Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	Its tail fin billows like an elegant ballroom dress, giving it the nickname of the Water Queen.
Yellow	When it is time for them to lay eggs, they can be seen swimming up rivers and falls in large groups.
Gold HeartGold	Its dorsal, pectoral and tail fins wave elegantly in water. That is why it is known as the water dancer.
Silver	A strong swimmer, it is capable of swimming nonstop up fast streams at a steady speed of five knots.
Crystal	During spawning season, they swim gracefully in the water, searching for their perfect mate.
Ruby	GOLDEEN is a very beautiful POKéMON with fins that billow elegantly in water. However, don’t let your guard down around this POKéMON - it could ram you powerfully with its horn.
Sapphire	GOLDEEN loves swimming wild and free in rivers and ponds. If one of these POKéMON is placed in an aquarium, it will shatter even the thickest glass with one ram of its horn and make its escape.
Emerald	In the springtime, schools of GOLDEEN can be seen swimming up falls and rivers. It metes out staggering damage with its single horn.

LeafGreen	Its tail fin billows like an elegant ballroom dress, giving it the nickname of “The Water Queen.”

Pearl	It swims at a steady 5 knots. If it senses danger, it will strike back with its sharp horn.
Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	Though it appears very elegant when swimming with fins unfurled, it can jab powerfully with its horn.
SoulSilver	A strong swimmer, it is capable of swimming nonstop up fast streams at a steady speed of five knots per hour.
