Can you have several versions of the same planeswalker in play at the same time?

Can you for instance have Garruk Relentless Flip in play at the same time as Garruk Wildspeaker or does the "Garruk" subtybe they share prevent that? It is the gatherer wording that confuses me...

Don't forget Kiora, Xenagos, Ugin, Nixilis, Freyalise, Daretti, Teferi, and Nahiri.

It's from an old rulebook. I need to download a more recent version. All that matters is that the second part is still accurate.

205.3j Planeswalkers have their own unique set of subtypes; these subtypes are called planeswalker types. The planeswalker types are Ajani, Bolas, Chandra, Domri, Elspeth, Garruk, Gideon, Jace, Karn, Koth, Liliana, Nissa, Ral, Sarkhan, Sorin, Tamiyo, Tezzeret, Tibalt, Venser, and Vraska.
If a player controls two or more planeswalkers that share a planeswalker type, that player chooses one of them, and the rest are put into their owners graveyards. This planeswalker uniqueness rule is a state-based action. See rule 704.
You always look at the subtype.
