Saddam Hussein

Saddam Hussein is one of Owen's Pidgeys. There's a bit of a theme of naming Pidgeys after terrible human beings (Adolf Hitler, Hannibal Lecter, Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un, Herobrine) but however, Joseph Stalin is a Poliwag, some kind of politicla statement? or was it 4 AM when Owen named them? (It was 4 AM).
