Pokémon trading card game
Hey, so, there's a category called Pokémon Trading Card Game, which is the name of two different things. It's both the name of a Game Boy Color game popular in speedrunning, as well as the name of a physical card game. It is unclear to me if the category is intended to represent the GBC video game or if it represents the real life physical card game, but it is used by both, which is very confusing and makes streams difficult to find. Could this category be split into two separate categories, one for the physical card game (booster pack reveals, top down videos of the game being played IRL) and the GBC game (video game walkthroughs, speedruns, etc)? Please contact me if this explanation doesn't make it clear why this is necessary - I may not have explained it perfectly.

Bumping this idea as it keeps coming up regularly. As much as I love the IRL trading card game, I love the Game Boy game too, if not more. Having to scroll through a sea of IRL TCG streams to hopefully find a Game Boy stream somewhere hidden in there is quite inefficient and having some sort of separation of the two would be amazing, if possible!

Hey, just wanted to bump this and add one more detail. The sequel to Pokémon TCG for GBC *does* have its own category despite being a way, way less popular game! It's come to the point where runners are considering deliberately using the wrong category to make their streams findable amongst a sea of thousands of real life card collector streams.
Please consider splitting the current PTCG category into two - one for the GBC game and one for the actual real life card game.
