Pokédex entries

Yellow	When viewed through a microscope, this POKEMON’s short, fine, delicate hair is seen.
Stadium	A mythical Pokémon of South America that has been thought extinct. A growing number of people have seen it recently.
GoldStadium 2	Apparently, it appears only to those people who are pure of heart and have a strong desire to see it.
Silver	Its DNA is said to contain the genetic codes of all POKEMON, so it can use all kinds of techniques.
Crystal	Because it can learn any move, some people began research to see if it is the ancestor of all POKEMON.
