Same game, many spellings
PTCGP and TCGP refer to this mobile card game. “Pocket” can also describe a physical card binder, so the full Pokémon TCG Pocket name helps distinguish the game in a search.
PCL shows up in keyword lists. I could not tie it to a Pocket currency or mode with a source I trust. I am not going to invent an expansion for it.
