1st Print UK Edition:
All cards from this set are categorized by a circular Nintendo seal, a blue Topps logo, and it’s the only print to have black Pokemon names on the description side of the card.
Set #1: Non Holo: Checklist,#1-#76, TV1-TV13
-90 Cards total
Set #2: Silver Holo: Checklist,#1-#76, TV1-TV13~~have a silver/metallic foil. There is no embossing meaning each card’s texture is smooth. The colors look a little deeper in this set compared to the U.S holo, but it could just be my imagination.
-90 Cards total
1st Print (NA)
This print is categorized by an oval shaped Nintendo seal with a blue Topps logo. All the Pokemon names on the description side of the card will be in red for the rest of the printings and english sets. Note that the last nine non holo tv cards of each set (puzzle cards) will no longer differ (as far as I can tell) after this set as there is no Topps logo present to distinguish the last 4 printings different printings.
Set #3: Non Holo: Checklist,#1-#76, TV1-TV13~This is the only time I will count the last 9 non holo tv cards.
-90 Cards Total
Set #4: Silver Holo: Checklist,#1-#76, TV1-TV13~There is no embossing meaning each card’s texture is smooth.
-90 Cards Total
Set #5: Rainbow Holo: Checklist,#1-#76, TV1-TV13~A new holo set is introduced. It is categorized by a rainbow/chromatic shine that gives the card a more colorful shine opposed to the silver holo. There is no embossing in this print meaning each card’s texture is smooth.
-90 Cards Total
Set #6: Rainbow Holo: This set is a little harder to find because it contains cards that are reflective on the characters as well as the background whereas every other holo set is only reflective in the background. It might only be on the TV cards but I am not sure.
-90 Cards Total (Unconfirmed)
2nd Print

Packs/Boxes
The packs and boxes are very difficult to identify from the outside for Series 1
The non-English and UK Series 1 cards come in packs like this:
The boxes have text on one of the sides that says they were manufactured in the UK
You can see the difference in the packs as the U.S. sets have an extra line of text, “Gotta Catch em’ all!”, added in.
Most all of the prints seem to come in Blue logo packs except for the green logo
The box also has a green logo on top of it.
I’ve been told the boxes without a topps logo have the print with pokeball embossing
These cards also come in blue logo boxes apparently.
The holo variations might be indicated by a little price tag in the upper left corner of the pack. This seems to be true for some of the prints where if there is a price tag there will be a silver foil and if there isn’t there will be a rainbow foil. I have been told by many that it’s kind of just a lottery though so don’t take that bit as hard evidence.
price tag pack
Other various boxes
Other
5 Series 1 tins exist that include 5 box topper type cards. They are Meowth, Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur.
7 Oversized promos also exist that look just like the regular cards except slightly bigger. Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur, TV2, TV1 and Pikachu foil.
There are also some cards that were released and restamped in Topps anniversary sets. I have no idea how many there are but I have confirmed the following. 13,36,45,72,74

Boxes/Packs
It seems difficult to identify the holo variation by looking at the box or pack but the logo color seems to be consistent. There are packs with price tags and with out and it seems to be with blue logo packs that with a price tag will come silver holos and without will be rainbow. The black logo packs are hard to find the different holo variation as most seem to be the silver sand.

Non-English
There are 3 sets that were released in other languages. Series 1 contains the exact same cards as the English Series 1. Series 2 is a combination of the English Series 2 and Series 3. Series 3 is an abbreviated set of the English Johto Series 1. I haven’t found any checklist differences between non English languages other than German and French actually have the German and French Pokemon names and titles. As Far as I would assume there is a silver foil for every card in the set. There is something to consider in that there are some cards that may not be unique in Series 1. Checklists cards for Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese do not seem to differ from the English cards as do TV5-TV13 for all non English Sets. Also they seemed to consider dialects with the two Spanish languages, although not every card differs. I’ve added the languages by each series that I have personally confirmed.
Series 1: French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain), Spanish(Latin American), Portuguese
Series 2:French, Italian, Spanish
Series 3: French, German, Italian
