I actually don't know.

I'm guessing Joke Characters contains...well..characters that aren't supposed to be taken seriously.

Novelty Characters contains characters that serve no actual purpose, don't play like normal characters, and are (according to the category) either really overpowered or really underpowered.

Personally, I'd do away with the Novelty Characters category because it basically contains a specific type of joke character. Opinions?
