Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	SALAMENCE came about as a result of a strong, long-held dream of growing wings. It is said that this powerful desire triggered a sudden mutation in this POKéMON’s cells, causing it to sprout its magnificent wings.
Sapphire	By evolving into SALAMENCE, this POKéMON finally realizes its long-held dream of growing wings. To express its joy, it flies and wheels all over the sky while spouting flames from its mouth.
Emerald	After many long years, its cellular structure underwent a sudden mutation to grow wings. When angered, it loses all thought and rampages out of control.
FireRed LeafGreen	It becomes uncontrollable if it is enraged. It destroys everything with shredding claws and fire.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	As a result of its long-held dream of flying, its cellular structure changed, and wings grew out.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It’s uncontrollable if enraged. It flies around spouting flames and scorching fields and mountains.
