On the bright side, at least Entei didn't kidnap your mom and try to turn the world into a horrible crystal nightmare apocalypse.
Aside from that, I love the lore surrounding the legendary beasts as well because I am a huge goddamn nerd and I get really excited about pokemon mythology. Supposedly, when the Brass Tower burned down three pokemon were trapped inside, and then Ho-oh resurrected them and that's why they stand in the basement all day, and also why Ho-oh left. Some have hypothesized that these original three pokemon may actually have been a Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon, both to coincide with the elemental typing of Entei, Raikou and Suicune, but also because of the associationg between the Burned Tower and the Kimono Girls, who all train the eeveelutions exclusively.
And that opens up so many new questions. Ho-oh can make other pokemon legendaries? Ho-oh can literally raise the dead? Does this mean there are, in fact, multiples of some legendaries, or are these the only legendary beasts? The franchise has always been super unclear about that and contradicts itself regularly.
Anyway I'll shut up before I start rambling about Sinnoh again.
