Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	VIGOROTH is always itching and agitated to go on a wild rampage. It simply can’t tolerate sitting still for even a minute. This POKéMON’s stress level rises if it can’t be moving constantly.
Sapphire	VIGOROTH is simply incapable of remaining still. Even when it tries to sleep, the blood in its veins grows agitated, compelling this POKéMON to run wild throughout the jungle before it can settle down.
Emerald	It can’t keep still because its blood boils with energy. It runs through the fields and mountains all day to calm itself. If it doesn’t, it can’t sleep at night.
FireRed LeafGreen	It is always hungry because it won’t stop rampaging. Even while it is eating, it can’t keep still.
Diamond Pearl Black White	Its heart beats at a tenfold tempo, so it cannot sit still for even a moment.
Platinum	Its heart beats at a tenfold tempo, so it cannot sit still even for a moment.
HeartGold SoulSilver	Its stress level rises if it cannot keep moving constantly. Too much stress makes it feel sick.
Black 2 White 2	Its heartbeat is fast and its blood so agitated that it can’t sit still for one second.
