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?

If he only has a dozen cards and wants to play the game (not just trade) then a starter-deck, maybe with a couple boosterpacks would be a good choice
