This is a toy full-stack ML app. It takes your text prompt as input and uses three models to produce four sample Pokémon card images:

1. StableDiffusion fine-tuned on Pokemon images

2. a basic RNN for Pokémon name generation

3. a basic OpenCV background-removal model.

The results can be occassionally excellent. Some recent good prompts from users are:

- automobile with wings

- water pokemon with two heads and amphibian legs

- jeff bezos

- phil collins

Other good previous prompts are provided as auto-complete options. My favorite prompt at the moment is 'Willy Wonka Cat' because the model nails the combination of Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka outfit and a typical feline Pokémon form.

There's really no interesting technical innovation in this demo. It's just a hopefully interesting combination of stuff that already exists. It's become so easy to stick together ML models, often without training most or all of them yourself.
