Pokedex descriptions

Diamond Pearl	It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
Platinum Black White	Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut.
HeartGold	When it remains still, it appears to be a large shrub. Unsuspecting prey that wander near get ensnared by its vines.
SoulSilver	Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can't even see its eyes.
