Pokedex descriptions

Gold LeafGreen	It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it charges up only a little bit.
Silver FireRed SoulSilver	Even in the most vicious storm, this POKéMON plays happily if thunder rumbles in the sky.
Crystal	It loves violent thunder. The space between its horns flickers bluish-white when it is charging energy.
Ruby Sapphire	ELEKID stores electricity in its body. If it touches metal and accidentally discharges all its built-up electricity, this POKéMON begins swinging its arms in circles to recharge itself.
Emerald	If it touches metal and discharges the electricity it has stored in its body, an ELEKID begins swinging its arms in circles to recharge itself.
Diamond Pearl	It generates electricity by whirling its arms. However, it can’t store the energy it makes.
Platinum Black White	A weak electric current flows between its horns. Sticking a hand there shocks the unwary.
HeartGold	It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it only charges up a little bit.
Black 2 White 2	Spinning its arms around to generate electricity makes the area between its horns shine light blue.
