Research direction

Start by querying pokemon//sprites/gen-vi/ and pokemon-form//sprites/gen-vi/, then compare the returned version-group name with version-group/16. Trace where these endpoint responses obtain the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire version-group name. Done when both sprite endpoints return "omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire" consistently with version-group/16.

Description

Describe the Bug

If we query:

pokemon//sprites/gen-vi/

or

pokemon-form//sprites/gen-vi/

The name of the version group for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is:

"omegaruby-alphasapphire"

It should be:

"omega-ruby-alpha-sapphire"

As per:

version-group/16

Steps to Reproduce

Query the endpoints pokemon//sprites/gen-vi/ or pokemon-form//sprites/gen-vi/. The version group name of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is incorrect.
