>legendary catsHave I been Mandela'd?
AHHHH STOP GASLIGHTING ME
if this isn't bait, here's the skinny:>they were originally designed to be ambiguous beasts, able to be seen as dogs, cats, or else.>Entei is explicitly both a lion and a big dog like a mastiff.>Raikou is based on a Raiju, which can be interpreted as either a dog, cat, or other. It also takes inspiration from saber-toothed cats, jaguars, leopards, cheetah, etc.>Suicune is a qilin/kirin, which is most accurately a bad interpretation of a giraffe, and it was mixed with various dog and cat features like the others.>there was no official word of their origin for decades because gf>arguments for those many years. I was team cat: Lion, sabertooth, cheetah. Those were my thoughts.>people wind up joking about it, there's a common meme of calling them the "legendary hamsters" because people couldn't agree on what they were.>info comes out. Turns out they're ambiguous, like said above.>that's it.
>>59203564Shit, I haven't heard the term Legendary Hamsters in years, that's a deep cut. Think I'll start calling them that again cause it's funny as shit
>>59203554>legendary catsAlways have been.You would have to be a retard to think otherwise, just look at Raikou and tell me that it is not a tiger.
>>59203886Look at Suicune and tell me that's a leopard
>>59203554For like 25 years people are saying they're dogs and are being corrected that they're cats...
>>59203560>>59203554Raikou's a cat(raiju), suicune's a dog(makami), Entei is both(komainu)
da dinodaurs :o
>>59203895Kill yourself faggot

>>59203554People called them "legendary dogs" at first because the GS sprites were really ass and made them look a lot more dog-like. Later on, once we actually saw proper art of them, people realized that they're more similar to cats than dogs, but the name stuck around.Either way, the correct term is Legendary Beasts because they're all based on multiple animals or creatures.
