April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI'll give that it's a cutey. But it's certainly not very imaginative. At all. Almost offensively so for a pokemon. Yup, lets just slap some pigtails on it and call it a day. Certainly is gonna be a fun pick for the furry art from the looks of it though. I really hope it pulls a poplilo and gets a good evolution to make up for it.

MemberSure am. Played it. Loved it. But it was gen 1. The first batch. Of course there were some underwhelming ones. The designs should (and did) improve. Look at a mareep.

or just this nice picture post #1893693
Note that both are based on sheep. But mareep clearly has a uniqueness that wooloo lacks. The wool, the tail, the ears,skin all make it stand out. You could look at each of these not even knowing they were pokemon and would likely pick the mareep thinking the other came from a children's book. Like I felt before with poplio before it, wooloo is ok but they could have done just a little bit more for it and that's what I think.
