The D-Shot (D-shotto; Bootleg: D-Shoot) is a central element in both Telefang 1 and 2. It is the cellphone that a T-Fanger uses to call his or her Denjuu for battle. When the battle starts, the Denjuu will take time to arrive in relation to how far away they originate from. This time is measured in turns.
Name Etymology
"D-Shot" comes from the original Japanese D-shotto (Dショット), with the D presumably standing for Denki (電気), meaning electricity.
Capabilities
A D-Shot is the only device that can allow a human to enter an Antenna tree. This is a great asset when one wants to leave the Human World and enter the Denjuu World. It also has the capability to connect with the cellular devices of Denjuu. One can keep track of the numbers they have obtained, and use it to help call their Denjuu friends in the middle of battle.
The protagonists in both of the Keitai Denjuu Telefang games own a D-Shot.
Other uses
The D-Shot also serves as the game's menu screen in both Telefang 1 and 2.
Telefang 1
In Telefang 1, the features of the D-Shot are as follows:
- Index (ずかん)
- View information on the various species of Denjuu encountered and befriended.
- Contacts (電話帳)
- Call Denjuu, view their stats, or delete their number. Calling a Denjuu allows you to switch them in as your partner Denjuu, if they are not currently. At first, there can be a maximum of 70 contacts saved. Later upgrades to the D-Shot increase this number to 150 (after beating the tournament in Freesia), and finally 240.
- Calls (者れき)
- Allows you to check calls that you missed.
- Melo-D (Dメロ)
- Allows customisation of ringtones. Does not work in the bootleg version.
- Items (アイテム)
- Shows an inventory of all items held. You can also give gift items to your partner Denjuu, or use a Phone Card from this menu.
- Texts (メール)
- View messages received while the game was turned off.
- Save (セーブ)
- Saves the game. Many versions of the bootleg cannot load a saved game (even though the save is still present.)
- Options (オプション)
- Change settings, such as turning the ringtone on or off (Manner Mode), turning the visible clock on or off, changing the background color of text, or turning the battle animation on or off.
- Cancel (もどる)
- Closes the D-Shot menu and returns to the main game.
Additionally, by pressing SELECT on the D-shot screen, you get to dial in numbers for Secret Denjuu. This feature is missing from the bootleg as well because the game crashes after the phone is answered.
Telefang 2
In Telefang 2, the features of the D-Shot are as follows:
Contacts (電話帳)
- Call Denjuu, view their stats, delete their number, or set their personal ringtone. Calling a Denjuu allows you to switch them in as your partner Denjuu, if they are not currently.
Items (アイテム)
- Access your inventory of items. The item menu is further divided into Support Items (サポートアイテム), Equipment Items (装備アイテム), Event Items (イベントアイテム), and Fusion Items (改造アイテム).
D-Mode (Dモード)
- Browse the Internet. You can check "What's New" (game guides and information about the Denjuu world), see what the current Wanted Denjuu is, download new ringtones, or play a vase throwing mini-game. D-Mode cannot be accessed while inside of buildings, or in the Human world.
Texts (メール)
- Allows you to check messages, and calls that you missed.
Options (システム)
- Change settings, including turning the ringtone on or off (Manner Mode), turning battle animation on or off, or turning the D-Shot wallpaper on or off.
