Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	TORKOAL digs through mountains in search of coal. If it finds some, it fills hollow spaces on its shell with the coal and burns it. If it is attacked, this POKéMON spouts thick black smoke to beat a retreat.
Sapphire	TORKOAL generates energy by burning coal. It grows weaker as the fire dies down. When it is preparing for battle, this POKéMON burns more coal.
Emerald	It battles using energy it gets from burning coal. When loosing smoke from its nostrils, it lets off a sound that is similar to a locomotive's horn.
FireRed LeafGreen	It burns coal inside its shell. If it is attacked, it belches thick, black smoke and flees.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It burns coal inside its shell for energy. It blows out black soot if it is endangered.
HeartGold SoulSilver	You find abandoned coal mines full of them. They dig tirelessly in search of coal.
