Different species name = different species.
See also: regional forms

what's so wrong in your mind about them being different pokémon?
Illumise and Volbeat exist and I don't see you complaining about it.

>Two species of pokemons that are completely different are the same pokemon
How do regional formsfags explain this? It's like calling an elephant a Burmese horse

But why were they given different species names?
>>53782386
That's because I never remember they exist

Because gen 1 was too simple to do things like forms and gender differences, and gamefreak refuses to retcon things

simple answer is that Gamefreak didn't want to mess up with Kanto's dex numbers.
they want #034 to be always for Nidoking, not Clefairy.
it would also mess up every published magazine, artwork, or reference books.
