Introducing a Dynamic Pokémon-Inspired GitHub Profile Card Generator for Your README
Are you looking to add some personality and flair to your GitHub profile? I’ve recently developed a custom tool that transforms your profile into an animated, Pokémon-themed showcase—perfectly tailor-made for inclusion in your README files.
What’s This Tool About?
- Eye-catching, animated profile cards designed to enhance your GitHub profile’s visual appeal.
- A selection of 18 unique Pokémon types to customize your card’s style.
- Real-time display of your GitHub statistics, including followers, repositories, stars, and recent activity.
- Seamless integration directly within your README files—no need for external images or screenshots.
- Your profile picture is embedded automatically as a base64 image, ensuring a neat, self-contained card.
How to Get Started
Adding this feature to your profile is straightforward. Simply insert the following Markdown snippet into your README, replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username:
markdown
You can customize the Pokémon type by changing the type parameter:
- Fire:
?type=fire - Water:
?type=water - Electric:
?type=electric - Dragon:
?type=dragon - And more—up to 18 different types!

Why This Project Exists
Most existing solutions for enhancing GitHub profiles rely on static images or external hosting services, which can be cumbersome or outdated. My tool generates a pure SVG directly from the data, ensuring your profile remains dynamic and up-to-date—all without leaving GitHub or adding external dependencies.
Would you consider incorporating a Pokémon-themed profile card into your GitHub profile? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
