Two-in-one

I feel like "counterfeit cards" should not be on the same page as "fan-made cards". They are two very separate things, and this page implies that the difference between them is as much as the difference between various types of fan-made cards. --SnorlaxMonster 14:46, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

On second thoughts, how important is it to note what fan-made and bootleg cards are anyway? They are both fairly obvious. Fake Pokémon exists because they are April Fools' jokes and Pokémon which were widely believed as fakes. We have the page hack games because it lists the fan-made games which are popular in the fandom. This page just states the obvious. --SnorlaxMonster 13:54, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
