Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	It is said that a KIRLIA that is exposed to the positive emotions of its TRAINER grows beautiful. This POKéMON controls psychokinetic powers with its highly developed brain.

Emerald	A KIRLIA has the psychic power to create a rip in the dimensions and see into the future. It is said to dance with pleasure on sunny mornings.
FireRed LeafGreen	The cheerful spirit of its TRAINER gives it energy for its psychokinetic power. It spins and dances when happy.
Diamond Pearl	It is highly perceptive of its Trainer's feelings. It dances when it is feeling happy.
Platinum Black White	If its Trainer becomes happy, it overflows with energy, dancing joyously while spinning about.
