Support games / generations in Pokemon Showdown pokedexreader #28

veekun data is game-oriented, while Pokemon Showdown is more generation-oriented. It's easy to translate from game to generation, but hard to translate from generation to game (as you basically need to maintain list of things added in second game).

Our app is game-oriented, which poses a problem while integrating with Pokemon Showdown.

We need to find and implement a way for pokedexreader Pokemon Showdown reader to output correct data for correct game.

This is basically done as of 2e2f9785e1e64ad953e4f9339e8b9d6f66217e62 .

Constants.available_pokemon contains list of Pokemon in each game
Constants.tutor_moves_map allows to translate "generation X" to "games Foo and Bar" in context of move tutors. As far as I can tell, no other learning method has differences between games within generation
