## Model Description

This model is a fine-tuned version of Stable Diffusion v1.5, specifically trained to generate high-quality Pokémon images. It can produce Pokémon in various artistic styles, from photorealistic renders to cartoon styles, cyberpunk aesthetics to watercolor art.

The model was fine-tuned for 15,000 steps on the [reach-vb/pokemon-blip-captions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/reach-vb/pokemon-blip-captions) dataset, allowing it to learn the distinctive features and characteristics of different Pokémon species while maintaining the generative capabilities of the base model.

### Training Details

The model was trained using the following configuration:
```bash
accelerate launch train_text_to_image.py \
  --pretrained_model_name_or_path="stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5" \

  --gradient_accumulation_steps=4 \
  --max_train_steps=15000 \
  --learning_rate=1e-05 \
  --max_grad_norm=1 \
  --lr_scheduler="constant" \
  --lr_warmup_steps=0 \
  --output_dir="sd-pokemon-model" \
  --report_to tensorboard
```

Key training parameters:

## Usage

You can use this model with the Diffusers library:

```python
import torch
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline

# Load the model
model_path = "path/to/PokemonStable-v1-5"  # Replace with actual path
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    model_path,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    safety_checker=None  # Set to None to disable safety checker
)

# Move to GPU if available
if torch.cuda.is_available():
    pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

# Generate image
prompt = "A cute Pikachu playing in a grassy field, high resolution, detailed"
image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_inference_steps=50,
    guidance_scale=7.5
).images[0]

# Save image
image.save("generated_pokemon.png")
```

### Advanced Usage with Custom Scheduler

You can also customize the scheduler for different generation qualities:

```python
from diffusers import StableDiffusionPipeline, DPMSolverMultistepScheduler
import torch

model_path = "path/to/PokemonStable-v1-5"  # Replace with actual path

# Load model
pipe = StableDiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    model_path, 
    torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    safety_checker=None
)

# Replace scheduler for faster inference
pipe.scheduler = DPMSolverMultistepScheduler.from_config(
    pipe.scheduler.config,
    algorithm_type="dpmsolver++",
    solver_order=2
)

# Move to GPU
pipe = pipe.to("cuda")

# Generate with fewer steps
prompt = "A majestic Charizard in battle stance, fire breathing, detailed scales, epic lighting"
image = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    num_inference_steps=25,  # Fewer steps needed with DPM-Solver++
    guidance_scale=7.5
).images[0]

image.save("charizard_dpm_solver.png")
```

## Prompt Engineering Tips

For optimal results, consider the following prompt engineering techniques:

1. **Specify Pokémon Names**: Include specific Pokémon names like "Pikachu", "Bulbasaur", "Charizard", etc.
2. **Add Scene Descriptions**: Describe the environment, such as "in a forest", "in battle", "sleeping", etc.
3. **Include Style Descriptors**: Add style terms like "high resolution", "detailed", "cartoon style", etc.
4. **Emotional Context**: Include emotional states like "happy", "angry", "cute", etc.
5. **Artistic Techniques**: Specify art styles like "watercolor", "oil painting", "digital art", etc.
6. **Lighting and Atmosphere**: Describe lighting conditions like "sunset", "moonlight", "studio lighting", etc.
7. **Composition Guidelines**: Add terms like "rule of thirds", "dynamic pose", "close-up shot", etc.

## Limitations

- The model may occasionally generate Pokémon with anatomical inaccuracies
- Text rendering within images may be illegible or distorted
- Complex compositions with multiple Pokémon may not always position them correctly
- The model performs best with English prompts
- As with all Stable Diffusion models, it inherits certain biases and limitations from the base model
- The safety checker may occasionally filter legitimate content; it can be disabled but use with caution

## Ethical Considerations

This model is intended for creative and artistic purposes only. Users should:

- Respect the intellectual property rights of The Pokémon Company and Nintendo
- Avoid generating harmful, offensive, or inappropriate content
- Not use generated images for commercial purposes without proper licensing
- Be transparent about AI-generated content when sharing

## License
