They gradually disintegrate when exposed to light, so they live quietly in dark caves.	It dislikes light and sudden shocks. When attacked, its body swells up and its counterattacks become more powerful.

203 - Girafarig
シッポにも　ちいさな　のうがあり ちかよると　においに　はんのうしては かみついて　くるので　ちゅうい。	シッポにも　ちいさな　のうがある。 ちかよると　においに　はんのうして かみついて　くるので　ちゅうい。

When it attacks its prey, it strikes them with its head so hard that it knocks them senseless.	If anyone sees it, it digs into the ground with its tail and burrows away backwards.
Dunsparce seems much more aggressive in the earlier entry, a far cry from its timid, cowardly nature in the final game. This matches up with its design in the Spaceworld 1999 demo, where it looked slightly meaner and lacked the drill on its tail.
207 - Gligar
かおを　ねらって　とんでくる。 かおに　はりつき　おどろくあいだに しっぽの　どくバリを　さしこむ	がんめん　めがけて　とんでくる。 はりつかれた　えものが　おどろく あいだに　どくバリを　さしこむ。
It swoops down, aiming for the face. It jabs in its poisonous stinger before the shock of latching onto its opponent's face has worn off.	It swoops down, going after the front of the face. It latches onto its prey and jabs in its poisonous stinger before the shock has worn off.
Entry rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
210 - Granbull
いつもは　ぶあいそう。でも おやのトレーナーの　まえでは わらったりするらしい。	ほんとうは　おくびょうで　こわがり。 おそわれると　ひっしに　てあしを ふって　てきを　おいはらおうとする。
It's usually unsociable. However, it seems that it can smile in the presence of its trainer.	It's actually a scaredy-cat. When attacked, it frantically flails its limbs around in an attempt to fend off foes.
A cute tidbit about Granbull's affection towards its owner didn't make it into either Gold or Silver.
211 - Qwilfish
からだを　おおきく　みせるため たくさんの　みずを　いっきにのみこみ いぶくろを　ふくらませるのだ。	ぜんしんの　どくばりを　とばすため １０リットルの　みずを　いっきに のみこみ　からだを　ふくらませる。
In order to make its body look bigger, it inflates itself by swallowing a lot of water in a single gulp.	In order to fire its toxic spikes, it inflates itself by swallowing 10 liters of water in a single gulp.
The old entry was rewritten and used in Crystal.
215 - Sneasel
みかづきのように　ながく するどい　ツメは　ふだんは ゆびのなかに　かくしている。	するどいツメを　ゆびの　なかに かくしている。いきなり　のばして おそってきた　あいてを　ひるませる。
Its sharp claws look like long crescents. They are normally concealed in its paws.	Its sharp claws are normally concealed in its paws. When attacked, the claws suddenly extend and their opponents recoil.
Sneasel's claws aren't particularly crescent-shaped, so that part had to go.
216 - Teddiursa
きゅうかくに　すぐれ　こうぶつの ミツのにおいを　すぐに　かぎわける。 そのとき　あたまのわっかが　ひかる	ミツをみつけると　みかづきもようが かがやく。あまいミツが　しみこんだ てのひらを　いつも　なめている。
It has an excellent sense of smell and can easily track down the scent of honey. When it does, the ring on its head lights up.	When it finds honey, its crescent moon glows. It's always licking its paws, which are covered in sweet honey.
The old entry mentions its ability to track down honey, a detail missing from future entries. It also refers to Teddiursa's head marking as a ring, which matches up with its design in Spaceworld 1999.
217 - Ursaring
さむくなると　とうみんを　する。 そのため　どんどん　エサをたべて からだに　エネルギーを　ためこむ。	きのぼりも　とくいだが まえあしで　ふといみきを　へしおって おちてきた　きのみを　たべる。
When it gets cold out, it hibernates. So, it has to eat more and more food to store up energy in its body.	It's good at climbing trees, but it prefers to use its paws to break thick tree trunks and eat the fallen berries.
Even though Ursaring's hibernating behavior was written out of the final game, it's still categorized as a "Hibernation" (とうみん) Pokémon.
219 - Magcargo
せなかのカラは　からだが　ひえて かたまっただけ。さわると　かんたんに くずれるはど　もろい。	せなかのカラは　ひふが　ひえて かたまっただけ。なにかが ふれただけで　かんたんに　くずれる。
The shell on its back is just a part of its body that has cooled and hardened. The shell is so fragile that it easily crumbles to the touch.	The shell on its back is just a part of its skin that has cooled and hardened. The shell easily crumbles if something so much as touches it.
A bit of clarification here, since, in Magcargo's case, "body" and "skin" are interchangeable.
220 - Swinub
エサを　さがすため　はなを こすりあわせ　じめんを　ほっていると たまに　おんせんを　ほりあてる。	エサを　さがすため　はなを こすりあわせ　じめんを　ほっている。 たまに　おんせんを　ほりあてる。
When it digs into the ground with its snout to find food, it will very rarely strike a hot spring.	It digs into the ground with its snout to find food. Very rarely, it will strike a hot spring.
The entry was split into two sentences.
222 - Corsola
あたまの　さきは　あるていど そだっと　はえかわる。きれいなので たからものとして　にんきが　たかい。	どんどん　そだっては　はえかわる あたまの　さきは　きれいなので たからもの　として　にんきがたかい。
The points on its head will grow back after a certain time. These points are prized as personal treasures due to their beauty.	The points on its head, which will steadily grow back, are prized as personal treasures due to their beauty.
Entry was rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
223 - Remoraid
からだのなかに　すいこんだ １０リットルの　みずを　いっしゅんで ふきだし　エサを　ねらいうちする。	ねらいは　せいかく。ふきだす　みずは １００メートルさきで　うごく えものに　かならず　めいちゅうする。
It instantly squirts out the 10 liters of water it has stored in its body to snipe its prey.	Its aim is precise. The water it shoots out can hit a moving target more than 100 meters away.
Remoraid's ability to store 10 liters of water was later assigned to Qwilfish.
224 - Octillery
ふきだす　すみは　みずのなかで いきおいよく　ひろがって　すがたを かくすのに　てきしている。	がんじょうな　いしあたま。 きゅうばんつきの　あしを　からませ ひたすら　あたまで　うちすえる。
The ink that it shoots out spreads quickly through the water. It uses the ink to conceal its body.	It has a sturdy, solid head. It traps enemies with the suckers on its legs, then strikes them with its head.
Octillery's ink-based defense wouldn't get mentioned in the games until Ruby and Sapphire.
225 - Delibird
１にちの　ほとんどを　えさはこびに ついやす。そうなんした　ひとが ギフトのえさで　たすかるときもある。	１にち　ずっと　えさをはこんでる。 そうなんした　ひとが　デリバードの えさで　たすかった　はなしもある。
They spend most of the day carrying food. Sometimes, people who get lost are saved by the food Gift has.	They spend all day carrying food. There are tales of people who got lost that were saved by the food Delibird had.
