Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	NUZLEAF live in densely overgrown forests. They occasionally venture out of the forest to startle people. This POKéMON dislikes having its long nose pinched.
Sapphire	This POKéMON pulls out the leaf on its head and makes a flute with it. The sound of NUZLEAF's flute strikes fear and uncertainty in the hearts of people lost in a forest.
Emerald	A forest-dwelling POKéMON that is skilled at climbing trees. Its long and pointed nose is its weak point. It loses power if the nose is gripped.
FireRed LeafGreen	They live in holes bored in large trees. The sound of NUZLEAF's grass flute fills listeners with dread.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	The sound of its grass flute makes its listeners uneasy. It lives deep in forests.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It lives deep in forests. With the leaf on its head, it makes a flute whose song makes listeners uneasy.
