Distribution methods

Methods of distribution of additional content varies a lot, depending both hardware and software. Additional content can be divided in two big groups: content that is already present in-game and is merely unlocked by the download and content that is not in the game, meaning that the downloaded file(s) IS the content. While it may seem useless to preserve the first category's files, as it may result redundant considering the help of hacking, they are essential in some cases, like the Pokémon Wondercards, if you want to obtain an accurate result.
