Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	Virtually all of GULPIN’s body is its stomach. As a result, it can swallow something its own size. This POKéMON’s stomach contains a special fluid that digests anything.
Sapphire	Most of GULPIN’s body is made up of its stomach - its heart and brain are very small in comparison. This POKéMON’s stomach contains special enzymes that dissolve anything.
Emerald	This POKéMON’s stomach fluid can even digest scrap iron. In one gulp, it can swallow something that is as large as itself.
FireRed LeafGreen	There is nothing its stomach can’t digest. While it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled.
Diamond Pearl Black White Black 2 White 2	Almost all its body is its stomach. Its harsh digestive juices quickly dissolve anything it swallows.
Platinum	Almost all of its body is its stomach. Its harsh digestive juices quickly dissolve anything it swallows.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It has a small heart and brain. Its stomach comprises most of its body, with enzymes to dissolve anything.
