Reason: I randomly came across art of the Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire betas and saw that its tags didn't have proper implications the same way the Pokemon Gold Beta received. I figured someone should fix that.

This BUR only contains the Gen 3 beta Pokémon that have posts here, I went through the beta_pokemon_(species) posts to add/create tags for the ones that went untagged. I might add more BURs in this thread if more species ever pop up. I've also aliased some alternate names for the species that changed names across dev stages, keeping the names they had last before deletion.

Note: Warabbit, Beta Treecko and Fiyoko already imply beta_pokemon_(species).

Reason: PART 2/2

Do we need tags for the individual beta pokemon games? We don't have tags for the individual release pokemon games, I think the beta game tags can also be aliased away.

Eh, unlike the main games, the content of the betas are very much self-contained and exclusive to that specific beta. This is a case more akin to series where the cast changes depending on the entry, like Zelda for example, fusing all the titles' tags wouldn't be doing a service because a lot of individual characters can be pinned to a specific title. Same thing would happen with beta Pokémon designs.
In normal Pokémon, the cast usually carries over to successive games, which makes it pretty uncommon to see a post that can be pinpointed to a specific game (not even counting versions into the mix), so it's probably for the best to lump it all together. Even then, we have tags for spin-offs that stand out from the main series.
