The local PokeAPI data repository we use as a submodule is outdated. It's missing newer games like Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

## Context
- We fetch seed data from a local copy of PokeAPI data (submodule)
- This avoids hitting the API directly but means we need to periodically update
- Missing games won't have encounter data until the submodule is updated

## Action
- Check for updates to the PokeAPI data repository
- Update the submodule to the latest version
- Re-run fetch_pokeapi.py to regenerate seed data
- Add any new games to VERSION_GROUPS in fetch_pokeapi.py

## Notes
- Low priority - current games (Gen 1-9) are sufficient for MVP
- Legends Z-A may not have traditional encounter data anyway (open world)
