How to Open Pokemon Booster Packs

Booster packs for the Pokemon trading card game give players and collectors the chance to add new cards to their deck or collection that can't be found in starter or pre-made decks. The cards found in a booster pack depend on the series printed on the packaging (e.g., Platinum, HeartGold &SoulSIlver, Diamond &Pearl), and are randomly chosen from that series. Unless you open the booster pack, there's no way to tell what cards it contains. Opening a booster pack is easy and only takes a few seconds.
