Talk:Entei

You need to clarify about the legendaries Entei, Suicune and Raikou being dogs. In the reviews translation for the Pokemon 3 movie, from Japanese, Entei was addressed as a lion-like creature. I don't think I ever saw a dog with long fangs like Entei and Raikou. Suicune though is more like a dog. But the reviews on these pages about Entei, they couldn't all be lying.

I don't want to be a pain but I want to see proof from the Pokemon Company itself whether the legendaries Entei, Suicune and Raikou are all dogs. Since there is a lot of noise being made about this all over the web, I believe someone has to come up with the answer, with proof.

Now if you believe this is a matter of public opinion, or internet polls, kindly say so in this page or the general legendary dogs page!

I just want to remind you that references are needed for definite allegations on what is what, or who is who.

This is my research by popular internet Pokemon 3 movie reviews:

1. Says: "A lion-like "legendary" Pokemon called Entei is created from her fantasies to protect her, and things generally get out of hand because Molly is 5 and isn't all that concerned with what her imagination is doing to the rest of the world." 

2. Says: "This time, the Pokemon are Entei, a lion-like creature, and the Unown, small, letter-like eyes. A scientist researching these Pokemon goes missing, leaving his young daughter Molly alone." 

3. Says: "The plot quickly devolves into a sense-numbing succession of showdowns between such mutant creatures as the lion-ish Entei and the dragon-ian Charizard. It's enjoyable only if you're under the age of 7 -- or the influence of psychedelic drugs." 

4. Says: "Hale either reappears as a new lion-esque Pokemon called Entei, or else he doesn't; the movie is not clear on this point. At any rate, Entei appears (and either is or isn't the reincarnation of Hale) and visits Hale's now-orphaned daughter, Molly, whose imagination combines with the Unown to turn her house into a crystal fortress, which draws the attention of the news media and a bunch of Pokemon-collecting kids.

Additional comments from non-review sources:


 * All Experts Says: "Raikou does look like a sabertooth to me, Entei does indeed look like some sort of mythical lion, and Suicune looks more like an artic wolf to me."


 * Absolute Anime Says: "Some think the three legendary beasts are dogs, but it's much more likely they're from the feline family seeing as how Entei looks like a lion and Raikou looks like a tiger."
