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.

Name Etymology

Shigeki answering the D-Shot in Telefang 1.

"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.

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

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

In Telefang 1, the choices are as follows:

  • View information on Denjuu encountered and befriended.
  • Allows you to check calls that you missed.
  • Allows customisation of ringtones. Does not work in the bootleg version.
  • Shows all items held. You can also give gift items to your partner Denjuu, or use a Phone Card from this menu.
  • 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.

Telefang 2

D-Shot menu screen in Power 2.
D-Shot menu screen in Speed 2.

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.
