Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	BANETTE generates energy for laying strong curses by sticking pins into its own body. This POKéMON was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away.
Sapphire	A cursed energy permeated the stuffing of a discarded and forgotten plush doll, giving it new life as BANETTE. The POKéMON's energy would escape if it were to ever open its mouth.
Emerald	An abandoned plush doll became this POKéMON. They are said to live in garbage dumps and wander about in search of the children that threw them away.
FireRed LeafGreen	Strong feelings of hatred turned a puppet into a POKéMON. If it opens its mouth, its cursed energy escapes.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	A doll that became a Pokémon over its grudge from being junked. It seeks the child that disowned it.
HeartGold SoulSilver	This Pokémon developed from an abandoned doll that amassed a grudge. It is seen in dark alleys.
