Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It is a nectar that is used to attract prey.
Yellow	Smells incredibly foul! However, around 1 out of 1,000 people enjoy sniffing its nosebending stink.
Gold HeartGold	What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.
Silver SoulSilver	It secretes a sticky, drool-like honey. Although sweet, it smells too repulsive to get very close.
Crystal	The smell from its drool-like syrup and the pollen on its petals is so bad, it may make opponents faint.
Ruby	GLOOM releases a foul fragrance from the pistil of its flower. When faced with danger, the stench worsens. If this POKéMON is feeling calm and secure, it does not release its usual stinky aroma.
Sapphire	From its mouth GLOOM drips honey that smells absolutely horrible. Apparently, it loves the horrid stench. It sniffs the noxious fumes and then drools even more of its honey.
Emerald	A horribly noxious honey drools from its mouth. One whiff of the honey can result in memory loss. Some fans are said to enjoy this overwhelming stink, however.
FireRed	Its pistils exude an incredibly foul odor. The horrid stench can cause fainting at a distance of 1.25 miles.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	The honey it drools from its mouth smells so atrocious, it can curl noses more than a mile away.
