It is a new trend going around where everyone is putting images through an anime AI where the AI in question 'anime-fies' in and I must admit, the results are breathtaking!!!

Today, I've put our Scarlet Violet Gymleaders through the AI and the results are interesting to say the least.

1. Katy

The AI turned Katy into a younger woman and I absolutely love it!!! She's so beautiful and it looks so clean! There's a small hiccup in there where the AI thought Katy's Chef hat is instead a Sun hat but it still looks phenomenal either way.

2. Brassius

Brassius looks painfully younger in the AI image, cause I feel Brassius being older adds to his character and charm, but I won't deny I like the AIs take on him. He still has his crazy green hair and intimidating expression. The AI outfit on him looks more practical too. Is it wrong to say I now want Brassius to wear a scarf?

3. Iono

Now Iono looks like one of those anime e-girls and AIs exactly like Pokemon aimed for. The AI render of Iono particularly reminds me of Alice Hiiragi from Persona 5 Strikers. Does anyone else see where I'm aiming with that? Iono is just looking so cute in here but I won't deny removing her shark teeth just doesn't feel right.

4. Kofu

I honestly thought the AI would butcher Kofu thanks to his weird AF facial hair, but surprisingly the AI worked with it AND I like AI Kofu more than actual Kofu. ESPECIALLY HIS ARMS!!! Kofu came off as not an overweight guy as Pokemon most likely aimed for considering he's a chef, but rather a muscle/husky sort of guy, like a wrestler in my eyes. So I'm glad the AI really emphasized his muscles.

5. Larry

Don't have much to say for this one. Justice for Larry! I like how the AI kept Larry's messy hair but he looks a little too young if you get me.

6. Ryme

I both absolutely love and Hate this😅 The AI completely removed the rapper out of Ryme and made her into a pop idol instead. It looks really nice! I can't deny that. I like the direction it went and she looks so cute! Maybe Ryme used to be a pop star but realized she likes rap more? I'm 100% on board with this headcannon and can imagine her on stage partners would be Mismagius or Chandelure.

7. Tulip

Now if Tulip looked more like this in the game, I would 100% believe that she's a beautician. Her in game design makes her out to look like she's a not-so-good supermodel and her make up just never looked right/made her out to look more creepy than anything. I like AI Tulip more and you can't change my mind!!!

8. Grusha

Grusha still doesn't look like a guy even in AI. I knew the AI would render him as a woman but hey! At least he's cute. Somehow, Grusha's clothes look more comfortable in the AI version.

Which AI render did you like the most? I definitely plan to do more of these.
