Blank

Blank(s) are, for lack of a better word, "blank" cards with no writing on. This allows people the option of adding their own art, icons, text, etc. Some refer to them as templates.

Expansion

Expansions in the TCG are also sometimes referred to as "set's". The E-Card era for example has 3 set's, 1 base set called "Expedition" and 2 expansions using the same template called "Aquapolis" and "Skyridge". These set's/expansions expand upon the first set's cards, adding/removing/rebalancing.

F

Fakemon

Fakemon refers to non-canonical Pokemon character sprites and artworks created by fans of the popular Japanese franchise. Since the Pokemon character sprites are relatively small in size, modification of canonical Pokemon can be easily done through graphic-editing programs such as MS Paint or Photoshop. The techniques can range from simple re-colourings, "splicing" new sprites by combining parts of older sprites, or creating new ones altogether from scratch.[1]

Nintendo

Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company headquartered in Kyoto. Nintendo is one of the world's largest video game companies by market capitalization, creating some of the best-known and top-selling video game franchises, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon.

Founded on 23 September 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. By 1963, the company had tried several small niche businesses, such as cab services and love hotels. Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s, Nintendo developed into a video game company in the 1970s, ultimately becoming one of the most influential in the industry and Japan's third most-valuable company with a market value of over $85 billion. From 1992 until 2016, Nintendo was also the majority shareholder for the Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball.[2]
