Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
Yellow	Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be a little moldy. It never gets an upset stomach.
Gold HeartGold	What sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry belly.
Silver SoulSilver	Its stomach's digestive juices can dissolve any kind of poison. It can even eat things off the ground.
Crystal	This POKéMON's stomach is so strong, even eating moldy or rotten food will not affect it.
Ruby Sapphire	SNORLAX's typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. It is such a docile POKéMON that there are children who use its expansive belly as a place to play.
Emerald	SNORLAX's typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. It is such a docile POKéMON that there are children who use its big belly as a place to play.
FireRed	It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep.
Diamond	Its stomach can digest any kind of food, even if it happens to be moldy or rotten.
Pearl	It stops eating only to sleep. It doesn't feel full unless it eats nearly 900 pounds a day.
Platinum Black White	When its belly is full, it becomes too lethargic to even lift a finger, so it is safe to bounce on its belly.
