>>28995990.................. Eh, I'll humor your sorry ass with a response.
The Beasts are based on Shiisa, which I'll leave you to look up on your own. If you'd look at the Bulbapedo page, you'd be able to confirm this. In fact, I'll even quote it for you, "you worthless piece of garbage":
Raikou) particularly based on the Thunder and Lightning gods of most cultures surrounding the world, mostly the 雷獣 raijū (lit. thunder beast), a thunder demon of Japanese lore and is said to be Raijin's companion
Suicune) thought to be based on numerous creatures and mythological deities, mainly the Qilin or "Kirin", an Eastern legend that has traits of chinese dragons, unicorns, deer, big cats, and other beasts
Entei) based on Chinese guardian lions, or Lions of Foo, creatures that resemble fully grown male lions
NEXT!
You've already managed to admit Ho-oh complies, so I don't have to look that one up for you!
Lugia) be based on Ryūjin, a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea
Next, I suppose I must confirm that Johto is actually based with a traditional japanese theme in mind. I also suppose that you haven't played the games, so I guess you don't remember the architecture in: Violet City, Ilex Forest, Ecruteak City, Cianwood City, Mahogany Town, and possibly more that I may be forgetting. Yes, I am referring to the more current HGSS versions.
Well, I could be missing some other details, but I do believe I've absolutely crushed you beyond recognition at this point.
In summary, you dumb af my nigga.
