the 3 legendary... dogs? cats?

[AuraWolf]

Maybe a mix beetween a male lion and a bear?
But please can people get their animal facts right.One fact is that bears dont "roar" and i know in the old games of pokemon that the cats barked but in the new games like diamond etc they say they ROAR and from what i've heared only BIG CATS roar.
But Raikou could easily be based on Raijuu. A japanese legend involving a animal made of lightning that can transforme into a TIGER. Entei could be a shishi (lion god) and Suicune could be a Wolf/Cheetah/Snow Leopard cross.

I say they are cats, because thats what they look like.

 

[Ayindree]

Dogs, that's what the Dex entries say, or at least the G/S/C ones. P:

yes, they do, but have you ever seen that standing in D/P games?
non of us had or have or has ( my gramar sucks 0.o )

 

[Connor™]

well i think there almost certainly either dogs/ beats because theres no way you'd ever see a cat as beefy as entei or raikou (not counting lions) as tigers etc are sleeker like suicune who could just be an exception through and through as the other two are attacking pokemon and suicune is a defensive one and looks almost nothing ilke the others. well thats what i think anyways although im probably wrong -_-;

 

[Mrmagius]

I always thought that they were more feline than canine, afterall I can see how oen could think that Suicune, and possibly even Entei, was a dog. But seriously, what the hell kind o' canine is Raikou supposed to be?!?

 

[antnie]

They have more cat like features but I think they are called the legendary dogs.

 

[blackrose]

i think most peopel refer to them as dogs, but i think it chould be beasts because they are a combination of dogs and cats.

 

[Char1016]

Since they're pretty big it makes me call them beasts xD

 

[The Unknown Twinkie]

They are dogs becuse they cant run like cats or others type of animals

 

[dark7days]

dogs, i believe that i read something or hearing the show calling them the three legendary dogs

 

[Evil Sonic]

I say beasts cause Entei and Raikou are dogs because they bark, but Suicune is a cheetah, because I checked Suicune's Pokedex entries and none said it barks.

And a lot of Pokemon can Roar, like Zangoose and Persian. And they both are cat or cat-like Pokemon.

 

[Jdrawer]

They obviously dogs. Andy one who would call them cats beasts gerbils or something else is just saying that cause theyre simalar. Thats like calling a giraffe a beagle cause they're both quadrepeds.

 

[rukario590720]

Suicune and Entei look like dogs but Raikou looks more like a tiger. So i think they're beasts

 

[Jerre]

They are most referred as dogs. But more with some Beast-like appereances.

 

[KyogreSuicune]

Dogs because they don't look cats.

 

[yiazmat]

legendary cats

cats because entei = lion, raikou = tiger/leopard, suicune = puma.

 

[Mr.Palkia_7389]

Cats don't roar do they. Shut up I know that Lions and tigers and big cats do.

Yes thats why I said they're cats not dogs

 

[Mew_Myuu]
