To hype trading for ages and have this is beyond frustrating, I have never seen a trading system like this + make the Trade menu show others' trade wishlists like a community showcase so I don't have to go to another app to get what I want

'TCG' is left over terminology from the 90s. When was the last time you traded a physical card for anything other than cash?
They tend to go with 'Collectable Card Game' or 'CCG' these days. Or even 'Card Game', as you said.
But the initial TCG is inexorably attached to Pokémon, and more importantly for this discussion, its marketing, and has been for decades. They won't ditch it.

A better rename would be Pokemon GTCG Pocket (Pokemon Greedy Trade Card Game Pocket).
