Beasts

Tiger
Lion
Panther

Qilin

>>26699407
They're pokemon

Tiger
Chinese lion dog
Wolf

They're beasts.

>>26699428

Farm animals

Goat
Bull

>>26699445
Do you think you are funny?

>>26699407
Literally cats.

Bears.

Kirin, nue, shisa

>>26699472
I thought it was funny

>>26699407
Based on the real-life mythology they're based on, Raikou is a tiger, Entei a lion and Suicune a leopard. Raikou and Entei even looks like cats, though Suicune just looks kinda weird.

>>26699407
I always thought they where originally a Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon.

Because wasn't the legend that 3 pokemon died in a tower fire then Ho-Oh revived them into the new legendary forms. So I always thought they where just 3 eeveeloutions that got reborned.

>>26699407
The beasts Dante saw before Inferno

>>26699426
>>26699475
fuck off

>>26699524
Suicune really fucks up the dynamic

>>26699407

None. They are Pokémon.

>>26699428
this is the only right one

>>26699407

Sabertooth Tiger, Lion, Kirin.

>>26699524
>Based on the real-life mythology they're based on, Raikou is a tiger, Entei a lion and Suicune a leopard.
Source?

>>26699531
They were never Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon.

>>26699531
This would be cool. Then give every eevolution a legendary cat.

Maybe Solgaleo is the legendary cat for the steel eevolution in SM.

>>26699531
I like this theory a lot, but unfortunately due to design elements they're obviously a reborn electabuzz, arcanine, and golduck

Because /vp/ are idiots.

Raikou is a prehistoric sabretooth tiger.

Suicune is a dog.

Entei is fucking weird. Some lion/tiger/dog/cow retard hybrid.

Raikou: Raijin's tiger form with features of a saber tooth cat

Entei: Shi lion with features of a normal lion

Suicune: Qilin with features of a cheetah

>>26700392
The only Correct answer.

>Is thought to have
>It is said that
It's said outright that after Brass Tower burned down, Ho oh came to resurrect the three Pokemon that died there in thee form of the 3 beasts. Then they all skedaddled to run a never ending marathon.

Tiger, Lion, Wolf. It was always pretty fucking obvious.

I remember something posted years ago of some lore about a tiger, lion and wolf in mythology and it could be related to the beasts but I can't remember exactly how it went.

Why, or how, would a Flareon die in a fire?

The building could have collapsed on it. Maybe for maximum overfeels, the flareon was trying to save its siblings from the fire and died when the floor of the tower collapsed.

None of that is true.

flareon and any other Eeveelutions wasn't involved.


You shouldn't believe in unofficial sources and Pokémon theories.

All Pokémon theories are purely Speculation and purely fanon.

>>26701008
very carefully

>>26699407
In my country's official dub they were called the "Legendary Dogs". Though I don't think Raikou is supposed to resemble a dog.

>>26700300
I'm still amused

>>26699428
>Panther
There is no Panther there though.

>>26699407
synapsids

>>26700025
The kimono ladies say otherwise.

>>26702186
They don't say shit about them being Flareon, Jolteon and Vaporeon though.
Not even an implication.

It's literally just your headcanon.

>>26702186
You shouldn't believe in unofficial sources.
BTW, Entei was born from a Volcano.


Flareon was never reborn as a Entei.

Ancient Lions

>>26699407
They're all an amalgam of various beasts.

Raikou: saber tooth tiger
Entei: lion, or Chinese lion dog guardian or Tibetan mastiff
Suicune: dog, wolf, or qilin

>>26702209
>>26702217
I think he's more referring to the Tower Fire. The Eeveelution thing is of course just theory.

>>26702826

People shouldn't believe in it.

>>26701854
That doesn't make them any less interesting. Speculating is a lot of fun -because- it's not official, because you find stuff yourself, because you can think and try to make more or less logical stuff that sometimes end up being really cool.

>>26702990
>Speculating is more than official information?
Sad.

>>26701008
Most people who die in a fire die from oxygen deprivation not the actual burning flames.

>>26703012
People like different things. That's it. People like speculating and making theories, other people like to keep to "confirmed" stuff. Different people, different tastes Richard. I'd rather believe the Kimono girls and the lore of Ecruteak than the pokédex.

>>26699407
Now, this could just be me, I don't know how others see them.. But they look like owls.

Raikou is a Raiju
Entei is a Shisaa
Suicune is ???

It's better to accept the truth than a lie.
Entei was never a Flareon.

>>26703060
But what if it's exciting because it's not been confirmed as true ? It's not a lie, just a theory, and an enjoyable one. I know it's not canon, and I enjoy stuff like that BECAUSE it's not canon. And many people do.

>>26703034
>>26702990
Speculation is all fine and dandy, until faggots start shoving their dumb headcanons down everyones throats as if it were fact and ignore what's official

>>26703034
>"I-it's fun to be an annoying idiot..."

>>26700909

Tiger, Lion, Panther.

>>26703098
I don't ignore what's official, Not-Richard, I'm just trying to explain to him that there are people who find fan-found stuff interesting

>>26700130
Assuming you're the OP, you asked what animals they were based on.
Why would you ask the question if you were going to get angry when people gave their opinions?

>>26699407
>What animals are they?

Why the fuck do people ask this question? They're pokemon.

>>26703139
Doesn't take a genius to know theorizing and speculating is interesting and fun, but in a thread where people are arguing what's fact or not, it's rather irrelevant.

>>26703139
>"m-muh dumb fanfiction"

>>26703160
Eh, Richard seems to be entirely unable to grasp the fact that non-pokédex data can be enjoyable, and I'm the kind that argues with brick walls until they understand. It's worked pretty well with some of my students

Raikou is a wolf
Entei is a bear
Suicune is a cat

I thought this was pretty obvious. Their designs are pretty simple, just with added fluff and masks.

Entei is born from Volcanoes.

Raikou - Liberace's retired performing tiger, now working as an electrician.

Entei - A lion who after watching too many John Cena tapes, wears a Starfish on its face thinking that it will conceal its identity.

Suicune - A former police dog that decided the world had enough justice and needed a new Fabio.

>>26702953
You shouldn't be a fag but here you are. I was just referring to the tower thing.

They appear to be based on a variety of real-world animals with a bit of mythological beasts thrown in. Neither of them draw inspiration from a single animal at all. Ahh, us humans and our need to categorize every little thing.

>>26699407
Walking vaginas

>>26699407
Raikou is based on the "Thunderbeast" often depicted as a tiger.

Suicune is based on a Quilin.

Entei is a guardian lion-dog (which somehow overlaps with Arcanine)

>>26700392
>with features of a normal lion
I don't see the similarities between Entei and Pyroar.

>>26699537

do they have knots?
