According to Pokémon lore, Entei and two other Pokémon, Raikou and Suicune, were reincarnated by the legendary bird Ho-Oh into their current forms following their doom in a tragic fire in the Brass Tower of Ecruteak City in the Johto region of the world in-game. There is speculation as to what their original forms were and if the Legendary Beasts represent anything in the lore. Many people have theorized that the three beasts were once of the Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon species, respectively. Other theories about the beasts include that they represent the specific tragic events of the fire that burned down the Brass Tower (perhaps as a testament to the hubris of humans). As is the case with many different theories in the franchise, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have not confirmed nor denied any of these theories listed.
