::: I agree with GreatLiver. While I did not notice the similarities to the American flag (which I think do exist), I do agree that it has far more to do with Native American culture than contemporary American culture (who's flag colors are actually based on those of the French Revolution, and not their Native neighbors). Also consider that during the time of western expansion, many Native American tribes considered war to be a major part of their culture, and would probably wear such headdresses as Wargle bears during raids, combats, and rituals preparing for them.

:::: I also agree with this. Never before in Pokēmon has there been any reference or stab at a specific country, or any homages to real life nationalities. There has, however, been homages to mythological creatures, ancient cultures, and the garbs that they might wear. Look at Ludicolo. We don't say "Ooh, he's obviously Mexican." He's based on a clothing style the people wear, but he has otherwise no correlation to them. Wargle, like Ludicolo, seems to be based on a clothing style of the Native Americans, in this case, the war headdress. His coloration, while having some similarities to the US colors, are too vague to be assumed as an obvious reference to the US. And besides, Pokēmon tend to stay clear of the political affairs that plague governments. | |||
