Remove redundant gift/fossil entries from special_encounters.json

Gifts, trades, and fossils are already in the per-game encounter data.
Only starters need to remain in special_encounters.json. Updated the
corresponding bean to reflect the narrowed scope.

-Audit \`special_encounters.json\` to ensure starters, gifts, fossils, and other non-wild encounters are covered for all games.
+Only starters are missing from the encounter data. Gifts, trades, and fossils are already present in the per-game encounter JSON files.
 
-## What counts as special encounters:
-- **Starters** — the three (or more) starter Pokémon choices
-- **Gift Pokémon** — NPCs that give you Pokémon (e.g. Eevee in Celadon, Lapras in Silph Co.)
-- **Fossils** — Pokémon revived from fossils (e.g. Omanyte/Kabuto, Lileep/Anorith)
-- **In-game trades** — Pokémon received via NPC trades (if tracked)
-- **Static encounters** — Legendaries, Snorlax blocking the road, Sudowoodo, etc.
-- **Event-specific** — One-time encounters tied to story events
+The `special_encounters.json` file currently contains starters, gifts, and fossils for Gen 1-3 — but only the starters are actually needed (the rest is redundant). Additionally, starters are missing for Gen 4+ games.
 
 ## Checklist:
-- [ ] Audit Gen 1 (Red/Blue/Yellow/FR/LG) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal/HG/SS) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/ORAS) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/BD/SP) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 5 (Black/White/B2/W2) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 6 (X/Y) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 7 (Sun/Moon/USUM) special encounters
-- [ ] Audit Gen 8+ (Sword/Shield/Scarlet/Violet/Legends) special encounters

-## Notes:
-- Cross-reference with Bulbapedia "Gift Pokémon" and "In-game trade" pages
-- The current file appears focused on Gen 1-2 — later gens likely need additions
