A video of the intro of Telefang 2 (Speed version). Probably very few of you have ever heard of this game, so let me explain what it is. It's a Japanese-exclusive RPG for the GBA, produced by Smilesoft and published by Natsume. It plays a bit like Pokémon, but you use cellphones in this game. You use them to call other Denjuu (the name of all the monsters) to battle other Denjuu. Nearly all battles are multi-battles (i.e. 2-on-2, 3-on-3, etc.).
The GBC prequel is slightly better known because it was infamously bootlegged by someone in China. The bootleg versions of the original Telefang games were badly translated from Japanese to Engrish, had a bunch of glitches (for example, it can't save properly), and were called "Pokémon Diamond" (not to be confused with the Pokémon Diamond for the DS that came out years later) and "Pokémon Jade." These are not actual Pokémon games! This caused a lot of people to have negative impressions on the original GBC games.
