Pokedex descriptions

Diamond Because it is very proud, it hates accepting food from people. Its thick down guards it from cold.
Pearl It lives along shores in northern countries. A skilled swimmer, it dives for over 10 minutes to hunt.
Platinum A poor walker, it often falls down. However, its strong pride makes it puff up its chest without a care.
HeartGold
SoulSilver
It doesn't like to be taken care of. It's difficult to bond with since it won't listen to its Trainer.
