The D-Shot (Japanese: Dショット; Romaji: D-shotto) is a central element in both Telefang 1 and 2. It is the phone 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 are. This time is measured in turns.

The name

"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, and shotto, which means shot. It is also known as D-Shoot in the bootleg.

Use in the plot

Telefang 1

The D-Shot was used by the main protaganists in Telefang 1 in the human world even before arriving in the Denjuu's world, where it was considered as an "advanced phone".

Other uses

D-Shot menu screen in Pokémon Diamond.
D-Shot menu screen in Speed version.
D-Shot menu screen in Power 2.
D-Shot menu screen in Speed 2.

The D-Shot also serves as the game's menu screen in both Telefang 1 and 2. In Telefang 1, the choices are as follows:

  • View information on Denjuu encountered and befriended.
  • Allows customisation of ringtones. Does not work in the bootleg version.
  • Allows you to check calls that you missed.
  • Use items on Denjuu.
  • View messages received while the game was turned off.
  • Saves the game. The bootleg cannot load a saved game (even though the save is still present).
  • Change settings, such as turning the ringtone on or off, the clock on or off, the background color of text, or the battle animation on or off.

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.

In Telefang 2, the choices are as follows:

  • Use items on, take items from, and give items to Denjuu.
  • Allows you to check calls that you missed.
  • Change settings, such as turning the ringtone or battle animation on or off.
  • Allows you to set your ringtone.
  • View information on Denjuu encountered and befriended.
