream]

I'm pretty sure the idea is they were previously non-legendary forms of themselves, but resurrected and given deity-like status.
Although it is odd the similarities they share with the eeveelutions - colouring and appearance. The eeveelutions and dogs also bare some resemblance to the legendary birds.

 

[cat333pokemon]

Maybe Arceus has the ability to change their form? They may have been a similar Pokémon, or maybe they were related to the legendary birds.

 

[Stellar]

I think that was done on purpose, since Ho-oh is tied to the beasts while Lugia is tied to the birds.

-hugs Entei- I still love you. xD

 

[Valen]

i think that they are bigger forms of it cuz i mean when u look at them its like their mini versions also the kimono girls do have some eeveelutions but thats just my opinion

 

[Tudj]

Its a pretty good point you bring up, and I don't think its coincidence. I also think that if only those 3 were made stronger after death, how does the man in the 3rd movie become an entei, well by the unown, but the movie has nothing to do with ho-oh, who created entei, and the other 2.

Wow!
I actually never thought of that!

It would make sense for them to be the eevee evolutions. But truthfully, that would make me like them a little less.. Knowing that my pokemon team are just a death (and resurrection) away from legendary status.

Also, I could see them just being weaker, smaller versions of themselves before they were brought back.

before they were revived they were 3 rattattas

duh

Incorrect. Suicune was a Rattata, Entei was a Sentret, and Raikou was a Zigzagoon.

BEEP BEEP BEEP NO ZIGZAGOONS IN JOHTOcaps

 

[Yuoaman]

I'm guessing that the Pokemon were the same as they were now, just not as powerful...

Quit poking holes in my theory, it's annoying. XD

How do you know a trainer from Hoenn didn't travel to Johto only have his Zigzagoon be stolen from Team Rocket, only to escape months later and find shelter in the Brass Tower? ^_^;;

 

[Logiedan]

I'm just going to guess they were dog-like Pokemon.
Raikou: Jolteon
Entei: Houndour
Suicune: Vaporeon.

 

[Eggie Poo Poo]

I don't get your Eeveelution theory, LEGENDARY BEASTS means beasts that are legendary, and Jolteon, Flareon and Vaporean are by no means legendary. There's your answer. Wah-la.

BECAUSE I'M A POKESTORIAN, NOTHING GETS PAST ME BEEP BEEPcaps


;_;

 

[.hack]

Wow, great theory, I can imagine the Eeveelutions getting mega powered and becoming the legendary beasts, it fits so perfectly ;D

Of course not. But they became legendary.

You guys can't bring Eevee's line into this, as stated there these were old Pokemon and the 1-151 generation Pokemon hadn't been seen yet, these were probably a prehistoric gen.

150 years ago isn't prehistoric. The very fact that there's a man-made tower at the center of the legend should make that clear.
