Pokedex descriptions

Red
Blue
The sprig of green onions it holds is its weapon. It is used much like a metal sword.
Yellow Lives where reedy plants grow. They are rarely seen, so it’s thought their numbers are decreasing.
Gold If anyone tries to disturb where the essential plant sticks grow, it uses its own stick to thwart them.
Silver If it eats the plant stick it carries as emergency rations, it runs off in search of a new stick.
Crystal In order to prevent their extinction, more people have made an effort to breed these POKéMON.
Ruby
Sapphire