Delibird lost its leisure time in the final game.
226 - Mantine
すいめんを　すべるように　およぐ。 かそくしてくると　そのまま　うかんで くうちゅうを　とんでいく。	ゆうぜんと　うみを およぐ。 たべのこしを　ねらった　テッポウオが くっついていても　きにしていない。
It swims on the water's surface as if it were gliding. If it builds up enough speed, it can take off into the air.	It swims leisurely through the sea. It doesn't mind if Remoraid cling onto it to wait for leftover food.
The early entry was rewritten and moved to Silver. The final Gold entry mentions its symbiotic relationship with Remoraid, but this is not the first time it was introduced; that honor goes to Remoraid's entry in the Silver of SW99.
227 - Skarmory
みかけは　おもそうだが ホネの　なかは　くうどうで　かるく へいきで　おおぞらを　とびまわる。	じょうぶな　ハネは　おもそうだが ホネのなかは　くうどうで　かるく じゆうに　おおぞらを　とびまわる。
It looks heavy on the outside, but its bones are hollow, so it lightly cruises the open sky without concern for itself.	Its sturdy feathers look heavy, but its bones are hollow, so it lightly cruises the open sky to its heart's content.
The early entry is more vague as to what looks heavy. Same basic content, though.
228 - Houndour
くちから　ふきだす　ほのおで やけどすると　いつまでたっても キズぐちが　うずいてしまう。	なかまに　れんらく　するときと えものを　おいつめるときでは なきごえの　しゅるいが　ちがうのだ。
If you get burned by the fire it spews from its mouth, the pain from the wound will never go away, no matter how much time passes.	It uses different kinds of cries for when it's contacting others in its pack than when it's chasing down prey.
Houndour's entry was copied in its entirety as Houndoom's final Gold entry.
229 - Houndoom
あいてを　ずたずたに　きりさいても たたかうことを　やめない とうそうほんのうの　かたまり。	くちから　ふきだす　ほのおで やけどすると　いつまでたっても キズぐちが　うずいてしまう。
The living embodiment of aggressive instincts, it will not stop fighting even after its opponent has been ripped apart.	If you get burned by the fire it spews from its mouth, the pain from the wound will never go away, no matter how much time passes.
Houndoom's extreme aggression has never been mentioned again.
230 - Kingdra
うみのそこ　ふかくに　せいそく。 みずから　だした　スミにおおわれ すがたは　かくにん　できない。	ふだんは　かいていどうくつに みを　ひそめているらしい。あくびで うずしおを　はっせいさせる。
It lives deep in the ocean. It makes itself unidentifiable by shrouding itself with self-made ink.	It seems that they usually hide in underwater caves. They can generate whirlpools by yawning.
Kingdra has two different methods of hiding itself. Wait, is the stuff coming out of its nostrils in its older design supposed to be ink? Note that both Octillery and Kingdra had lines about hiding themselves in ink and neither made it to the final game.
231 - Phanpy
まだ　よちよちあるき　だが からだの　５ばいの　エサをたべて どんどん　おおきくなっていく。	じゃれている　つもりで はなを　ふりまわしてくるが かなりの　ちからなので　あぶない。
Though still a toddler, it grows bigger and bigger by eating five times its body weight in food.	It swings its trunk around as if playing, but is very dangerous due to its sheer strength.
Phanpy's massive appetite seems to have been a dropped concept.
232 - Donphan
その　するどく　かたい　キバと さらに　がんじょうな　ひふでの たいあたりは　いえをも　こわすほど。	するどく　かたい　キバと さらに　がんじょうな　ひふでの たいあたりは　いえをも　こわすほど。
Its firm, sharp tusks and even sturdier skin make its Tackles strong enough to bring down an entire house.	The firm, sharp tusks and even sturdier skin make its Tackles strong enough to bring down an entire house.
Entry was rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
233 - Porygon2
プログラムが　こうどに　なり いちどに　たくさんの　けいさんが できるように　なった。	わくせい　かいはつが　できるよう ポリゴンを　バージョンアップしたが まだ　そらも　とべない。
Its programming has advanced to the point where it can perform many simultaneous computations.	Porygon's software has been updated for planetary development purposes. It still can't fly, though.
Its early entry is completely different. It's not interesting, but it's different.
237 - Hitmontop
こうそくで　かいてん　しつづけても めを　まわしたりしないよう とくべつな　かんかくを　もっている。	おどるように　かれいで　なめらかな キックわざに　みとれていると きつい　いちげきを　おみまいされる。
It has a special ability that prevents its eyes from rolling around when it's spinning at high speeds.	If you get mesmerized by its graceful, dance-like kicking, you'll be dealt a devastating blow.
The old entry is the only one to date that provides an explanation as to how Hitmontop can spin so fast and not dizzy itself.
238 - Smoochum
くちびるが　いちばん　びんかん。 なんでも　まず　くちびるで　さわって どんなものか　かくにんする。	くちびるが　いちばん　びんかん。 なんでも　まず　くちびるで　ふれて どんなものか　かくにんする。
Its lips are the most sensitive part of its body. It touches everything with its lips first to confirm what it's like.	Its lips are the most sensitive part of its body. It feels everything with its lips first to confirm what it's like.
Entry was reworded slightly, but the content is basically the same.
243 - Raikou
あまぐもを　せおっているので いつでも　かみなりを　だせるという でんせつの　いどうポケモン。	あまぐもを　せおっているので どんなときでも　かみなりを　だせる。 かみなりとともに　おちてきたという。
A legendary roaming Pokémon. It's carrying a rain cloud, so it can give off lightning at any time.	It's carrying a rain cloud, so it can give off lightning at any time. It's said to have descended with lightning.
The early entry uses a different word for "anytime" (いつでも vs. どんなときも),while the final entry adds a line about its origin.
244 - Entei
まわりの　くうきが　あたたかいため いつも　かげろうに　つつまれながら だいちを　かけめぐる　ポケモン。	ほえると　かざんが　ふんかする。 みなぎる　ちからを　おさえきれず みちという　みちを　かけめぐる。
This Pokémon rushes across the earth while constantly surrounded by heat shimmers because the air around it is so warm.	When it barks, volcanos errupt. It's unable to control its enormous power, so it rushes from one road to another.
Totally rewritten - the only concept that was kept was its roaming nature.
245 - Suicune
きたなく　にごった　みずも いっしゅんで　きよめるという こうごうしい　いどうポケモン。	いっしゅんで　きたなく　にごった みずも　きよめる　ちからをもつ。 きたかぜの　うまれかわり　という。
A divine, solemn roaming Pokémon. It's said to be able to purify water in an instant, no matter how filthy or muddy.	It has the power to purify water in an instant, no matter how filthy or muddy. Said to be the reincarnation of north winds.

