Bramblin appears to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s — certain types of plants which, when mature, have most of their cells dry out and die so that the wind can pick them up and allow them to disperse their seeds, hence Bramblin's {{t|Ghost}} type and Ability. Bramblin's secondary Ghost type may also be derived from the association of tumbleweeds with {{wp|ghost town}}s and empty deserts. | Bramblin appears to be based on {{wp|tumbleweed}}s — certain types of plants which, when mature, have most of their cells dry out and die so that the wind can pick them up and allow them to disperse their seeds, hence Bramblin's {{t|Ghost}} type and Ability.

Bramblin's cry is reminiscent of the whistling sound at the beginning of {{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (theme)|the theme from}} ''{{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly}}'', perhaps alluding to the tumbleweed being a common sight in {{wp|spaghetti Western}} movie scenes. | Bramblin's cry is reminiscent of the whistling sound at the beginning of {{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (theme)|the theme from}} ''{{wp|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly}}'', perhaps alluding to the tumbleweed being a common sight in {{wp|spaghetti Western}} movie scenes. Bramblin not knowing where it is going may also reference the drifter character archetype that is a staple of the Western genre. | ||
