BUR #4164 has been approved by @evazion.
rename pokemon_trading_card_game_(game) -> pokemon_tcg_gb
I think just (game) is ambiguous. The real-life Pokémon TCG cards are itself a game.
I would prefer using a short tag. Much like how we used to have pokemon_firered_and_leafgreen but now we have pokemon_frlg.
This tag is about the two TCG games for Game Boy.
- Pokémon Card GB (known as "Pokémon Trading Card Game" in English)
- Pokémon Card GB2: GR-dan Sanjou (never released in English)
For reference, I chose the tag name during the JP -> EN Pokemon BURs because it's what Bulbapedia used.
I'm indifferent to this BUR. However, I think pokemon_tcg_(game) would be a better choice if shortening the tag is desired, since pokemon_tcg_gb is an amalgamation of the EN and JP titles and therefore less officially representative of the former, which is our standard. I don't think (game) is ambiguous seeing how it matches the terminology we use with the pokemon_(game) tag.

You see, Bulbapedia uses the "TCG GB" abbreviation in character names:
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mark_(TCG_GB)
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mint_(TCG_GB)
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Stephanie_(TCG_GB)
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Courtney_(TCG_GB)
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Daniel_(TCG_GB)
etc.
TCG GB would mean simply Trading Card Game for Game Boy. Or maybe "Pokémon Trading Card Game (Game Boy)" which would be accurate for both games. I'd prefer using pokemon_tcg_gb anyway if it's alright.
The Bulbapedia page named Pokémon Trading Card Game (game) is just for the game 1. But our tag pokemon_trading_card_game_(game) is currently for game 1 and game 2 together. mint (pokemon) is a character from game 2, yet she has the same copyright tag.
Backing up for a second, currently we have these two tags:
I would say Pokemon Trading Card Game (Gameboy) is a better qualifier. You can tell right away it's a Gameboy game. *_(game) could be anything, including the tabletop game. Pokemon TCG GB is confusing to me, I wouldn't be able to tell what the abbreviation is for just by looking at the tag, and I imagine most people wouldn't either, it's an obscure game. But given that it only has 29 posts, it's hardly worth quibbling over, so approved.
