When the current coat of arms was revealed to the public, many Disparueans wondered as to why several Pokémon characters were used. Even though the Government has made no comment on this, it seems that the Pokémon-themed coat of arms is an inside joke for the members of the Disparu Committee. Critics who have noticed this have criticized this as an attempt to create a cult of personality around the members of the Committee. The coat of arms is featured on many government offices and institutions, such as court buildings.
