# Dataset Card for pokemon-images-dataset

### Dataset Summary

A collection of images featuring Pokémon characters.

## Dataset Creation

### Context

I collected this dataset for my school project. The project is to train GAN to generate new Pokemon. I had a difficult time finding a training dataset that is complete and clean. So I gather this collection of images and publish it here hoping that it will help others who need a similar dataset.

You can find my project on my [Github][1]
My latest code to generate pokemon [Github][4]


### Content

819 transparent Pokemon images in png format size 256x256.

* Update August 10, 2020
819 white background in jpg format


### Acknowledgements

I collected the image mostly from this website [https://veekun.com/dex/downloads][2]

Banner image is taken from [https://viking011.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-Poster-436455502][3]


### Inspiration

Since I failed to generate new Pokemon with clarity (I can only generate the shape) I wish there will be others that could do it with this dataset. If you managed to, please share it!
