Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds.
Yellow	It may be mistaken for a clump of weeds. If you try to yank it out of the ground, it shrieks horribly.
Gold	Awakened by moonlight, it roams actively at night. In the day, it stays quietly underground.
Silver SoulSilver	If exposed to moonlight, it starts to move. It roams far and wide at night to scatter its seeds.
Crystal	During the day, it stays in the cold underground to avoid the sun. It grows by bathing in moonlight.
Ruby	During the daytime, ODDISH buries itself in soil to absorb nutrients from the ground using its entire body. The more fertile the soil, the glossier its leaves become.
Sapphire	ODDISH searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, this POKéMON's feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees.
Emerald	This POKéMON grows by absorbing moonlight. During the daytime, it buries itself in the ground, leaving only its leaves exposed to avoid detection by its enemies.
FireRed	Its scientific name is "Oddium Wanderus." At night, it is said to walk nearly 1,000 feet on its two roots.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It often plants its root feet in the ground during the day and sows seeds as it walks about at night.
HeartGold	Awakened by moonlight, it roams actively at night. In the day, it stays quietly underground.
