You can use Text-to-Pokémon to plug in any name or description you want, and it will generate a pokémon matching your prompt.

The model's output isn't perfect, but it's entertaining If you want to tickle your personal fancy, you can try punching in the names of celebrities or politicians, or just general descriptions of the kind of pokémon that would tickle your fancy.

It's a good idea to use the tool more efficiently by selecting "4" from the "num_outputs" drop-down menu.

A “skeleton priest” pokémon created using the Text-to-Pokémon tool.

The model is the work of a machine learning researcher named Justin Pinkney. This model is adapted from a bigger and more powerful art generator called Stable Diffusion. Stable Diffusion is an open source program that makes it easy for others to fiddle with its output. Pinkney used a database of pokémon to fine- tune the system and create this tool.

Text-to-Pokémon has been used to make many mash-ups, including Jesus H. Christ himself. The dual psychic is known for his signature move, "Resurrection."

Pinkney went into more detail on how he made the tool in a thread on the social networking site.

"Stable Diffusion is a great model, but getting a certain style of output is pretty tricky, it usually needs some serious 'prompt engineering' (which I am rubbish at)" If you have some data, fine tuning the model is a good way to focus on what you want. I adjusted the original stable on a Pokemon data set.

People come up with fun little tools like this when they use open-sourced models. Stable Diffusion can be used to generate violent and sexual imagery, as well as misinformation and non consensual pornography. You can read more about the tradeoffs and why the model was released.
