Usage
The first unnamed parameter takes either a Pokémon's name or National Pokédex number. By default the template will convert one to the other.
 * First parameter

An optional second unnamed parameter is available to select alternate outputs. The list of currently supported conversions is listed below.
 * Second parameter

Examples:

This template supports some alternate inputs other than national number or english name that can be used in the input parameter. Basically allowing backwards conversion from a given number (e.g. johto) to that pokémon's name.
 * Input parameter

Parameter requirements
The parameters are not case-sensitive, nor is the first unnamed parameter leading-zero sensitive.

Misspelling a Pokémon's name, entering an invalid number, or specifying an unsupported second parameter will create an error.

Technical information

 * This template relies on two subtemplates User:Zappernapper/Pokeconvert/numtoname and User:Zappernapper/Pokeconvert/nametonum


 * This template generates an empty string output if you request a number output that does not exist.


 * Pokémon's names will always have the first letter captialized.


 * This template attempts to allow for format variations in entering the following names, the list below provides a reference for those names in their accurate formatting if users are having problems with them.
 * Mr. Mime
 * Mime Jr.
 * Porygon2
 * Porygon-Z


 * The male and female Nidoran are a special case as some people are unable to type the ♀ or ♂ symbols. These symbols are used by the template internally, but the following formats are also accepted for either male or female forms.
 * nidoranf
 * nidoran(f)
 * nidoran f
 * nidoran (f)
 * nidoran female
 * nidoran (female)


 * Currently this template does not support conversions based on other pokédex numbers or Japanese names, but this is a future possibility, the current format was written to be extensible, so hopefully this will be available one day in the future.
