Enhance Your GitHub Profile with a Custom Pokémon-Inspired Profile Card Generator

This solution seamlessly integrates dynamic stats and vibrant visuals directly into your repository readme files.

The Motivation Behind This Creation

Many existing tools rely on static images or external hosting, which can be cumbersome. My generator produces pure SVG graphics that integrate flawlessly into GitHub readme files, pulling live data directly from the GitHub API. This means your profile profile stays current and visually appealing without clutter.