247 - Pupitar
がんばんのような　かたい　カラに おおわれているが　ちからは　すごく あばれると　やまも　くずれてしまう。	がんばんのような　かたい　カラに おおわれているが　ちからは　つよく あばれると　やまも　くずれてしまう。
It's covered in a shell as hard as bedrock, but when its power runs especially out of control, it could cause an entire mountain to collapse.	It's covered in a shell as hard as bedrock, but when its power runs violently out of control, it could cause an entire mountain to collapse.
The old entry uses a different adverb for its violent rampage.
250 - Ho-oh
なないろの　はねを　きらめかせ おおぞらたかく　とんでいくと　いう しんわに　つたわる　ポケモン。	なないろの　みごとな　つばさで せかいの　そらを　とびつづけると しんわに　つたえられる　ポケモン。
Myth and legend speak of this Pokémon flying high in the sky, its rainbow-colored wings aglitter.	This Pokémon is claimed in myth and legend to fly through the world's skies with its magnificent rainbow-colored wings.
The new text specifies that it travels through all the world's skies and is not just confined to one particular region. Also, remember when a certain 10-year-old saw it in Kanto at the start of his journey?
251 - Celebi
そんざいは　ウワサされるものの だれも　くわしいことは　しらない。 げんざい　てってい　ちょうさちゅう。	じかんをこえて　あちこち　さまよう。 セレビィが　すがたを　あらわした もりは　くさきが　おいしげるという。
Although rumored to exist, nobody knows about it in great detail. A thorough investigation is currently underway.	It wanders to and fro across time. It's said that plants thrive at the forests that Celebi's appeared in.
Celebi was the last Pokémon to use this filler entry.

• Azumarill's description was moved from SW99 Gold to final Silver.
• Pineco and Forretress switched entries.

August 17th to Final (Silver)

152 - Chikorita
いい　かおりの　ハッパには まわりを　ようすを　さぐる のうりょくが　ひめられている。	いい　かおりの　ハッパは まわりの　しつどや　おんどを さぐる　のうりょくを　もっている。
Its sweet-smelling leaf conceals the ability to feel its surroundings.	Its sweet-smelling leaf has the ability to feel the humidity, temperature, and other attributes of its surroundings.
Big upgrade to Chikorita's abilities in the final entry.

