A lot of Pokemon are available in both versions of each release - only a handful are really "version exclusives," so I don't how this suggestion would work.
Also, I don't see a big problem with two artists doing two pokemon from the same evolution line. Not everyone is going to have the same general approach to composition (stylistically speaking), and while Gastly and Gengar (for example) have the same typing and a lot of the same moves, they're still two different pokemon technically. One poisons people by suffocating them and the other drains the life force out of people by mimicking their shadows... (wow pokemon is pretty grim sometimes). The two compositions will be similar in some ways, but it's highly unlikely that they'll be exactly the same in my view. I spose it's down to Ateno to decide tho.
I wasn't saying people shouldn't, just that they likely wouldn't. Just a general statement.
And the Pokemon that are available in both versions just get split down the middle. All it actually is is an A side and a B side. There's no functional difference, just a cute thing to acknowledge the Pokemon release cycle.
PS: Yes, I'm aware someone already chose Ghastly while Gengar was taken. If someone else would like to claim a Porygon other than Z, I'm not going to be upset. I'm just going to write the same track either way.
