Filename scheme

Pokemon sprite filenames are in a 1-to-1 correspondence with the Pokemon's name, for ease of processing. Filenames may be directly substituted in shell commands without escaping.

• Characters outside [0-9a-zA-Z-.] will be escaped using _ and four hex characters, similar to JavaScript Unicode escapes. This conforms to the POSIX portable filename character set. (example: Flabébé -> Flabe_0301be_0301)

The following JS function may be useful:

function encode(s) {
    return s.replace(/[^0-9a-zA-Z-.]/g, c => '_' + c.charCodeAt(0).toString(16).padStart(4, '0'));
}

• Formes are separated with two dashes from their base. (example: Necrozma--Dawn-Wings)

• Cosmetic female formes are --Female instead of --F, so that you may distinguish it from Unown.
