Bootleg
- Main article: Bootleg version of Keitai Denjū Telefang
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 vulgarities 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 properly.
The secret phone numbers that were of special characters like Musa could only be obtained on the Smilesoft's website, and the player is required to enter the phone number into the D-Shoot. The phone numbers are correct on both bootleg and original versions; however in the bootleg once the call ends and the number should be saved, it does not function properly in the bootleg and will crash.