くびの　まわりから　はっさんする スパイスのような　ここちよい かおりをかぐと　おなかがへってくる。	くびの　まわりから　はっさんする スパイスのような　かおり　には げんきを　ださせる　こうかがある。
There's a pleasant, spicy aroma wafting from around its neck that makes anyone who smells it hungry.	There's a spicy aroma wafting from around its neck. The aroma has an invigorating effect.
Bayleef's leaves have a more useful odor in the final game.
154 - Meganium
メガニウムが　はきだす　いきには かれた　しょくぶつを　よみがえらせる のうりょくが　ひめられている。	メガニウムが　はきだす　いきには かれた　くさきを　よみがえらせる ちからが　ひめられている。
The breath that Meganium exhales is capable of reviving dead vegetation.	The breath that Meganium exhales has the power to revive dead plants.
The old entry uses different terms for plants (植物 vs. 草木) and ability (能力 vs. 力). Other than that, the content is pretty much identical.
156 - Quilava
からだを　おおう　けがわは どんな　ほのおでも　もえない。 よらがんの　なかでも　へいきだ。	からだを　おおう　けがわは ぜったいに　もえたりしない。 どんな　ほのおこうげきも　へいきだ。
The fur covering its body won't burn, no matter how hot the fire. It can keep its cool even in lava.	The fur covering its body will absolutely never burn. It can keep its cool no matter how hot the Fire attack.
This seems like a downgrade for Quilava. Being able to withstand lava seems more impressive than handling Fire attacks.
157 - Typhlosion
もえさかる　たいもうを　こすりあわせ ばくふうをおこを　といら おおわざを　かくしもっている。	もえさかる　たいもうを　こすりあわせ ばくふうを　おこして　こうげきする おおわざを　かくしもっている。
It hides the powerful secret technique of rubbing its blazing body hair together to create an explosion.	It hides the powerful secret technique of rubbing its blazing body hair together and creating an explosion to attack.

It is very rowdy despite its small size. When it bites something, any fangs that fall out will grow back one after another.	It is very rowdy despite its small size. It will bite anything that moves in front of it, no matter what.
Totodile's ability to quickly regrow teeth was transferred to Croconaw...
159 - Croconaw
すいめんから　りょうめと　はなだけ だしたまま　１にちの　ほとんどを みずのなかで　くらしている。	おおぐちを　あけて　こうげき。 かみついたとき　ぬけた　キバは つぎからつぎに　はえてくる。
It spends most of the day underwater, with only its eyes and nose sticking above the surface.	It opens its huge mouth to attack. When it bites something, any fangs that fall out will grow back one after another.
...and Croconaw's entry based on real-life crocodile behavior was removed entirely.
166 - Ledian
せなかの　７つの　もようは よぞらの　ほしのかずに　はんのうして おおきくなったり　ちいさくなる。	せなかの　ほしもようは よぞらの　ほしのかずに　はんのうして おおきくなったり　ちいさくなる。
The seven patterns on its back grow larger or smaller in response to the number of stars in the night sky.	The spot patterns on its back grow larger or smaller in response to the number of stars in the night sky.
This is one of two mentions of Ledian having seven spots on its body. In its SW99 Gold sprite and both of its final sprites, it only has five.
167 - Spinarak
おそわれそうになると　せなかを もちあげ　かおもようを　みせつけ あいてが　おどろくすきに　にげる。	ほそくて　じょうぶな　いとを はりめぐらして　わなを　しかけると えものが　かかるのを　ひたすらまつ。
When about to be attacked, it raises its back to display a face-shaped pattern, scaring away its opponent.	It lays traps using its thin yet sturdy silk, then steadfastly waits for prey to fall in.
While the face on its back being used to frighten predators is implied, it has yet to be outright stated in any game.
168 - Ariados
くちと　おしりの　さきから いとをだし　えものの　じゆうを うばってから　たべはじめる。	つねに　おしりから　でている とくべつな　いっぽんの　いとを たどっていくと　すにつながっている。
It spews silk from its mouth and the tip of its bottom to rob its prey of free movement, then begins to feast.	There is always a special string of silk emerging from its bottom. If you follow it, it will lead you back to its web.
Ariados's entry was changed to dial back the terror, but was rewritten and used many years later in Pokémon Moon.
170 - Chinchou
くらい　かいていでは　しょくしゅの いつも　てんめつ　させている あかり　だけが　つうしんしゅだん。	くらい　かいていでは　いつも てんめつ　している　しょくしゅの あかり　だけが　つうしんしゅだん。
Its only means of communication in the dark depths of the ocean is the light it flashes from its feelers.	Its only means of communication in the dark depths of the ocean is the flashing light from its feelers.
Entry rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
176 - Togetic

It softly flies through the air, searching for a kind person that will make it happy.	If it's not beside a kind person, it loses its pep. It floats in the air without moving its wings.
Note that the old entry specifically states that it flies, not floats, through the air.
177 - Natu
ふだんは　ちじょうで　エサをさがすが ごくたまに　きのえだに　とびのり きのめを　ついばんだりする。	ふだんは　ちじょうで　エサをさがすが ごくたまに　きのえだに　とびのって きのめを　ついばんだりする。
It usually searches for food on the ground, but very rarely it will jump onto tree branches to peck at leaf buds.	It usually searches for food on the ground, but very rarely it will jump onto tree branches and peck at leaf buds.
Ri or tte? They've made their choice; have you?
178 - Xatu
みぎめは　みらいを ひだりめは　かこを　みていると みなみアメリカで　しんじられている。	みぎめは　みらいを ひだりめは　かこを　みていると みなみアメリカで　つたえられている。
In South America, it's believed that its right eye sees the future and its left eye sees the past.	In South America, legend has it that its right eye sees the future and its left eye sees the past.
BELIEF evolved into LEGEND!
179 - Mareep

