Pokedex descriptions

Red
Blue
LeafGreen		 Known to shoot down flying bugs with precision blasts of ink from the surface of the water.
Yellow If it senses any danger, it will vigorously spray water or a special type of ink from its mouth.
Gold If attacked by a larger enemy, it quickly swims to safety by adeptly controlling its dorsal fin.
Silver
SoulSilver		 Its big, developed fins move rapidly, allowing it to swim backward while still facing forward.
Crystal When they're in a safe location, they can be seen playfully tangling their tails together.
Ruby HORSEA eats small insects and moss off of rocks. If the ocean current turns fast, this POKéMON anchors itself by wrapping its tail around rocks or coral to prevent being washed away.
Sapphire If HORSEA senses danger, it will reflexively spray a dense black ink from its mouth and try to escape. This POKéMON swims by cleverly flapping the fins on its back.
Emerald By cleverly flicking the fins on its back side to side, it moves in any direction while facing forward. It spits ink to escape if it senses danger.
FireRed It maintains balance using its tail, which is wound up like a coil. It may spray ink from its mouth.
Diamond
Pearl
Platinum
Black
White		 It makes its nest in the shade of corals. If it senses danger, it spits murky ink and flees.
HeartGold If attacked by a larger enemy, it quickly swims to safety by adeptly controlling its well-developed dorsal fin.
