Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	Very competitive, this POKéMON will chase anything that moves fast in the hopes of racing it.
Yellow	Just loves to run. If it sees something faster than itself, it will give chase at top speed.
Gold HeartGold	At full gallop, its four hooves barely touch the ground because it moves so incredibly fast.
Silver	With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed of 150 mph after running just ten steps.
Crystal	It just loves to gallop. The faster it goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become.
Ruby Sapphire	RAPIDASH usually can be seen casually cantering in the fields and plains. However, when this POKéMON turns serious, its fiery manes flare and blaze as it gallops its way up to 150 mph.
Emerald	It usually canters casually in the fields and plains. But once a RAPIDASH turns serious, its fiery manes flare and blaze as it gallops its way up to 150 mph.
FireRed	It can gallop at a top speed of 150 miles per hour. It can race as fast as a bullet train while ablaze.
Diamond	It gallops at nearly 150 mph. With its mane blazing ferociously, it races as if it were an arrow.
Pearl	It has astounding acceleration. From a standstill, it can reach top speed within 10 steps.
Platinum Black White	When at an all-out gallop, its blazing mane sparkles, enhancing its beautiful appearance.
SoulSilver	With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed of 150 mph after running just 10 steps.
