Paulywog will never be as wishy-washy as Poliwag

Years ago, I appreciated Pokemon and their infinite number of cards and variations of creatures. And I appreciated the evolutionary steps that you can go thru with each little monster.

I had the nick-name of Pauly Wog (or Pollywog) when I was a kid for a time and I decided to look up the Poliwag card from Pokemon, and order one as a name badge.

Well I've run into a small thing that I didn't know was a problem until now.


Using the same name card, with different powers, different skill levels and just about different everything, without really telling us that it is a different card.

According to http://pkmncards.com/name/poliwag/ there are a plethora of cards named Poliwag


Poliwag

Poliwag

I appreciate their small effort to name a couple of them a different name like:


Misty's Poliwag
89
Gym Challenge
Pokémon - Basic
Water
Common

Misty's Poliwag
87
Gym Heroes
Pokémon - Basic
Water
Common


But even after the renaming one of them, they immediately decided to duplicate it into another card of the same name. So ridiculous!


I guess I promise never to be this confusing.
