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 Denjuu's names change in translation. For example, Shigeki becomes Bek. Kuriputo becomes Kuribute. Another notable characteristic of this translation is the abundant swearing.
Bugs and Glitches
- 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 can't do anything until you reset the emulator) or act as if there is no saved game. The problem is NOT the saved data; the bootleg just can't load it. Interestingly enough, if you save on Diamond, then play Power and import the save (possible with VBA), it will load the save fine, except everything has weird nicknames.
- Dialing secret Denjuu causes the game to crash. This makes it impossible to obtain secret Denjuu 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 is unknown.
- You can't name yourself; you are automatically named "Bek."
- You can't nickname Denjuu; they are auto-nicknamed (with the 6-character limit that the original already had). Additionally, Ranbrage has the odd nickname of "o".
- Color palette is glitched in intro.
- You can't create your own tunes. All you hear is nasty screeching, making this feature unusable.
- There is a glitch in Liz 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 is moot.
- When playing in monochrome mode, title screen is invisible until you press Start, where it darkens at that point.
- When playing in monochrome mode, 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.