Its wool grows continuously. In the summer, all of its wool is shed, but it will all grow back in a week.	Its wool grows continuously. In the summer, all of its wool is shed, but it will all come back in a week.
Different terminology here: 生え揃う can refer to teeth or hair coming on, while 元通り means something's going back to its default state. Otherwise, the content is pretty much identical.
181 - Ampharos
シッポの　あかりは　とおくまで とどくので　むかしより　かがりびの かわりとして　だいじに　されていた。	シッポの　あかりは　とおくまで とどくので　むかしより　かがりび として　だいじに　されている。
Because the light from its tail reaches so far, it has been valued as a substitute for a signal fire since ancient times.	Because the light from its tail reaches so far, it has been valued as a signal fire since ancient times.
There's a change in verb conjugation in the final line that doesn't alter the literal translation, but implies that Ampharos is still valued for its tail light.
186 - Politoed
３びき　いじょう　ニョロトノが あつまると　なぜか　どなるような なきごえで　がっしょうを　はじめる。	３びき　いじょう　ニョロトノが あつまると　かならず　どなるような なきごえで　がっしょうを　はじめる。
For unknown reasons, when three or more Politoed meet, they will start a chorus of bellowing cries.	When three or more Politoed meet, they will always start a chorus of bellowing cries.
The croaking chorus changed from possibility to certainty.
188 - Skiploom
たいようの　ひかりを　あびるため はなびらを　ひろげるだけでなく ちかづくため　そらにうかんでしまう。	たいようの　ひかりを　あびるため はなびらを　ひろげるだけでなく ちかづこうと　そらにうかんでしまう。
To bask in sunlight, it not only unfolds its petals, but floats into the air to get closer.	To bask in sunlight, it not only unfolds its petals, but floats into the air to try and closer.
The reverse seems to have happened here.
189 - Jumpluff
きせつふうに　ながされつつ しそんをふやすため　わたほうしを せかいの　あちこちに　ばらまく。	きせつふうに　ながされつつ しそんを　ふやすため　わたほうしを せかいの　あちこちに　ばらまく。

When the sun sets, it closes its petals and stands perfectly still. Without sunlight, it doesn't have much energy.	In the daytime, it runs around with energy and reckless abandon. When the sun sets, it stops moving.
Most of Sunflora's SW99 Silver entry is just the SW99 Gold entry reworded. The old text also uses a different word for sun (太陽 vs. 日).
194 - Wooper
ちじょうで　こうどう　するとき どくの　まじった　ぬるぬるの ねんまくが　ぶんぴつ　される。	ちじょうを　あるきまわるときは ぬるぬるした　どくの　ねんまくで からだのひょうめんを　おおっている。
When moving around on the surface, it secretes a slimy mucous membrane mixed with poison.	When walking about on the surface, it covers the outside of its body with a slimy, poisonous mucous membrane.

