Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	Because of its ability to slip through block walls, it is said to be from another dimension.
Yellow	By licking, it saps the victim's life. It causes shaking that won't stop until the victim's demise.
Gold HeartGold	In total darkness, where nothing is visible, HAUNTER lurks, silently stalking its next victim.

Crystal	It hides in the dark, planning to take the life of the next living thing that wanders close by.
Ruby Sapphire	HAUNTER is a dangerous POKéMON. If one beckons you while floating in darkness, you must never approach it. This POKéMON will try to lick you with its tongue and steal your life away.
Emerald	If a HAUNTER beckons you while it is floating in darkness, don't approach it. This POKéMON will try to lick you with its tongue and steal your life away.
FireRed	If you get the feeling of being watched in darkness when nobody is around, HAUNTER is there.
Diamond	It can slip through any obstacle. It lurks inside walls to keep an eye on its foes.
Pearl	It licks with its gaseous tongue to steal the victim's life force. It lurks in darkness for prey.
Platinum Black White	It likes to lurk in the dark and tap shoulders with a gaseous hand. Its touch causes endless shuddering.
