Pokedex descriptions

Gold LeafGreen HeartGold	If it loses a fang, a new one grows back in its place. There are always 48 fangs lining its mouth.
Silver FireRed SoulSilver	It opens its huge jaws wide when attacking. If it loses any fangs while biting, they grow back in.
Crystal	The tips of its fangs are slanted backward. Once those fangs clamp down, the prey has no hope of escape.
Ruby Sapphire	Once CROCONAW has clamped its jaws on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like barbed fishhooks, they become impossible to remove when they have sunk in.
Emerald	Once its jaws clamp down on its foe, it will absolutely not let go. Because the tips of its fangs are forked back like fishhooks, they become irremovably embedded.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	Once it bites down, it won’t let go until it loses its fangs. New fangs quickly grow into place.
