Sequel
- Main article: Telefang 2
- Main article: Differences between Telefang 1 and Telefang 2
Smilesoft released a sequel to Telefang 1 for the Game Boy Advance, with new Denjuu appearances and a slightly different style of battle, where the player can intervene in a middle of a battle to use items on the Denjuu. Move types were also introduced.
The sprites were also redrawn, and had better graphics and music.
Bootleg
- Main article: Pokémon Diamond and Jade
Keitai Denjuu Telefang was originally only available in Japanese. However, certain pirates in China bootlegged it under the name of Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Jade. [1] The translation process was not really successful as Engrish was used, and certain profanities were also used. This resulted in a poor reception towards the game, leading many people to think it is a Pokémon ripoff.
The sprites and maps remain the same, changing only the text to English. The ability to name the character or the Denjuu was also not present, and the game would also not load a save properly. Many other glitches were also present.
