So I saw this on Bulbapedia's TCG section, and I thought it might be a good idea to bring in some structure in the bootleg sets.

Below are the sets from which we have a good indication which different "versions" does exist.
Early Proxy Series
Mostly acknowledged by Wizards of the Coast
Amada Series
Mostly based on artwork from the Amada sticker sets
Beckett Series
Mostly based on artwork from the Beckett Magazine
[/div]
Note: you get Pokepoints by Funskool products which you could change for Pokemon products (Encyclodpedia, T-Shirt, Cap, Hip Pouch).
Below are groups of cards we know exist, but we haven't split them further, because some research is needed first. Maybe these can be split into more series, or they can be group differently, but not sure yet.
Weird Back Series
Pedigree Cards
Little Spirit / Magic Baby
Newer Chinese Cards
Below are some series we know exist, but we haven't grouped them and we don't know if they've got multiple lists.
Singular series
Various Bootleg sets
Various Proxy sets
This list is still incomplete by the way
