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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI don't see how Arcanine is USA's pokemon.
Even Braviary seems to fit better.

MemberStrong, unforgiving attack dogs... seems about right for the US. Trust me, living in texas you will know that a huge fire breathing attack dog fits perfectly with this nation.

MemberHahah! Britain as Zoroark! Nice. Would prefer Lucario but hey, Zoroark's just as cool ;)

MemberBritain as Zoroark? Really? Come on! We're much better than tha-... Oh right... Original USA...

MemberInstead of Arcanine, they should have done magikarp. We're pathetic, but once you mention resources, we will constantly bother you for them. After a while we then declare war on you.

MemberI think Zoroark would be more fitting for France

MemberWouldn't Weezing be better for China, US, and Germany for 3 different reasons?

PrivilegedYeah, but it fits for wayyyyy too many industrialized nations just for the pollution one. Everyone from India to Indonesia has been on the whole air pollution gig. It's harder to name a large country where it ISN'T applicable, either from human or natural sources of air pollution. Got volcanoes? Don't even have to be industrialized!

MemberWhat about Galarian Weezing?
Regarding picture, for Hungary though, I feel like Sceptile would be a better fit, though it could also be a good fit for Romania.
I think Hawlucha could represent Russia.
I think Umbreon could represent countries that have 24 hours of nighttime, like this one
Overall, the representations are pretty good.
