Update PokeAPI data submodule to latest version	todo	task	2026-02-06T10:53:45Z	2026-02-06T10:53:45Z

The local PokeAPI data repository we use as a submodule is outdated.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)
