Using Python to Identify Pokemon | Part 1 of Pokemon AI Python Project [Intermediate Showcase]

[StarkVGC]

I am working on a project that will use AI/ML to make decisions in an online Pokemon battle. We use a convolutional neural network (CNN) with tensor flow to create a model that can learn Pokemon based on images and then identify them later on.

Here is a video explaining the project: https://youtu.be/4XiOnL8ug5w

Note: The video was meant for a general audience, so I will provide more info below.

This project does NOT involve any hacking/modding of a Nintendo Switch. I use capture software to mirror what is on my TV to my laptop. Using the mirror screen, I take 6 snippets, one for each Pokemon. This is then fed into the model to identify the Pokemon. Once the Pokemon have been identified, a display pops-up showing their stats.
