Jigglypuff Detection Dataset

This dataset is designed for training machine learning models to detect and distinguish Jigglypuff (a Pokemon) from Kirby and other similar characters.

I mainly use this with my Pummeluff-Detektor

Dataset Summary

The dataset contains approximately 5.5GB of images across three categories:

• Jigglypuff (Pokemon character)
• Kirby (Nintendo character)
• Other (Various other characters and images)

This dataset was specifically curated to solve the age-old problem of distinguishing between these two famously similar pink characters, along with detecting potential imposters.

Supported Tasks

• Image Classification
• Character Recognition
• Pink Blob Detection

Data Fields

The dataset is organized in a directory structure where each subdirectory represents a class label:

• jigglypuff: Contains Jigglypuff images
• kirby: Contains Kirby images, relevant because kirby and jigglypuff look similar
• other: Contains images of other characters and objects for negative examples

Data Splits

This is a raw image dataset without predefined splits. Users should implement their own train/test splits.

Dataset Creation

Source Data

Images were collected from two primary sources:

• CS63 Pokemon Dataset
• Nintendo Kirby Dataset

As of writing this, no additional images were added.

Annotations

The dataset uses directory names as implicit labels. No additional annotation files are provided.

Considerations for Using the Dataset

Social Impact of Dataset

This dataset was created for educational and entertainment purposes. It demonstrates practical machine learning concepts through a fun and accessible example.

Discussion of Biases

The dataset may contain biases in terms of:

• Art styles (anime/game artwork vs. fan art)
• Image quality variations
• Pose distributions
• Background variations
• Only images of Pokemon or Kirby, no unrelated images

Other Known Limitations

• Limited to specific art styles
• May not generalize well to real-world pink objects
• Focused on frontal/profile views
