When viewing/editing a Pokemon in the admin panel, show contextual information about where it can be encountered and its evolution chain.

## Desired behavior
- The pokemon edit card (from click-to-edit) shows:
  1. Editable fields (name, types, dex number, sprite, etc.)
  2. **Encounter locations**: A list of routes/games where this pokemon appears as a route encounter. Grouped by game, showing route name + encounter method + levels.
  3. **Evolution chain**: Visual display of the pokemon's evolution family — predecessors and successors with triggers (level, item, trade, etc.)
- Encounter locations and evolution chain are read-only informational sections
- Encounter locations link to the route detail page in admin for quick navigation

## Backend support
- Encounters by pokemon: May need a new endpoint or can query route_encounters filtered by pokemon_id
- Evolution chain: Can reuse existing /pokemon/{id}/evolutions endpoint, but may need a 'full chain' variant that shows the complete family tree (not just direct evolutions from this pokemon)

## Notes
- This helps the admin quickly verify data completeness — 'is this pokemon assigned to the right routes?' and 'are its evolutions set up correctly?'