It has a laid-back personality and often bumps its head against things while swimming, like the bottoms of rocks or boats.	It has a laid-back personality and often bumps its head against things while swimming, like rocks on the riverbed or the bottoms of boats.
Something seems to have gone wrong in the second line. Is it hitting its head on floating boulders?
196 - Espeon
４つの　みみを　はたらかせることで めを　とじていも　まわりで なにがおきているか　すべてわかる。	くうきの　ながれを　よみとることで これからの　てんきや　あいての うごきなどを　すべて　あててしまう。
By using all four of its ears, it can sense everything going on around it even when its eyes are closed.	By reading air streams, it can predict things like the weather and its opponent's movements.
Apparently those things below its ears originally weren't tufts of fur, but an additional set of ears!
199 - Slowking
かまれたとき　あたまに　しみこんだ どくその　おかげで　ただならない のうりょくに　めざめた　ヤドン。	かまれたとき　あたまに　しみこんだ どくそに　よって　ただならない のうりょくに　めざめた　ヤドン。
Thanks to the toxins that seeped into its head when it was bitten, this Slowpoke has awakened to its incredible abilities.	Due to the toxins that seeped into its head when it was bitten, this Slowpoke has awakened to its incredible abilities.
Entry rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
200 - Misdreavus
うしろがみを　ひかれるような かんじが　するとき。はいごに ノロワラが　あらわれたのだ。	いきなり　うしろがみに　かみつき ひっぱっては　ひとの　おどろく すがたをみて　よろこんでいる。
Whenever you feel like someone is tugging the hair on the back of your head, it means a Norowara has appeared behind you.	It suddenly bites down and tugs on the hair on the back of people's heads, and is delighted to see their startled reactions.
No longer content with mere hair playing, biting was added to Misdreavus' grade school-level tomfoolery. The early text is more evidence that Misdreavus was going to inherit Norowara's name, even after the name no longer made sense.
202 - Wobbuffet
くらいところに　ひそんでいる。 じぶんから　こうげきは　しないが はんげきのとき　３ばいにしてかえす。	まっくろな　シッポを　かくすため くらやみで　ひっそりと　いきている。 じぶんからは　こうげき　しない。
It lurks in dark places. It will not attack directly, but if attacked, it will return its foe's attack threefold.	It lives quietly in the dark in order to hide its pitch-black tail. It will not attack directly.
The old entry hints at its use of Mirror Coat and Counter to do damage, but twicefold would be more accurate.
205 - Forretress
きの　かわなら　なんでも　たべる。 たべのこしたぶんは　カラに　はりつけ カラを　がんじょうに　していく。	きに　くっついたまま　うごかない。 かたいカラの　はへんを　ばらまいて ちかづくものを　おいはらう。
It will consume any kind of tree bark. It plasters any leftover bark to its shell to make it stronger.	It is immovably fastened to its tree. It drives away anyone that comes near by scattering pieces of its hard shell.
Something similar to the old entry appeared in Forretress' slot in the SW99 Gold demo. As previously stated, Pineco and Forretress' final Gold Pokédex entries were switched; one would think that a similar switch happened in Silver too, but by the SW99 Silver demo, Pineco's entry already matched the final text. Note that Pineco's entries in the final game don't mention eating the tree bark, just applying it to its shell.
206 - Dunsparce
とても　しゅうねんぶかい　せいかく。 いちどターゲットに　きめた　えものは どこまでも　おいつづける。	だれかに　すがたを　みられると しっぽで　あなをほって　にげだす。 ハネで　すこしだけ　うかべる。
It has a vindictive personality. Once it has set its sights on its prey, it will hunt them unceasingly.	If someone spots it, it escapes by digging into the ground with its tail. It can uses its wings to float for a bit.
This is even more sinister than its Gold entry! Thing was vicious.
208 - Steelix
つちの　おもさで　あっしゅくされ ダイヤモンドよりも　はるかに　かたい からだを　もつようになった。	イワークが　１００ねん　いじょう いきると　からだの　せいぶんが ダイヤのように　へんかする　という。
The weight of the earth has compressed its body, making it even harder than a diamond.	It's said that if an Onix lives for 100 years, its body transforms into a diamond-like composition.
The old entry is another example of a reworded Gold entry, something that was thankfully changed.
210 - Granbull
いままでに　かいだことのない においを　さっちすると ひくい　なきごえで　うなりだす。	おもすぎる　キバのため いつも　くびを　かしげている。 ただし　かみつきは　きょうりょく。
When it picks up an odor that it's never smelled before, it emits a low-pitched growl.	It's always tilting its head because its fangs are to heavy. However, it does has a powerful bite.
Both of Granbull's older entries give it a more antisocial personality. In the final game, it's merely timid.
211 - Qwilfish
いっしゅんで　１０リットルの　みずを のみこみ　いぶくろを　ふくらませ じぶんのからだを　おおきく　みせる。	ぜんしんの　ちいさな　ハリは うろこが　へんかしたもの。 ささると　どくで　きをうしなう。
It can swallow 10 liters of water in a single gulp, making its stomach swell and its body appear bigger.	The small spikes covering its body are actually transformed scales. If touched, the toxins they release cause fainting.
The info in the older entry was reused in Crystal, though that entry doesn't mention the exact amount of water.
212 - Scizor
みずべを　このむ　ことから クラブなどに　ちかい　しゅるいの ポケモンだと　かんがえられる。	ハネを　つかっても　とべないが こうそくで　はばたかせることで たいおんを　ちょうせい　できる。
Since it prefers to spend its time by the waterside, it's conceivable that this Pokémon is related to Krabby.	It can't use its wings to fly, but it can adjust its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds.
Now that's just silly. Maybe this entry was originally used for something else...?
213 - Shuckle
いつのまにか　おかれた　ツボに はいりこむ。ほんとうの　からだが どうなっているか　わかっていない。	こうらに　きのみを　たくわえている。 おそわれないように　いわの　したに こもって　じっとしている。
It sneaks into jars unnoticed. Nobody knows what its true form looks like.	It stores berries in its shell. It hides motionlessly under rocks to avoid being attacked.
The old text seems to confirm that the container in Shuckle's early design is an actual man-made jar. The new entry mentions that it hides under rocks, which only makes sense with its newer, more natural design.
216 - Teddiursa
きのぼりが　じょうずで たかいところの　きのみも　あちてくる まえに　とって　たべてしまう。	たべものが　へる　ふゆのまえに あちこちに　たべものを　かくす しゅうせいを　もっている。
It's good at climbing trees, so it can pick and eat berries in high places before they fall off.	It has a habit of hiding food in various places before winter, when food is scarce.
Teddiursa's climbing prowess is only mentioned in the older entry.
217 - Ursaring
においも　かぎわける　のうりょくに すぐれていて　いつも　はなを つきだしながら　あるいている。	どんな　においも　かぎわける。 じめんふかくに　うまっている たべものも　のこらず　みつけだす。
It's excellent at distinguishing odors. It's constantly walking around with its nose in the air.	It can sniff out any odor. It will find every last bit of food, even if it's buried deep underground.
Ursaring's olfactory discernment was upgraded in the final text.
219 - Magcargo
ようがんのような　からだ　だが たいようの　ひかりを　あびると なぜか　ひふが　かたまってしまう。	せなかの　カラは　くずれやすいが ときどき　たいないを　めぐっている こうねつの　ほのおが　ふきだす。
Its body is similar to lava. For unknown reasons, the skin hardens when exposed to sunlight.	The shell on its back is very fragile. At times, one of the superheated flames circulating inside its body will jet out from the shell.
