Pokedex descriptions

Red/Blue Under a full moon, this POKéMON likes to mimic the shadows of people and laugh at their fright.
Yellow A GENGAR is close by if you feel a sudden chill. It may be trying to lay a curse on you.
Gold It steals heat from its surroundings. If you feel a sudden chill, it is certain that a GENGAR appeared.
Silver To steal the life of its target, it slips into the prey's shadow and silently waits for an opportunity.
Crystal Hiding in people's shadows at night, it absorbs their heat. The chill it causes makes the victims shake.
Ruby Sometimes, on a dark night, your shadow thrown by a streetlight will suddenly and startlingly overtake you. It is actually a GENGAR running past you, pretending to be your shadow.
Sapphire Sometimes, on a dark night, your shadow thrown by a streetlight will suddenly and startlingly overtake you. It is actually a GENGAR running past you, pretending to be your shadow.
Emerald Deep in the night, your shadow cast by a streetlight may suddenly overtake you. It is actually a GENGAR running past you, pretending to be your shadow.
FireRed It is said to emerge from darkness to steal the lives of those who become lost in mountains.
LeafGreen On the night of a full moon, if shadows move on their own and laugh, it must be GENGAR's doing.
Diamond It hides in shadows. It is said that if GENGAR is hiding, it cools the area by nearly 10 degrees F.
Pearl Lurking in the shadowy corners of rooms, it awaits chances to steal its prey's life force.
