I'm surprised no one's suggested this until now, but since commas can't be used in tags, why not use slashes for the tags that cover more than two games? Like my previous BURs, I don't really have any strong feelings on this one way or the other, but this does seem like something that could work.

I am going to approve this because

I hate how the slash looks in the sidebar: pokemon_red/green/blue/yellow already becomes like this, which is ugly, so I'm leaving a way out for them rather than forcing us to keep this standard by changing all of them:

pokemon_red/green/blue/
   yellow

if we ever decide to rename these tags to pokemon red and green with the subnames aliased to it or as implied tags, we won't have to rename all of them or stick to pokemon red/green because we pigeonholed ourselves into an ugly standard

same if we ever allow commas in tag names, otherwise we'd end up with pokemon red, green, blue, yellow and pokemon winds/waves
