Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	LINOONE always runs full speed and only in straight lines. If facing an obstacle, it makes a right-angle turn to evade it. This POKéMON is very challenged by gently curving roads.
Sapphire	When hunting, LINOONE will make a beeline straight for the prey at a full run. While this POKéMON is capable of topping 60 mph, it has to come to a screeching halt before it can turn.
Emerald	It is exceedingly fast if it only has to run in a straight line. When it spots pond-dwelling prey underwater, it quickly leaps in and catches it with its sharp claws.
FireRed LeafGreen	When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
HeartGold SoulSilver	When running in a straight line, it can easily top 60 miles an hour. It has a tough time with curved roads.
