Get pokemon by name. Partially fulfills #34

I need to query by name since I'll be getting the the name via OCR and need to support forms, such as Alolan.

Whatever happened to this pull request? Is there still more features that need to be added?

I don't want to enable unsupported functionality like calling by name, so I won't be merging this. The correct way to do this is to request the actual objects by id to get the names in the correct form, cache that locally, then search that cached list.
