Gather generation metadata (games, regions)	todo	task	2026-02-08T19:20:49Z	2026-02-08T19:20:49Z	nuzlocke-tracker-25mh

Collect and store metadata about each Pokemon generation to support genlocke features. This data is needed so the app can present generation-aware options when setting up a genlocke (e.g. "pick one game per generation").

Data to gather per generation

• Generation number (1–9)
• Main region (e.g. Gen 1 → Kanto, Gen 2 → Johto, etc.)
• Games in the generation — including remakes and enhanced versions:
  • Original titles (e.g. Red, Blue, Yellow)
  • Remakes that belong to the generation's region (e.g. FireRed/LeafGreen are Gen 1 region but Gen 3 era)
• Consider whether remakes should be listed under their original generation (by region) or their release generation (by engine/dex) — genlocke players typically organize by region

Notes

• This could be stored as seed data (JSON) or as a database table
• The existing Game model already has generation and region fields, so some of this data may already be derivable from existing games in the DB
• However, a dedicated generations reference would be useful for UI purposes (showing all generations even if not all games are seeded yet)
• Check if backend/src/app/seeds/data/generations.json already exists or if this needs to be created from scratch
