Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	Extremely quick to anger. It could be docile one moment then thrashing away the next instant.
Yellow	An agile POKéMON that lives in trees. It angers easily and will not hesitate to attack anything.
Gold HeartGold	It is extremely ill-tempered. Groups of them will attack any handy target for no reason.
Silver SoulSilver	It's unsafe to approach if it gets violently enraged for no reason and can't distinguish friends from foes.
Crystal	It lives in groups in the treetops. If it loses sight of its group, it becomes infuriated by its loneliness.
Ruby Sapphire	When MANKEY starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it's a sure sign that it is becoming angry. However, because it goes into a towering rage almost instantly, it is impossible for anyone to flee its wrath.
Emerald	When it starts shaking and its nasal breathing turns rough, it's a sure sign of anger. However, since this happens instantly, there is no time to flee.
FireRed	Light and agile on its feet, and ferocious in temperament. When angered, it flies into an uncontrollable frenzy.
LeafGreen	Extremely quick to anger. It could be docile one moment, then thrashing away the next instant.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It lives in treetop colonies. If one becomes enraged, the whole colony rampages for no reason.
