Pokemon card packs, can someone help me? (self.asklemmy)

I know nothing about Pokémon; it completely skipped me somehow growing up in the 90s. Now, my nephew is asking for Pokémon card packs for Christmas. I looked on Amazon, since I'll need to ship anyway, but was royally confused by colors and boosters and foils.

He has like a dozen cards now, but wants more to play with friends at school.

What the hell am I supposed to be looking for?

Ask! I am sure your nephew will be glad to give you a not-so-short summary of the entire Pokemon universe. (Most kids that have hobbies like that usually have every tiny detail memorized and are willing to show off their expertise.)

I don't think I could handle that. I will ask my sister to do it and ask for a summary

Man after my own heart.
