Weird HGSS Prerelease Cards

Hello. A long, long time ago I bought these packs of Pokemon cards. They were very cheap so I didn't mind if they were fake or not.. But I am kinda curious now.
These are weird though. Some cards are obviously fake (eg. non-holo Manaphy or Ho-oh & Lugia Legend with misspells), but some cards look extremely legit. They feel the same in hands as my 100% legit cards, I don't see any misspells and suspicious things. There were some weird holo-like cards though which don't look like any holo I've had so far.
Have you ever seen these packs?
Is that possible that someone just mixed legit and fake cards and put them together?

I've never seen them before, but based on the way they look and the contents you name, the packs are counterfeit merchandise, possibly with some actual official cards mixed in.

I'm curious about the weird holos in terms of identifying them.

I recorded a short video because photos don't really show how ''holo'' they are.

they kinda look like mirrors..
P.s. no idea why the video is upside down lol

That lighting does the details of the cards no favors. Can't really make out the pattern.

None of those should be a completely solid mirror in how they reflect light, though.

Wellp, I guess they are fake. I don't know anybody who has those card so I can't really compare them.
But why would someone bother to make some cards ''holo'', but ignore making a Manaphy card holo as well? Lol.
But some cards look extremely legit. Maybe they are the best fakes ever made.. which almost make them original if you cannot even tell the difference, haha. I guess I'm just gonna keep legit-looking ones mixed with my 100% legit cards and keep the obvious fakes somewhere hidden in my room, just for giggles. At least they look quite nice. :D

Well, they don't need to fool experienced collectors. Fooling experienced collectors is too difficult because they know what they're looking for. Counterfeiters are looking to fool people who don't know anything about it or don't know enough about it to not buy counterfeit cards.
