Review the existing route ordering for Gen 1-4 games that already have ordering defined. The current ordering may not accurately reflect typical game progression.

## Games to audit:
- [ ] FireRed/LeafGreen (and aliased: Red/Blue, Yellow, Let's Go)
- [ ] HeartGold/SoulSilver (and aliased: Gold/Silver, Crystal)
- [ ] Emerald (and aliased: Ruby/Sapphire, Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire)
- [ ] Platinum

## What to check:
- Routes are in correct progression order (match typical walkthrough)
- No routes are missing from the ordering
- No routes are listed that don't exist in the encounter data
- Aliases make sense (e.g. Red/Blue may have slightly different progression from FR/LG)
- Post-game areas are placed after main story areas
- Sub-areas (children) inherit parent ordering correctly

## Notes:
- Cross-reference with Bulbapedia walkthrough pages
- The Platinum ordering currently starts with cities and mines rather than the starting town/routes — this may be incorrect
- Diamond/Pearl currently aliases to nothing — check if it should alias to Platinum or needs its own ordering
