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 It rolls to move. If the ground is uneven, a sudden jolt from hitting a bump can cause it to explode.
Silver 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
It looks just like a Poké Ball. It is dangerous because it may electrocute or explode on touch.
