Pokemon Bandai 1997 card difference

Hi,

Does somebody know the reason for the difference where one card has Charmeleon as evolution and the other card has a kind of ring and missing Charmeleon ?

If I recall, those are sticker cards. My guess is that the Charmeleon sticker has been peeled away.

Searching on the Internet show more cards having the ring as replacement for the evolution characters but some show different numbers and wording in the text. If somebody could translate it would be a help.
I’m looking for the history and facts around the card.
We know those are sticker cards at current :blush:
