Keitai Denjuu Telefang

Post by Ravenfreak »

Now this is a interesting RPG on the Gameboy Color. There were bootlegs of these games released in the early 00's disguising itself as "Pokemon Jade" and "Pokemon Diamond" when in fact they were poorly translated versions of Telefang Power and Speed editions. These games never got an official release in the US, but I just found out that there's a English patch for the game so English speaking gamers can finally play both versions and understand what's going on lol. In this game you befriend creatures and call them on your cellphone. It's a weird concept but they needed to do something different than what Pokemon was doing. If you want to play them in English here's a link for the patch via Romhacking.net.

Never heard of it, but I'm going to start looking more at these rom hacks in the coming years, recent games are kind of meh and this stuff is more fun imo.

I haven't played the game yet but I have watched the playthrough. Telefang is quite innovative in the area of introducing the idea of befriending creatures and using cell phones to communicate with them. It's quite unique to me.
