Attached is a zip archive containing:
343.txt: item descriptions
344.txt: item names
382.txt: location names
362.txt: Pokémon names
552.txt: ability names
554.txt: ability descriptions
587.txt: move descriptions

621.txt: species names

All files have entries in numerical order of the respective indices. Enjoy.

A note about encoding: all text is in UTF-8. The game uses smart quotes so the extracted texts also use smart quotes. \n represents a line break.

To download, see post below.

Somebody want to post these on the forum? I downloaded the datas and they got mutilated.
 
Ah, forgot that Windows Notepad can't deal with UNIX linebreaks.

Attached is a new version of the zip, including 612.txt which lists the species names.
 
Ah, I mean 621.txt. As for 362.txt, well I doubt there's anything of consequence in there.

Have my babies Zhen, kthxbai.

The ticket required for sailing on the\nferry S.S. Anne. It has a drawing of a\nship on it.

Interesting, no?

A parcel entrusted in your care.\nYou are supposed to deliver it to your\nchildhood friend who left Twinleaf Town.

Who, what?

A fantastic medicine dispensed by the\npharmacy in Cianwood City. It fully\nheals a Pokémon of any ailment.

Do you nay sayers want ANY more proof?
 
... is that really in there? Hmm. I guess we should have investigated the Japanese data more thoroughly. Or maybe that's where the ideas came from? But anyway, the medicine is used in-game in DP already, for the Psyduck, IIRC.

Anyway, a useful list:
Moves now spelt in CamelCase
DoubleSlap
ThunderPunch
ViceGrip
SonicBoom
BubbleBeam
SolarBeam
PoisonPowder
ThunderShock
SmokeScreen
DynamicPunch
DragonBreath
ExtremeSpeed
AncientPower
SmellingSalt
FeatherDance
GrassWhistle

Here are the Sinnoh myths as translated by NoA:

“Sinnoh Myth”
Betray not your anger, lest ??? will
come.
Weep not with sorrow, or ??? will
draw near.
When joy and enjoyment come natural
as the very air, that is happiness.
Let such be blessed by the hand
of Master ???.
Those words were spoken often
as customary.

“Sinnoh Region’s Mythology”
Long ago, when Sinnoh had just been
made, Pokémon and humans led
separate lives.
That is not to say they did not help
each other. No, indeed they did.
They supplied each other with goods,
and supported each other.
A Pokémon proposed to the others
to always be ready to help humans.
It asked that Pokémon be ready to
appear before humans always.
Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear
to us if we venture into tall grass.

“Sinnoh’s Myth”
Three Pokémon there were.
Into the lakes they dove.
Deep, deep, drawing no breath.
Deeper, deeper they dove.
Into suffocating depths they dove.
Deeper, then deepest they alight.
From the lake floor they rise.
Bearing with them the power to make
vast lands, they rise again.

“Veilstone’s Myth”
A young man, callow and foolish in
innocence, came to own a sword.
With it, he smote Pokémon, which gave
sustenance, with carefree abandon.
Those not taken as food, he
discarded, with no afterthought.
The following year, no Pokémon
appeared. Larders grew bare.
The young man, seeking the missing
Pokémon, journeyed afar.
Long did he search. And far and wide,
too, until one he did find.
Asked he, “Why do you hide?”
To which the Pokémon replied...
“If you bear your sword to bring
harm upon us, with claws and
fangs, we will exact a toll.
“From your kind we will take our
toll, for it must be done.
“Done it must be to guard ourselves
and for it, I apologize.”
To the skies, the young man shouted
his dismay.
“In having found the sword, I have
lost so much.
“Gorged with power, I grew blind
to Pokémon being alive.
“I will never fall savage again.
This sword I denounce and forsake.
“I plead for forgiveness,
for I was but a fool.”
So saying, the young man hurled the
sword to the ground, snapping it.
Seeing this, the Pokémon disappeared
to a place beyond seeing...

In the beginning, there was only
a churning turmoil of chaos.
At the heart of chaos, where all
things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the
Egg gave rise to the Original One.
From itself, two beings the Original
One did make.
Time started to spin.
Space began to expand.
From itself again, three living things
the Original One did make.
The two beings wished, and from them,
matter came to be.
The three living things wished, and
from them, spirit came to be.
The world created, the Original One
took to unyielding sleep...

Look not into the Pokémon’s eyes.
In but an instant, you’ll have no
recollection of who you are.
Return home, but how?
When there is nothing to remember?
Dare not touch the Pokémon’s body.
In but three short days, all emotions
will drain away.
Above all, above all, harm not
the Pokémon.
In a scant five days, the offender
will grow immobile in entirety.

“Sinnoh Folk Story 1”
Pick clean the bones of Pokémon
caught in the sea or stream.
Thank them for the meals they
provide, and pick their bones clean.
When the bones are as clean as can
be, set them free in the water from
which they came.
The Pokémon will return, fully
fleshed, and it begins anew.

“Sinnoh Folk Story 2”
There lived a Pokémon in a forest.
In the forest, the Pokémon shed its
hide to sleep as a human.
Awakened, the human dons the
Pokémon hide to roam villages.

“Sinnoh Folk Story 3”
There once were Pokémon that
became very close to humans.
There once were humans and Pokémon
that ate together at the same table.
It was a time when there existed no
differences to distinguish the two.

I see that bit about marriage was changed...
 
The implication is intact, but yeah... totally saw it coming.

What exactly is "Veilstone Myth" referring to?

I know it. I posted it in some thread. All those Satoshis and Harukas are the names for "Missingno. Trainers". They all have Lv. 5 Koratta and they are of course data-only, they're unused in game. I noticed it when looking on Japanese DP Trainer List.

What the hell is PI? And "Pa" as in "Belle & Pa"?

It's OK. The list would be very useful for me. I was also going to do Trainer Lists on Bulbapedia. But I believe that the full list US DP Trainer list will be available someday. Take your time, Liu.
