    · This was originally an Expansion Sheet (“Vending”) card with an ‘original’ series template.
    · This Articuno, at Lv.34, has the same level as WBSP22 Articuno (US-exclusive artwork Articuno, doesn’t match the ANA promo artwork which we later got in SV). This is the same as the respective JP cards, and would appear to be an error, since the original intention was for levels to be a discriminator able to be used to differentiate two Pokémon Cards that shared the same name. In turning to the TCG GB games to try and figure out which card is the ‘error’ that went fixed, I found no answer – the other Articuno was never adapted for the GB games. Is this Level error why? Maybe, but it should be noted that the other “ANA promo” birds never got adapted for the GB games either. (Adapting *none* of them seems like an overkill solution, but might actually suggest a common problem that they weren’t properly included in some kind of card tracker? It’s a little confusing.)
