Only starters are missing from the encounter data. Gifts, trades, and fossils are already present in the per-game encounter JSON files.

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:
- [x] Remove non-starter entries from special_encounters.json
- [ ] Add Gen 4 starters (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/BD/SP)
- [ ] Add Gen 5 starters (Black/White/B2/W2)
- [ ] Add Gen 6 starters (X/Y)
- [ ] Add Gen 7 starters (Sun/Moon/USUM)
- [ ] Add Gen 8 starters (Sword/Shield)
- [ ] Add Gen 9 starters (Scarlet/Violet)
- [ ] Add Legends Arceus starters
