As per https://github.com/jimsug/pokemon-hangouts-bot-plugins/issues/1#issuecomment-236871312, I'm comfortable with the plugin making several hundred API calls if:

  1. They're staggered if required - they can be deferred or backed-off until such time as the servers can handle it.
  2. The plugin backs off exponentially, with some ceiling.
  3. The translated names are cached very heavily along with any other data that we can cached - in the order of months or a year or so.
