Sequel
- Main article: Keitai Denjū Telefang 2
Smilesoft released a sequel to Keitai Denjū Telefang for the Game Boy Advance, with new Denjū appearances and a slightly different style of battle, where the player can intervene in a middle of a battle to use items on the Denjū. Move types were also introduced.
The sprites were also redrawn, and had better graphics and music.
Bootleg
- Main article: Pokémon Diamond and Jade
Keitai Denjū Telefang was originally only available in Japanese. However, pirates in China bootlegged it under the name of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Jade. [1] Their attempt was not very good, as the English is poor with some profanities included.
The sprites and maps remain the same, just that it is English. The ability to name the character or the Denjuu was also not present, and the game would also not load a save properly.
