Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	An aggressive POKéMON that is quick to attack. The horn on its head secretes a powerful venom.
Yellow	Its horns contain venom. If they are stabbed into an enemy, the impact makes the poison leak out.
Gold HeartGold	It raises its big ears to check its surroundings. If it senses anything, it attacks immediately.
Silver SoulSilver	Quick to anger, it stabs enemies with its horn to inject a powerful poison when it becomes agitated.
Crystal	It is easily agitated and uses its horn for offense as soon as it notices an attacker.
Ruby Sapphire	NIDORINO has a horn that is harder than a diamond. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might.
Emerald	Its horn is harder than a diamond. If it senses a hostile presence, all the barbs on its back bristle up at once, and it challenges the foe with all its might.
FireRed	It is easily angered. By swinging its well-developed horn wildly, it can even punch through diamond.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It has a violent disposition and stabs foes with its horn, which oozes poison upon impact.