The old entry is the only explanation in the series as to what makes Magcargo's lava harden.
221 - Piloswine
りょうめは　けで　おおわれているが おとを　たよりに　ターゲットめがけ いっちょくせんに　つっこんでいく。	あいて　めがけて　とっしんするとき せなかの　たいもうが　さかだつ。 おとに　ものすごく　びんかん。
Both of its eyes are obscured by hair. When it charges into its targets, it has to use sound as a guide.	When it uses Take Down to charge at an opponent, the hair on its back stands on end. It is extremely sensitive to sounds.
While the final description still mentions that it's sensitive to sound, by Diamond & Pearl the developers made Piloswine reliant on its nose to "see" instead.
223 - Remoraid
きゅうばんの　ように　へんかした せびれで　ハネエイに　くっつき たべのこしを　わけてもらっている。	きゅうばんの　ように　へんかした せびれで　マンタインに　くっつき たべのこしを　わけてもらっている。
It uses its modified, suction cup-like dorsal fin to cling onto a Haneei, with which it shares leftovers.	It uses its modified, suction cup-like dorsal fin to cling onto a Mantine, with which it shares leftovers.
The description had to be updated after Mantine's name changed.
224 - Octillery
いわあなに　もぐりこむ　せいしつの もちぬしで　ねむくなると　ほかの オクタンの　すあなに　もぐりこむ。	いわあなに　もぐりこむ　せいしつの もちぬしで　ねむくなると　ほかの オクタンの　すあなを　うばう。
It has a tendency to crawl into small caves. When it gets sleepy, it will sneak into the nests of other Octillery.	It has a tendency to crawl into small caves. When it gets sleepy, it will steal the nests of other Octillery.
Entry rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
226 - Mantine
おおうなばらを　じゆうに　およぐ。 スピードが　のってくると　そのまま なみのうえに　とびだしてしまう。	ひろい　うみを　じゆうに　およぐ。 スピードが　のってくると　そのまま なみのうえに　とびだしてしまう。
It swims freely about in the deep blue sea. Once it builds up speed, it leaps out over the waves.	It swims freely about in the open sea. Once it builds up speed, it leaps out over the waves.
The old entry is more poetic in its description of the word ocean.
227 - Skarmory
はげしい　かぜが　ふきすさぶ たかいばしょに　すが　あるため ひふが　どんどん　かたくなった。	いばらの　なかに　すをつくる。 トゲで　きずつきながら　そだてられた ひなの　ハネは　かたくなる。
It nests at high altitudes where violent winds blow. Those winds steadily harden its skin.	It makes its nest in a thorny shrub. The feathers of its chicks harden as they are pricked by thorns.
Skarmory's nesting location and method for toughening its skin were both completely different in the early entry.
229 - Houndoom
ひふの　いちぶが　かたまって まるで　ホネが　むきだしに なっているかのように　みえる。	ぶきみな　とおぼえを　きいた ポケモンは　ふるえ　いちもくさんに じぶんの　すに　もどる。
Sections of its skin have solidified, giving off the impression of exposed bones.	When other Pokémon hear its eerie howls, they shiver and then go straight back to their nests.
The old entry is the only one that offers an explanation for the bone-like ridges on the Houndour family's backs.
230 - Kingdra
みずから　はきだした　スミで からだを　おおいかくしているため すがたを　かくにん　できない。	ちからを　たくわえるため　ふかい かいていで　ねむっているらしい。 めざめると　たつまきに　なるという。
It always covers its body with the ink it spits out, so no one has been able to confirm what it looks like.	It seems to rest at the bottom of the ocean to store up energy. When it awakens, it's said to create a waterspout.
The old text -- yet another reworded SW99 Gold entry -- was rewritten to something more unique.
231 - Phanpy
てあしより　じゆうに　うごかせる ながい　うわあごを ふりまわし　てきを　おいはらう。	あいじょう　ひょうげんで　はなを ぶつけてくるが　ちからが　あるので きをつけないと　ふっとばされる。
It swings its long upper jaw, which it can move more freely than its limbs, to drive away its enemies.	It smacks things with its trunk as a display of affection, but it's so powerful that if you're not careful, you'll be sent flying.
Phanpy's trunk went from a defense tool to an implement of play. Also, "upper jaw" seems like a weird way to refer to a trunk.
232 - Donphan
キバが　ながくて　おおきくほど むれのなかでの　ランクが　たかい。 キバがのびるには　じかんがかかる。	キバが　ながくて　おおきいほど むれのなかでの　ランクが　たかい。 キバがのびるには　じかんがかかる。
The longer and larger its tusks, the higher its rank in the herd. Its tusks take a long time to grow.
The old entry uses the wrong form of 大きい (big): 大きく is adverbial, while 大きい is adjectival. Since it's referring to the size of the tusks, 大きい is correct.
237 - Hitmontop
くるくる　まわって　キックをはなつ。 こうそくで　まわっていると そのまま　じめんに　もぐってしまう。	くるくる　まわって　キックをはなつ。 こうそくで　まわっていると そのまま　じめんに　もぐっていく。
It spins around and unleashes kicks. If it starts spinning fast enough, it will burrow underground.	It spins around and unleashes kicks. If it starts spinning fast enough, it will start to burrow underground.
Slight change in conjugation on the third line.
239 - Elekid
てんきの　よくない　ひは あおじろい　でんりゅうが ツノの　あいだに　ながれている。	どんなに　はげしい　あらしでも かみなりが　なっていれば たのしそうに　あそびまわる。
On days when the weather is poor, bluish-white currents can be seen flowing through its horns.	No matter how severe the storm, as long as there's lightning in the air, it will play around happily.
The old and new texts were later combined to make its Crystal entry.
241 - Miltank
こどもが　うまれたときに　しぼった ミルクには　いつもより えいようが　たっぷり　つまっている。	こどもが　うまれたときに しぼられた　ミルクには　いつもより えいようが　たっぷり　つまっている。
After it gives birth, its squeezed milk will be more nutritious than usual.	After it gives birth, milk squeezed from it will be more nutritious than usual.
Entry slightly rewritten, but the content is basically the same.
245 - Suicune
すがたを　みせるとき なぜか　きたかぜが　ふくといわれる だいちを　かけめぐる　ポケモン。	すがたを　あらわしたとき なぜか　きたかぜが　ふくといわれる だいちを　かけめぐる　ポケモン。
This Pokémon rushes across the earth. It's said that somehow, whenever it shows itself, the north winds will blow.	This Pokémon rushes across the earth. It's said that somehow, whenever it appears, the north winds will blow.
The old entry uses a different word for show (見せると vs. 現したと). Other than that, the content is identical.
246 - Larvitar
やわらかい　からだは どんな　こうげきの　ショックも きゅうしゅうして　やわらげる。	ちちゅう　ふかくで　うまれる。 まわりの　つちを　たいらげないと ちじょうに　でてこれない。
Its light and limber body will absorb and soften the blow from any attack.	It is born deep under the ground. It must devour the surrounding soil to make its way to the surface.
An entry on Larvitar's defensive capabilities changed to a more interesting description of its birth.
247 - Pupitar
さなぎの　じょうたい　だが じゆうじざいに　うごきまわれる。 かたいカラで　とっしんしてくる。	カラに　おおわれているが　じゆうに とびまわれる。かたさと　はやさを もつので　はかいりょく　ばつぐんだ。
Even in a pupal state, it can move around freely. It rushes at the enemy with its solid shell.	Though encased in a shell, it can hop around freely. Its toughness and speed make it highly destructive.
Both entries impart the same information, neither of them taking into account that Pupitar isn't particulary fast.
248 - Tyranitar
ちじょうで　もっとも　かたいと いわれる　おでこを　つかった とっしんで　こわせないものは　ない。	あたりの　ちけいを　かえるぐらい あさめしまえの　ちからもち。まわりを きにしない　ふてぶてしい　せいかく。
The forehead is said to be the hardest part of its body. There's nothing that it can't crush.	It's so powerful that it can alter nearby terrain without breaking a sweat. It is so brash and cocky that it pays no heed to anything around it.
A kinda impressive fact about its head changed to a very impressive fact about its destructive power.

