# 🧬 Pokémon Image Generator with Stable Diffusion 🎨

This is a Gradio web application that generates Pokémon-style character images from text prompts.#

## 📌 What It Does

- 🔥 Takes a text prompt (e.g. "fire fox with blue flames")
- 🎨 Generates an original Pokémon-style creature

🧠 Model Details

This project uses a fine-tuned version of the Stable Diffusion v1.5 model, originally based on [`runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5`](https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5) (now offline).  
The fine-tuned model is available here:  
👉 [`nikkijiang/sd-pokemon-generator`](https://huggingface.co/nikkijiang/sd-pokemon-generator)


## 📚 Training Datasets

The model was fine-tuned using image-caption datasets of Pokémon-style creatures:

- [lambdalabs/pokemon-blip-captions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lambdalabs/pokemon-blip-captions)  
- [42arch/pokemon-dataset-zh](https://github.com/42arch/pokemon-dataset-zh)

These datasets include curated images of Pokémon-like monsters with captions, enabling text-to-image training in a stylized domain.

## 🖼️ Example Prompts

Try prompts like:

- `lovely cat, wings, shining`
- `flower dog, big eyes, long ear`
- `cute, rabbit, pink, attack`
- `bird with red hat and coat, real`
