D-Shot

The D-Shoot (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.

The name

"D-Shoot" 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 shoot or shot. It is unknown what it would be called in an official English translation, although it can be still called D-Shoot.

Use in the plot

Telefang 1

The D-Shoot was used by the main protaganists in Telefang 1 in the human world even before arriving in the Denjuu's world, where it was considered as an "advanced phone". The

Other uses

D-Shoot menu screen in Pokemon Diamond.

D-Shoot menu screen in Speed version.

The D-Shoot also serves as the game's menu screen in both Telefang 1 and 2. In Telefang 1, the choices are as follows:

• Phone book

• View the stats of and call Denjuu. Used to switch the partner Denjuu.

• Picture book

• View information on Denjuu encountered and befriended.

• Ringtones

• Allows customisation of ringtones. Does not work in the bootleg version.

• Items

• Use items on Denjuu.

• Save

• Saves the game. The bootleg cannot load a saved game (even though the save is still present).

Additionally, by pressing SELECT on the D-shoot 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.
