The official term is "beasts", that was my bad. I've heard them referred to as dogs since I played crystal and I guess it stuck in my mind. Raikou I can only see as partially feline because of the teeth. But they still all look like dogs to me.
I just now realized CoroCoro hasn't even been leaked yet
It will probably just me a recap of all the information we've got anyways.
Then you clearly don't know how to use mismagius... I've swept entire OU teams with it.

I've heard the term too, but then again, I've heard many people calling them "legendary cats".
Maybe you only see them as dog-like because that's the idea you got first. As we say here: "the first impression is the one that stays".
Yeah I am also considering using him, he looks cool!

Good players can sweep with most anything with the right strategic prediction. Mismagius is ok, not terrible but not great. It being part fairy wouldn't hurt but we should really see what the new meta-game looks like before making such generic opinions on a pokemon's type combo.

I would probably use him even if he weren't as cool as he is, because he is almost definitly the regional bird.
See, maybe I haven't been on Pokemon specific forums long enough. I've never heard them referred to as the legendary cats. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention or something. But, whatevs. Made an *** of myself
Now what are your thoughts on Vivillons wings? I think they look like a music box and maybe each one has a different song on their wings.

A lot of people call them dogs its annoying. Well you probably went with the heard, looking at them I don't see how you could call them dogs. Yes this fandom has a lot of stupid terms, like pseudo legendary,etc. Foxes are canine not cats you don't need to dwell on it, its a dog, I don't know what Eevee is actually. Yup you and me have.
Cmon...its a theme.

Don't worry. I've been on Pokemon forums since R/S/E and I've not once seen them called the Legendary Cats. It's always the Dogs or Beasts. I've never seen cats haha. Nor have I ever heard of them called that, even since G/S came out. Never cats. Always dogs or beasts. So you're fine. (;

They're official term is the legendary beasts, not cat or dog so you didn't make an *** of yourself. I think vivillon follows a music theme like Kricketune, maybe it will learn perish song?
They still follow a theme, they're all mammals and carnivorous. Same thing happens with the legendary birds, articuno stands out as a short-beaked bird while the other two are long-beaked.

I've swept ubers with Flareon, many people have swept OU teams with NU pokemon. The point is you can sweep with anything as long as you get abit of luck, you are a decent player and your opponent was careless, a beginner or just plain bad. The tiers are to indicate the viability of a Pokemon against another player of the same skill and experience as you, tell me would you consider Mismagius and Flareon viable OU choices over currently simply better Pokemon like Gengar and Arcanine? Maybe for the Lulz, but not when playing seriously.
My point of the post was Mismagius needs a boost over other ghosts, just like Gardevoir got with the addition of fairy and that Mismagius with 4 immunities is not making it "OP" anytime soon.

Stop. People can have opinions. Suicune looks, if anything, like a "WTF ARE YOU?!" Pokemon. Feline, canine, whatever. It is no more one than the other. People can interpret it as they will. And Entei is just as much mastiff/St. Bernard looking as it is a lion or Chinese guardian lion. It has characteristics of both, yet again. And Raikou is the only that is a LOT more feline looking. Don't say it's stupid or annoying just because you see them as cats. I've never once seen them called Legendary Cats, but I still respect your opinion. You're not right about everything, you now. Calm down.

They've been called cats numerous times. It's only stubborn people who see them as dogs who refuse to acknowledge that they're obviously felines that use the term canines. Its annoying how some people overlook the facts because they're stuck with their own mindset. It's not a big problem that much any more but it still sucks that those of us who realize that they're cats have to use the term 'legendary beasts' as a compromise. No offense to any one obviously. I'm just trying to set the record straight.

I'm 26 now, why am I still here?
I feel like the only person on the planet that doesn't like the fairy type...
Corocoro leak already D<
It's not that I myself am stuck in my own mindset but when I was a kid playing G/S/C they were ALWAYS called the legendary dogs and or beasts, so i've always called them the dogs...I've actually NEVER heard someone refer to them as cats until now so... :/

Talonflame is really growing on me. It's just a shame that Fletchling is almost definitely found on Route 1, so odds are, it's going to be pretty weak competitively.
I'll probably use it as my Fly-user, and might beat the Elite Four with it, but I'd really love to see an early-game Pokemon that isn't outclassed by every other 'mon. Just for once.
On the other hand... Noivern. Just... Noivern. Oh my god how awesome is it?
Suicune is a Kirin. Hence the (diamond-shaped) antler, and why it can walk on water.
Raikou is Raiju (a cat-weasel-wolf).
Entei is a Shisa (a lion-dog).
Technically you're half-right by calling them cats or dogs, but there's still the other half. "Beasts" is more accurate.

Ofc people have opinion, this isn't about that, I can't just start calling my cat a dog, I didn't disagree with anyone opinion, I presented a fact and the guy is ok with it and the discussion ended already.
Yes people have been calling them legendary dogs becuase like I said, it was some kind of stupid trend that caught on with people not paying attention to what the things actually are, I never called then dogs, unless gamefreak somehow comes out and says nah they are totally dogs looking at them, they are cats.
Calm down? I'm havinga normal conversation, random guys comes all pissed of and asks me to calm down(when I'm calm).

Well I've had Mismagius as a must have plenty of times so to me yes, but like you said it's based on strategy cuz I have swept full OU teams with UUs and NUs. If Mismagius got to be part Fairy would definitely improve it. I don't see Flareon as a viable choice for OU mainly because ,imo, it's move pool sucks and only way I think Flareon is decent is if attach a CB to it. Even then it's hard to sweep teams entirely with it.
My thoughts on new pokemon:
Talonflame-- design looks cool and exciting. Can use brave bird and is the first regional bird (main) to not be normal/flying. I'd call that a success
Vivillon-- cool color scheme, wings sort of shaped as a piano? Could specialize in sound-wave style moves- success
Noivern-- noise and wyvern? Idk abou this one, although interesting dragon is secondary type... This bat seems to different/strang for me, but it looks evolved... [undecided fate, success in progress]
Clauncher-- I dig the colors again, nice to see another crab, this one with a twist... The one larger pincher looks cool, wonder how it deals with the smaller side? Success
Skrelp--(kelp and something) once again switching order of types... I'm no a fan of this one, due to its simplicity and blandness. But the poison typing adds a cool dynamic, but this is the least intriguing IMO... [sucess in progress, to be judged by evolutions]
