feat: Pokémon popularity score #89

Description

@hjacque

Goal

Derive a popularity score per Pokémon entity — the inherent demand signal for a given Pokémon independent of any specific card. Popular Pokémon (Charizard, Pikachu, Gengar) command stronger price floors and more resilient demand across all cards featuring them.

Potential signals to explore

  • PSA grading volume — total pop across all cards featuring this Pokémon; high grading activity = high collector demand
  • Price premium — do cards featuring this Pokémon trade at a premium vs. comparable cards of similar rarity/era?
  • eBay sold listing frequency — transaction volume for this Pokémon (once feat: eBay sold listings as a Price Source #84 is in place)
  • External popularity data — Pokémon GO usage stats, competitive play frequency, fan rankings (research: external Pokémon popularity data sources #101)
