Pokedex descriptions

Red
Blue
At the time of birth, it has just one tail. The tail splits from its tip as it grows older.
Yellow Both its fur and its tails are beautiful. As it grows, the tails split and form more tails.
Gold As it develops, its single white tail gains color and splits into six. It is quite warm and cuddly.
Silver
SoulSilver
If it is attacked by an enemy that is stronger than itself, it feigns injury to fool the enemy and escapes.
Crystal As its body grows larger, its six warm tails become more beautiful, with a more luxurious coat of fur.
Ruby At the time of its birth, VULPIX has one white tail. The tail separates into six if this POKéMON receives plenty of love from its TRAINER. The six tails become magnificently curled.
Sapphire Inside VULPIX's body burns a flame that never goes out. During the daytime, when the temperatures rise, this POKéMON releases flames from its mouth to prevent its body from growing too hot.
Emerald It can freely control fire, making fiery orbs fly like will-o'-the-wisps. Just before evolution, its six tails grow hot as if on fire.
FireRed While young, it has six gorgeous tails. When it grows, several new tails are sprouted.
LeafGreen When it is born, it has just one snow-white tail. The tail splits from its tip as it grows older.
Diamond
Pearl
Platinum
Black
White
It controls balls of fire. As it grows, its six tails split from their tips to make more tails.
