Oh, so you're moving this to a new thread, are ya?
Let me spell this out for you, real simple like. Most, if not all, Pokemon, are conglomerations of real life creatures. The ones you've posted above have traits from big cats, wolves, bears, other carnivores, and mythological creatures from Japan. In order to avoid confusion or autism, a universal term, the word "Beasts", can be introduced into the situation. It is illogical to try and label fictional composite creatures as something as rigidly defined as a "cat" or "dog".
They are the Legendary Beasts.
