        Obtain user input to set Pokemon's member variables

        Requirements we should check the user for:
        - Hit points are between 1 and MAX_HIT_POINTS
        - No more than 50 points are split between attack level and defense leve
        - Attack level and defense level must have at least 1 point each
        Example of how this will look to the user:

        Please name your Pokemon: Dolphin
        How many hit points will it have? (1-50): 50
        Split fifty points between attack level and defense level
        Enter your attack level (1-49): 47
        Enter your defense level (1-3): 3

        Example of checking for bad input:

        Please name your Pokemon: Fire
        How many hit points will it have? (1-50): 0
        Sorry. Hit points must be between 1 and 50: 55
        Sorry. Hit points must be between 1 and 50: 50
        Split fifty points between attack level and defense level
        Enter your attack level (1-49): -10
        Sorry. The attack level must be between 1 and 49: 73
        Sorry. The attack level must be between 1 and 49: 27
        Enter your defense level (1-23): 24
        Sorry. The defense level must be between 1 and 23: 23

        Returns:
        tempPokemon - the Pokemon we built and are going to set our fighting Pokemon to
        (Look, we can return objects too!)