• Azumarill and Porygon2's descriptions moved from SW99 Silver to final Gold.
• Houndour's SW99 Silver entry became Houndoom's final Silver entry.

• Ledian was originally known as the Seven Spot Pokémon, as while it only has five spots, when its wings are deployed it does appear to have seven of them, as one gets cut in half.
• Crobat lost its "X" category in favor of sharing the same category as its pre-evolution counterparts.
• Politoed's category used a different reading of 蛙 (kawazu vs. the final game's kaeru).
• Both Umbreon and Murkrow were originally classified as Darkness Pokémon.
• Shuckle and Sneasel's categories were changed after their designs were revised.
• Piloswine had the same category as Swinub through at least Spaceworld 1999.
• The category for Remoraid and Octillery was originally written as jetto in katakana. After SW99, it was changed to the hiragana ふんしゃ, funsha.
• There's a bit of wordplay in Suicune's early category: 天の川 is the Japanese term for the Milky Way, which literally means "Heavenly River", as seen in the myth of "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". This is fitting, as Suicune's wavy tail can be seen as evoking the flow of water.
• Larvitar started out as the Bagworm Pokémon, which might have been mistakenly assigned to it instead of the yet to be added Pineco. It was then briefly known as the Baby Pokémon before getting its final category.
• Pupitar originally shared the same category as Metapod and Kakuna. It was ultimately given a category which literally translates to "Bullet Shell".
• Celebi was the Plant Pokémon; the time travel concept was presumably not developed until its Pokédex entries were finally written.

• Wobbuffet gained 18.0 kilograms after they figured out what they were doing with it concept-wise.
• Forretress was originally thrice as tall as Pineco, but was later changed to just double Pineco's height, and an extra 30 kilograms were added to its weight.
• Steelix lost 50 kilograms, which would have put it out of the upper range of a Heavy Ball if it could actually be found in the wild.
• After Scizor changed from Bug/Flying to Bug/Steel, it gained almost 40 kilograms.
• Slugma and Magcargo switched dimensions.
• Both Corsola and Remoraid were originally very lightweight, but later gained 3.0 and 9.3 kilograms respectively.
• Hitmonlee weighs 49.8 kg, and Hitmonchan weighs 50.2 kg. Hitmontop originally split the difference with a weight of 50.0 kg, but lost 2 kilograms (and 0.2 meters) at some point after Spaceworld 1999.
• Tyranitar originally weighed less than its pre-evolution, Pupitar. Both its weight and height were later increased to put it on par with Dragonite.
