Ranked Battle Series Now Labeled as Regulation

The Series label for Ranked Battles has now been renamed to Regulation. This change of name came along when Pokemon released an announcement about the ruleset for the next iteration of Ranked Battles on April to June 2023, which is Regulation C.

This means that all future Ranked Battles will also be labeled as Regulation instead of Series and will now use a letter instead of a number. Additionally, the previous Series 1 and Series 2 are now being referred to as Regulation A and B respectively.

Do note that Seasons, which still use numbers, will retain their name formatting.
