Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	Usually found in power plants. Easily mistaken for a POKé BALL, they have zapped many people.
Yellow	It is said to camouflage itself as a POKé BALL. It will self-destruct with very little stimulus.
Gold HeartGold	It rolls to move. If the ground is uneven, a sudden jolt from hitting a bump can cause it to explode.
Silver SoulSilver	It was discovered when POKe BALLS were introduced. It is said that there is some connection.
Crystal	During the study of this POKéMON, it was discovered that its components are not found in nature.
Ruby	VOLTORB was first sighted at a company that manufactures POKé BALLS. The link between that sighting and the fact that this POKéMON looks very similar to a POKé BALL remains a mystery.
Sapphire	VOLTORB is extremely sensitive - it explodes at the slightest of shocks. It is rumored that it was first created when a POKé BALL was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy.
Emerald	It bears an uncanny and unexplained resemblance to a POKé BALL. Because it explodes at the slightest shock, even veteran TRAINERS treat it with caution.
FireRed	A life-form whose identity is unknown. It is said to SCREECH or suddenly SELFDESTRUCT.
LeafGreen	Usually found in power plants. Easily mistaken for a POKé BALL, it has zapped many people.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It looks just like a Poké Ball. It is dangerous because it may electrocute or explode on touch.
Black 2 White 2	It looks just like a Poké Ball. It is dangerous because it may electrocute or explode on contact.
