シッポの ほのおは せいめいりょくの |
The flame on its tail is a sign of its vitality. |
The new entry gets rid of the text about rain and wind, though a similar detail appears in its Red & Blue entry. |

023 - Ekans |

024 - Arbok |
おなかの おそろしい かおもようを |

New entry clarifies that the markings on Arbok's belly aren't an actual face, and adds a mention of Arbok poisoning its prey. |

059 - Arcanine |
その どうどうとした すがたから |

073 - Tentacruel |

Jellyfish's mouth arms and tentacles are indeed informally referred to as ashi, but Pokédex shouldn't be informal. |
077 - Ponyta |
かろやかに そうげんを かけぬける。 |

The old text mostly goes over info from its Red & Green entry, while the final entry has new information. |

The two sentences in the old entries were combined. |
093 - Haunter |
ほんとうに なにも みえない |

The two sentences in the old entries were combined. |
122 - Mr. Mime |

むかし いくさが おこるたびに |
It's said that in the past, whenever war |
Slight rewording, but the content is pretty much the same. |

おおきく がんじょうな からだで |
It uses its large, sturdy body to block |
The word kodomo is one of the Japanese nouns most interchangeable among countable/single, mass, and collective/plural (it was plural centuries ago); tachi following it pluralizes it clearly. |
036 - Clefable |
ちいさな おとも きこえるため |
They say that it lives quietly in quiet, |
Old description doesn't mention its ears, but they should be apparent by just looking at its sprite. |

さいしょは しろくて 1ぽんの |
