Method Detail

buildPokemon

public static Pokemon buildPokemon()

How we will build our Pokemon to battle.

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
