Should be able to enter `133` and get both [Eevee](http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/eevee) (whose national dex number is 133) and [Octillery](http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/octillery) (whose Sinnoh dex number is 133). And others, of course.

BUT, you should also get an item from every generation, and a move from every generation, and so forth.

Which means that:

1. disambiguation needs to indicate which region/generation an id was picked from, and

1. there needs to be some clever syntax for specifying that beforehand — perhaps `pokemon:133/kanto`?

This is a more general problem. Expanding from regional dex numbers to all internal ids.
