Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	An enigmatic POKéMON that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage it loses in battle.
Yellow	As long as the center section is unharmed, it can grow back fully even if it is chopped to bits.
Gold	At night, the center of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat.
Silver SoulSilver	Even if its body is torn, it can regenerate as long as the glowing central core remains intact.
Crystal	When the stars twinkle at night, it floats up from the sea floor, and its body's center core flickers.
Ruby	STARYU's center section has an organ called the core that shines bright red. If you go to a beach toward the end of summer, the glowing cores of these POKéMON look like the stars in the sky.
Sapphire	STARYU apparently communicates with the stars in the night sky by flashing the red core at the center of its body. If parts of its body are torn, this POKéMON simply regenerates the missing pieces and limbs.
Emerald	It gathers with others in the night and makes its red core glow on and off with the twinkling stars. It can regenerate limbs if they are severed from its body.
FireRed	It appears in large numbers by seashores. At night, its central core flashes with a red light.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	If its body is torn, it can grow back if the red core remains. The core flashes at midnight.
HeartGold	At night, the middle of its body slowly flickers with the same rhythm as a human heartbeat.
