A follow-up PR to issue #1234. The Japanese releases of Red/Green/Blue were not listed in versions/version groups, so I added these and changed the order column within version_groups.csv accordingly. Also, in adding the name of these games in various languages, I noticed that Pokemon Blue (international) was listed as "緑" in Japanese, which actually means green in English, so I fixed this as well.

For the names of the versions in different languages, I used the following Bulbapedia pages:

I added the following data for these new versions:

  • Three version resources: red-japan, green-japan, and blue-japan.
  • Two version group resources: red-green-japan and blue-japan.
  • References to the new version groups in the kanto pokedex resource.
  • Move learn methods available in the new version groups (mirroring Red/Blue (international)).
  • References to kanto region resource for the new version groups.

Other data related to the new versions has not been added yet (locations, encounter data, pokemon sprites, etc.). A lot of it may be able to be copied from the international releases from a detailed website here: https://altissimo1.github.io/Main-Series/RGBY/rgby-differences.html. This is not a known "reputable" source, so I'm not sure if we should use this, but it is something that I found. I'm interested in others' thoughts.

Great of you having found that resource!

I'll work on implementing the details using PokeAPI and that website - I'll put in a PR once I've updated and tested everything
