Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Diamond / Y / Alpha SapphireThe aura that emanates from its body intensifies to alert others if it is afraid or sad.
PearlIts body is lithe yet powerful. It can crest three mountains and cross two canyons in one night.
Platinum / Black / WhiteIt has the peculiar power of being able to see emotions such as joy and rage in the form of waves.
HeartGold / SoulSilverThey communicate with one another using their auras. They are able to run all through the night.
Black 2 / White 2 / X / Omega RubyIt uses the shapes of auras, which change according to emotion, to communicate with others.
SunIt can discern the physical and emotional states of people, Pokémon, and other natural things from the shape of their aura waves.
MoonIt’s tough enough to run right through the night, and it’s also a hard worker, but it’s still just a youngster.
Ultra SunIt knows how people and Pokémon feel by looking at their auras. It doesn’t approach dangerous opponents.
Ultra MoonIt uses waves called auras to communicate with others of its kind. It doesn’t make any noise during this time, so its enemies can’t detect it.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
