Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	NINCADA lives underground for many years in complete darkness. This POKéMON absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees. It stays motionless as it waits for evolution.
Sapphire	NINCADA lives underground. It uses its sharp claws to carve the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients. This POKéMON can't withstand bright sunlight so avoids it.
Emerald	It makes its nest at the roots of a mighty tree. Using its whiskerlike antennae, it probes its surroundings in the pitch-black darkness of soil.
FireRed	Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead.
LeafGreen	Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead.
Diamond	It grows underground, sensing its surroundings using antennae instead of its virtually blind eyes.
Pearl	It grows underground, sensing its surroundings using antennae instead of its virtually blind eyes.
