I disagree with you, Pokewarrior. There is no need to change the flag. It will just raise work for us mods. (reserved for John) 1 (20%)

So when I looked at the description of the Godian National Flag, I found that it's colours and such were a bit too bland (ONLY BLACK AND WHITE) so I thought why not to spice it up a bit and make it colourful and beautiful.

The slanting lines are always shaky in paint. I'll change that once you approve the flags.

Orange is a colour which I think signifies the Eastern Hemisphere of the World. Thus I gave the right part of the flag the colour orange since the right side stands for East Godai. I made it a bit darker than the default Microsoft Paintbrush shade of Orange since the Chinese go better with red. Orange also represents India and Hinduism. And after all, the sun rises in the east and when it does, the sky turns a beautiful orange.

I coloured the bottom part black since:

1. It creates a good contrast with the white and other colours of the flag and
2. The down part represents South Godai. High sun, high melanin, black colour, nuff said. And don't think I am racist; I love the colour black and I want my complexion to become black too.

The left part is brown since it represents West Godai. West Godai is famous for its mining business which equals a lot of dirt and dust and the colour brown. Thus, brown represents West Godai. And again, brown is a dominant landscape colour in the 'Wild West'.

The upper part is that icy blue kinda colour. It is extremely cold in North Godai and ice is dominant, so that colour.

Central:

Central is coloured differently in every flag. Here's the explanation:

Flag One: Central Godai always reminds me of the colour green. Maybe because whenever I picture the cities in Central, I think of heavy traffic, neat homes and lots of trees and gardens. Maybe the words 'Lady Shizune Gardens' , 'Meadowplain Trail' and 'Verdant Highlands' have had their effect on me. But nevertheless this is Central.

Flag Two: The same as above but this time I made the boundaries in Central magically disappear for unity nerds and those who picture this place as a complete region.

Flag Three: White is an authoritarian colour in my opinion. It reminds me of clean white government buildings. And then there's the White House. It is also said to be the mix of all colours, which can account for Central's diversity. Then for the authority part, I believe that most of Godai's government offices including the Godian capital which John hides in his dinner plate is there in Central. There's always the possibility since the Elite Four and Champion are housed there. Thus, white.

I posted this in the Artist Centre and not in the Suggestions and Questions forum since:

1. this is a work of art,
2. the mods are obviously gonna ignore this as unimportant trash and
3. writing sarcastically is fun and there's no fun in the latter forum. Not a reason anyways.

Please give me your opinions.

Firstly, remove the profanity from the poll, it's unprofessional.

Secondly, do you not find it ironic that you include the motto "we are one" and then make every section of the flag different and separated. The simplistic duality of the colors are intentional and your revisions do not fit with the plot, history, and setting in general.

I would suggest you put your efforts elsewhere from trying to change the setting to fit your visions.

I really respect your enthusiasm to try and help us and add exciting new ideas to the site, and I speak for us all when I say that we truly do appreciate it. However, some ideas are trying to fix or improve things that don't necessarily need approving.

The symbol of the Godai flag is in black and white because those colours symbolise the opposite, yet also being one and the same. This is a tradition, not only in Godai, but in many cultures across the world dating back for ages.

Your ideas are nice, but the thing that confuses me is that they are all one, yet they are five different colours which almost make them seem divided and separate.
