Someone messed up with the name. Politoed is pretty much an actual thing, when animals have too many fingers and stuff. Politoad would've been a frog-themed pun.
But then I have to say: Why the hell is this a Poliwhirl evolution. The swirl is different, the color is different, the body structure is different, no gloves, the eyes are completely different, it is NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME DAMN THING. What the hell. Why didn't they just make another frog line if they wanted to. Or do something else.
And why would you want a pure water-type when you could have Poliwrath, who's part fighting?
Dumb Pokemon, dumb evolution.
Overall: 2/10
The actual name of that is polydactyly. If Sugimori makes a parrot-pterosaur with wings made of fingers, then you can complain about the name. Also, frogs by nature are beings that change form as part of there life cycle. look at this picture
