Notifier.py is crashing after finding its first pokemon

[ldinatale1182]

Expected Behavior

Notifier.py shouldn't crash!

Current Behavior

Seems like after I get notified of one pokemon, notifier.py crashes.

Possible Solution

I don't know python, but from the stacktrace it seems like there's something wrong with the unicode encoding.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Exception in thread search_thread:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Python27\lib\threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "c:\Python27\lib\threading.py", line 754, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
  File "main.py", line 575, in main
    pokemonsJSON, ignore, only)
  File "main.py", line 675, in process_step
    notifier.pokemon_found(pokemon_obj)
  File "C:\Users\Luigi\Downloads\PokemonGo-Finder\notifier.py", line 31, in pokemon_found
    pokename = _str(pokemon["name"]).lower()
  File "C:\Users\Luigi\Downloads\PokemonGo-Finder\notifier.py", line 26, in _str
    return s.decode('utf-8').strip()
  File "c:\Python27\lib\encodings\utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2640' in position 7: ordinal not in range(128)

Context

Unable to use the notifier at all.

Looks like an issue when it's a nidoran that is close by.
