Shiny pokemon fix

BUR #41069 is pending approval.

remove implication shiny_pokemon -> alternate_color
mass update shiny_pokemon alternate_color -alternate_shiny_pokemon -> -alternate_color
create implication shiny_pokemon -> official_alternate_color

I'd like to try this again because right now it's practically impossible for a regular user to search for non-official alternatively colored Pokémon, either in general (pokemon_(species) alternate_color -shiny_pokemon vs pokemon_(species) alternate_color) or for specific Pokémon (sylveon alternate_color -shiny_pokemon vs sylveon alternate_color)...

Woops, turns out alternate shiny pokemon exists for the search issue. The implication is still inaccurate to the definition of alternate color, though.

See alternate_shiny_pokemon.

I forgot that was a tag, woops. Well, it's not impossible then, though still technically inaccurate to the wiki definition of alternate color.

That tag's pretty undertagged, I'll try to do some more gardening for it.

But yes this is a pet peev of mine.

@Confetto I'm pretty meh on this, but you should probably make it
update shiny_pokemon -alternate_shiny_pokemon alternate_color -> -alternate_color

To avoid catching those things you want to search for.

Also perhaps alternate_color pokemon_(creature) -shiny_pokemon might be more befitting ones that aren't shiny but just differently colored for no explained reason, like that pink butterfree and peoples furry ocs.

Fixed, thank you! Also I think those fall under alternate shiny pokemon regardless.
