First gen Pokemon cards are pretty iconic! Look out for the original 1996-1999 release dates. The base set is a giveaway, with 102 cards including Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. Check the bottom of the card for a date and 'Wizards of the Coast.' Those early cards also have a distinct thinner font compared to later releases. And don't forget, no symbol on the right means it's from the base set!
Honestly, it's not that hard. Base set, Wizards logo, and look at the date. But real talk, some newer reprints can trick you if you're not paying attention. Always double-check.
