The problem with that though, is that like you said, all these plants are direct upgrades to their counterparts. The same goes with the previous upgrades. Twin Sunflower, Spikerock, and Winter Melon are literally direct upgrades to Sunflower, Spikeweed, and Melon-pult. the "They both have their pros and cons" argument doesn't apply here at all. Cold Snapdragon isn't a direct upgrade to Snapdragon, just like Snow Pea isn't a direct upgrade to Fire Pea. The upgrade plants were made regular plants because they were unnecessary as upgrades. It just adds an extra step that isn't needed. Yes, PP and PW are direct upgrades to Peashooter and Wall-nut, but that doesn't mean they're upgrade plants. There is no point in making them upgrades if Twin Sunflower, Spikerock, and Winter Melon aren't changed back to upgrades as well. (And using your logic, I could say Laser Bean, Guacodile, and Stunion should all be upgrades as well) Also the most simple,they wouldn't be able to keep up their 5-6 plants per world if the only plant we get in part 1 is dinonip
