The argument on the Legendary Beasts in GSC

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 13:28:39

It occasionally flares up and makes me >=(

...Although I do wonder why people see Legendary Dogs as a viable option. You could interpret Suicune as a Wolf and Entei as some sort of guard dog, but Raikou is so obviously a sabre tooth tiger that it hurts

>.> I even did research to defuse one argument over it to find out exactly what the hell each one was

mst3kluv · 2011-12-21 13:30:57

I thought they were dogs.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-12-21 13:35:23

I never saw why they all had to be the same thing. I mean, Entei looks like a dog and Raikou looks like a tiger, so why can't Entei be a dog and Raikou be a tiger?

Crimson · 2011-12-21 13:37:14

I've heard people justify them being cats by calling Entei a lion and Suicune a panther.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-12-21 13:38:12

I think it was ruled that they are gerbils.

Crimson · 2011-12-21 13:39:16

^

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-12-21 13:40:19

^That's the standard compromise I've heard.

Crimson · 2011-12-21 13:42:53

I've heard it before, but almost always by people who were kidding/trolling.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-12-21 13:43:27

I didn't say it was serious :P

Firebert · 2011-12-21 13:43:38

It manages to stop the arguing, so it's all good.

Saigyouji · 2011-12-21 13:49:29

It's /obvious/ that they're all chinchillas.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-12-21 13:50:50

But what if they're actually wombats or capybaras?

Forzare · 2011-12-21 13:50:55

No.

They are clearly hamsters.

What kind of idiots are you people?

All Nines · 2011-12-21 13:57:47

Guys. Your thinking is far too narrow.

They're birds. Just like the previous generation.

nohaynicklibre · 2011-12-21 13:59:44

>Implying owls are birds

Firebert · 2011-12-21 14:01:42

I thought they were Pokemon, myself.

Forzare · 2011-12-21 14:02:09

^ Pfffffffffft.

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 14:03:15

INUH: Exactly. But some people don't accept Beasts as good enough

Saigyouji · 2011-12-21 14:06:59

All three are beets.

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 14:08:31

^ Nah. That's the Regis

Crimson · 2011-12-21 14:10:42

Registeel struck me as more of an onion than anything.

Saigyouji · 2011-12-21 14:11:24

But there are /four/ Regis.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-12-21 14:11:56

^^A Nazi onion.

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 14:33:45

One is an onion, one is a beet, one is a rutabega, and one is a potato

glennmagusharvey · 2011-12-21 14:37:22

I think articuno is a blue cardinal.

Mewtwo is probably partly descended from .hack//'s Macha.

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 14:40:06

^ Actually Articuno is a kind of mythical bird like how Moltres is a Phoenix and Zapdos is a Thunderbird

I forget what mythical bird Articuno is however. I recall that it is known for its long tail and is possibly Egyptian

Edit: Also my research says Entei is a Shishi (guardian stone lion), Raikou is a Raiju (A thunderbeast that can take the form of things from a monkey to a wolf to a tiger), and Suicune is either a Kirin (basically a mishmash of things from deer to dragons to goats - Arceus is also a Kirin) or based on a wind deity that can don the skin of a big cat (I forget which one - I THINK it was a leopard) and bolt all over the place

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-12-21 14:42:42

Articuno appears to be kinda a mix of things, according to Bulbapedia. But it's most similar to an Anka or a Roc.

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 14:46:22

^ Anka! THAT'S the one I was thinking of!

DYRE · 2011-12-21 19:10:32

Er... why does it matter? >.>

Icalasari · 2011-12-21 19:17:27

^ Because *shrugs*

Waltzy · 2011-12-22 03:05:47

Suicune = Panther

Raikou = Tiger

Entei = Lion

Legendary cats, right? That's what I always thought. Never knew this was apparently a "thing". XD

Howdy, Stranger!
