I built a Pokémon-style GitHub profile card generator – 18 types, real-time stats, works in READMEs

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

Are you looking to add some fun and personality to your GitHub profile? I’ve developed a unique, Pokémon-themed profile card generator that seamlessly integrates into your README files, offering live stats and vibrant animations. Here’s what makes this tool stand out:

Transform Your README with Animated Profiles

  • Beautiful, animated profile cards styled after Pokémon types
  • 18 distinct Pokémon types to personalize your card
  • Real-time display of your GitHub metrics—followers, stars, repositories, and recent activity
  • No external images or screenshots needed—everything is embedded directly into your README
  • Your avatar is incorporated as a base64-encoded image for a clean look

Getting Started is Simple

Just insert the following code snippet into your profile README, replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub handle:

markdown
![My GitHub Stats](https://animated-profile-stats.vercel.app/api/card?username=YOUR_USERNAME&type=fire)

Customize your profile by selecting different Pokémon types, such as:

  • Fire: ?type=fire
  • Water: ?type=water
  • Electric: ?type=electric
  • Dragon: ?type=dragon

Why I Created This

Many existing tools depend on external hosting or require screenshots to showcase your GitHub stats. My solution generates an SVG that embeds directly within your README, displaying live data fetched directly from the GitHub API for an interactive and visually engaging profile badge.

Would you consider customizing your GitHub profile with a dynamic, Pokémon-themed card? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
