LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 This one is very close for me, but Arcanine barely edges it out. Might change my mind later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I put my vote in for the real legendary dog. Ultra-sweet in competitive, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm torn between the two of these choices; damn you RNG! Should I vote for my favorite non-legendary Fire Pokémon (I think I put that down when I answered your question in AMA) or the saber tiger (as homage to my alma mater)? Tough call, but I nominated Raikou so guess it's getting vote today. Sorry Arcanine, I still love you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Arcanine's definitely one of my favorites from Gen I (alongside Starmie, Scyther, and to an extent Gengar), so it's getting my vote here. It would have been more difficult had the matchup been Suicune rather than Raikou :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not gonna vote for the "legit" legendary because I like Arcanine more. Arcanine gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 If Raikou loses, I won't feel upset. Any one of these two advancing will be fine, considering I like both of them equally. (And hopefully that shirt I have of Arcanine is finished drying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesability Black Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 *sees subtitle of poll* ...oh, sure, cheap-shot me right in the school pride with that one. I didn't even know Raikou WAS a tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Technically it's not official what Raikou or the others two are. There has been theories they are canine or feline creatures and both seem to make sense. So they are likely based on multiple creatures. Which is why they are called the legendary beasts officially I believe. Though Raikou in particular looks quite tiger-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Bulbapedia says Raikou is based on a saber tiger to some extent (and parts of a Bengal one). I remember at some point, they were called legendary dogs [which definitely isn't present in Raikou; other two maybe] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I knew I'd find it. If you have time to read it, check this out it's very interesting. Basically they're based on multiple things possibly. But yes, Raikou is mostly tiger-like. http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/144/1/f/on_entei__raikou_and_suicune_by_shadeofshinon-d7jjdr3.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Either way though, Raikou is losing 11-5 right now. There's still about 20-21 hours left to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 With the 28th match drawing to the close, the one advancing is the regal dog himself, Arcanine. Another nomination out, but Arcanine is just as good (and for technical reasons, I put it in there b/c after reading matches, two of the nominations were listed twice [bound to happen with 100+ things to read.) Oh and relevant victory pic for winner: (Yeah, it's my selfie pic, except I cropped only T-shirt b/c of Arcanine's image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
