Pokemon Diamond and Jade are two versions of the bootlegged versions of Keitai Denjū Telefang.

Translation

The translation has a reputation of being very poor. It is notorious for its Engrish with quotes such as "Some points of 4 lost!" Nearly all the characters' and Denjū's names change in translation. For example, Shigeki becomes Bek. Kuriputo becomes Kuribute. T-Fanger, a term for people who use Denjū, becomes T-Mildew, Milde-T, and Mildew-T. Another notable characteristic of this translation is the abundant swearing.

Bugs and Glitches

Pokémon Diamond on an original Game Boy.

A comparison of the original intro and the bootleg intro. Note the different colors.

• The game won't load a save on some carts. Depending on the emulator, selecting "Contin[ue]" when you have a saved game will either cause the game to freeze entirely (which means you cannot do anything until you reset the emulator) or act as if there is no saved game. The problem is NOT the saved data; the saved data is actually present, but the bootleg cannot load it properly. If you save on Diamond, then play Power and import the save (possible with VisualBoyAdvance), it will load the save fine; however, the nicknames will be messed up.
• Dialing secret Denjū causes the game to crash. This makes it impossible to obtain secret Denjū without cheat codes.
• Selecting "Prop" when you have no items causes the game to crash.
• Pressing A+B+Select+Start simultaneously causes the game to crash.
• Pressing Start after the Game Over screen causes the game to crash.
• Rapidly pressing B somewhere in the phone menu screen sometimes causes the game to crash. How this happens exactly is currently unknown.
• You can't name yourself; you are automatically named "Bek."
• You can't nickname Denjū; they are auto-nicknamed (with the 6-character limit that the original already had). Additionally, the Lampgela that you obtain in the game is nicknamed "o."
• The color palette is glitched in the intro.
• You can't create your own tunes. When attempting to do so, you hear screeching noises, making this feature unusable.
• There is a glitch in Ion Island where the door sometimes locks up after beating Gypsophi.
• On some carts, you can't pick up vases after you shut off the power. However, considering that on some carts that you can't save, this glitch won't be noticeable to most people.
• When playing in monochrome mode, the title screen is invisible until you press Start, at which point it darkens and becomes visible.
• When playing in monochrome mode, the background of the letters in the phone menu screen are darker than they should be.
• Credits are removed, and just has a modified "THANK YOU FOR YOUR PLAYING!" text.
