What if other Pokémon movies got CGI remakes? (via Stable Diffusion)

Ever since the release of Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution in 2019/2020, folks (including myself) have wondered what other Pokémon movies might look like if they got a CGI remake. While there's no practical way to definitively answer that, with the help of the Stable Diffusion image generation framework, we can get a glimpse of what such a movie might look like. I took stills from a number of Pokémon Movies and used a "Modern Disney" model in combination with an embedding I generated using stills from Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution (I also retouched the images afterwards to improve their appearance).

Technical Details:

Model Used: Modern Disney
Embeddings Used: Custom "Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution" embedding
Front End: Automatic1111
Base Render Resolution: 512*512 (upscaled to 1024*1024)
