Unfortunatly, there is no right answer to this. A Pokemon card's value depend on many factors such as Popularity, Playability, Rarity, Scarcity, and, in some cases, Mintness. Popularity and Playability are self-explanitory. For Rarity, you want to look at the bottom right corner of the card after the set number. A circle represents a common, a diamond represents an uncommon, and a star represents a rare. The rares are also split into three group... Non-holo rare (The most common of all), Holo rare (Second rarest) and Ex holo (Rarest of them all). Scarcity is how easy it is to obtain a particular card depending on how many were printed and how many people are willing to trade them. Finally, Mintness is the card's overall condition. A Mint card has no scratches or dirt, Near Mint has a few light scratches, Good condition is a lot of scratches, and Bad is creased, scratched, and basically unplayable.
For a general price scale, this is your best bet:
Common - a dime at most
Uncommon (That's not a trainer) - twenty cents at most
Non-holo Rare (That's not a trainer) - fifty to seventy-five cents
Holo Rare - Anywhere from $1.50 to $4.00
Ex Rares depend on the card and can range from $2.00 to $45.00
If you are looking for a more accurate price guide, I suggest finding a popular auction site and looking up some prices. Keep in mind, it is not 100% accurate and most of the prices are based on Mint and Near Mint cards... but it is your best bet.
I hope this helps.
PS. Be sure to protect your cards in plastic sleeves (sold at hobby shops) to maintain a card's Mintness.

Yugioh is pretty big where I'm at. Pokemon was short lived between me and my friends for about a couple of months. I personally see Yugioh as a better card game for more options, strategy-wise.

Okay: the stars on the bottom right indicate that it is a "rare" card. Some are rarer than others. The diamond says the card is uncommon. The circle means its common and everyone has them.
The sparkly ones are known as holographic and are worth more than a non-holographic. The Japanese cards are worth more because they are Japanese.
Does this help?

Try searching a card on ebay, and see what prices people have put on the cards.

You will have to consult with my six year old. He has about 600 of those things. I know nothing about them & don't care to.
