Arcanine was originally planned to be a legendary pokemon, and the "leader" of the birds, so to speak. That's why Arcanine is the legendary pokemon.

>tfw arcanine's one of my favorites and I can use it in the battle maison and OU since it's not legendary
Thank goodness

Because the Japs have legendary and mystical Pokémon.

Basically all the roaming legendaries, the birds and other weaker legendaries are consider mystical because they're pretty rare but not legendary.

Arcanine more less fits into that as well.

In the beta of the old Red and Blue, Arcanine was a legendary.

He was also going to be named Blaze.

I remember hearing back in the day that Arcanine, Zapdos and Articuno were the original RBY trio of legendaries. Moltres was created when it was realised that the other two were birds and thus it would make more sense for the third one to be a bird. Growlithe was created as a pre-evo for the now non-legendary Arcanine.

OTOH I heard this in the school playground when I was ten as a justification for "why Moltres is so shit" so it's probably not true

I've heard this theory advanced before, but it has one major flaw:

Gold and Silver must have been in development when they started making the anime, because Ho-oh. This means that RBY must have been completed long ago, the finished game did not have Arcanine as a legendary so why would they have gone back to something from the beta for this one scene?

No, in the beta of Red and Green. Red and Green were never released outside of Japan and third version, Blue, was released internationallty as Red and Blue.

I think to think there's a region in South America somewhere with one Arcanine running around and people mistake it for a legendary.

Episode one:
>It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997 and in the United States on September 8, 1998.
Generation II:
>The games, initially named directly as "Pocket Monsters 2", were set for release in late 1997, but were pushed back to 1999 with the intention to redevelop the games to work with the Game Boy Color better.
There's no source on that, though.

It's not legendary in the same sense as other pokemon.

Though, if you do notice, none of its stats can actually be considered low. Not even pokemon like Volcarona can say that.

Why are there 2 legendary fire birds? Moltres which is probably based on a Phoenix/Benu and Ho-oh which is Feng Huang/Ho-oh, when we will have a Suzaku and Garuda Pokemon then?
With arcanine as a legendary we would have 2 legendary fire dogs...

At least ExtremeSpeed was Arcanine's signature move... just for Gold and Silver.

That Dratini in Crystal, having a Signature move just for the first half of any generation must be pretty sad.

Somewhere on Dogasu's site he's got a scan promoting both the upcoming second gen (Ho-Oh included) and the upcoming anime

So Ho-Oh was already generally known in Japan when it appeared in the anime
