Ah, good old Pokemon -wait, what?
Note: Most music files will not currently work because ripway.com sucks. To be fixed soon!
For those who do not know, there are a pair of old GBC games called 'Pokemon Diamond and Jade'. They're infamous for their talk of curry and random swearing and hilarious engrish!
Said games are really badly pirated and translated games called 'Keitai Denjuu Telefang', which was another monster-collecting+fighting game that was only ever officially released in Japan (it also got a Japanese-only sequel). But said piraters tried to pass their poorly translated works as Pokemon games, completely with box art and a different title screen! Within the game though (bar it being in English Engrish and having the odd problem with saving in cases) it was simply the Telefang game, with no Pokemon to be found inside.
'Pokemon Diamond' was the 'Power version' of Telefang, while Jade was the 'Speed version'. (I don't believe they're referring to that sort of speed, but...). Well, have a Telefang box art pic

But it's not a bad game - some tough battles, frustrating mazes, catchy music and very entertaining engrish - what's not to love? ;p
I've decided to replay this game - I actually had a game pak with this as a kid which provided me with many, many hours of confusion. Hope you enjoy it too!
Note I'll throw up tunes when they come up in the game via sound clip player windows! Press play to, well, play, and if it lags it's not my fault.
Warning - swearing is abounds in this game in some stages. But it's engrish swearing so it's all good! ;p
Part One - Down the Rabbit Hole!
Or part of the long intro sequence in which a lot of baseballs happen.

Wow, I can't believe it's not Pokemon!
We're greeted with this highly convincing title screen, which seems to suggest this strange snake thing has three of the Chaos Emeralds. (At this stage the games appears to be as much Sonic as it is Pokemon).
But this is as exciting as the title screen gets, so let's watch the intro video - maybe we can see if there's any Pokemon there.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img440.imageshack.us/img440/667/pokemondiamond04.png)
Any Pokemon here, I wonder?
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img87.imageshack.us/img87/4144/pokemondiamond05.png)
...no, it doesn't seem so. Darn.
...what is that, anyway? Pyramid Head? The local hobo? Who knows!
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img517.imageshack.us/img517/449/bekphonetalk.gif)
Clearly what was found startles what appears to be our HERO™ though.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5365/pokemondiamond09.png)
Suddenly, lots of trees. Maybe it's Viridian forest, or-
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img143.imageshack.us/img143/7400/startertalk.gif)
Oh is it a Pokem-no, it's a...thing. With a phone.
Something tells me we're not in Kanto. Or Kansas.
Our HERO™ would like to tell you that today's LP is brought to you by the letter 'S', as seen on his helmet.

The 'thing' that appeared earlier is now angry. Maybe he doesn't like the letter S? Or maybe he too wonders where all the Pokemon are.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9605/pokemondiamond23.png)
One gets a feeling a showdown is about to go down...
...only the intro video cuts out then as the two things face off. Aww. I was expecting an epic chess duel or something. :< And so much for Pokemon.
We might as well get on with the beginning part of the game!
The main menu screen. It's phonerific.

Look at that character walk about like a pro. Clearly he must be an important character of some sort!

Well... don't believe everything you hear, kid? Already we are informed that there's another world and we can presume the strange creatures are electric monsters.
Because, you know. They were totally packing a lot of electricity? =/
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img408.imageshack.us/img408/5234/pokemondiamond035.png)
And that's why he shall stand in front of it for the time being. You show that tree who's boss!
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img705.imageshack.us/img705/7994/dodgeit.gif)
Suddnly, a wild baseball attacks!
The native baseball is prompt to defend its home tree against any intruders.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9605/pokemondiamond10.png)
Darn right, kid.

![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img696.imageshack.us/img696/12/pokemondiamond12.png)
And the engrish already breaks down for the first time - fly over...what? The tree? The ball? The text boxes!?
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3680/pokemondiamond13.png)
Meanwhile, our HERO™ is also walking about.

Yes, please do.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9060/pokemondiamond16.png)
And another person who comes with her own theme music. They also like jumping!
...actually, that's a lie. EVERYONE in this game likes jumping. It's like the secondary method of speech in the game.

Yes, let's. Oh, boy, I haven't been this excited about seeing a ball in years! (I presume he is also either talking to himself, or his helmet).
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4594/pokemondiamond43.png)

Aha! We know know the protagonist's name, and hence do not have to refer to him as the HERO™ anymore.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img87.imageshack.us/img87/5919/pokemondiamond47.png)
'Sedge may refer to:
- Any of the plants in the family Cyperaceae...
- Any of the caddisflies (Trichoptera), small moth-like insects with aquatic larvae...'

...yes, I suppose that's the case when you're standing next to each other?
He is possibly referring to Bek and Miyor, but it's a typical case of the translation being vague whenever possible. Especially when sedge is concerned.

All of Bek? I mean, all of him? If you say so... ._.
And of course not what are you talking about the baseball is the only life for Bek.

![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img149.imageshack.us/img149/6889/pokemondiamond65.png)

They happen to find a phone, and apparently it is that 'D Shoot'. Exciting times. Meanwhile the phone continues to ring.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img203.imageshack.us/img203/1881/pokemondiamond72.png)
Yes, I don't follow where this is going either, Bek.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img408.imageshack.us/img408/7060/pokemondiamond73.png)
Yeah, something more exciting than the baseball is bound to happen sometime, so get on with it.
![Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang Pokemon 'Diamond' - Keitai Denjuu Telefang](https://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3958/pokemondiamond74.png)

Don't you just hate it when that happens?
And so concludes about half of the intro sequence! More excitement to follow, along with slowly degrading engrish and maybe, gasp, some 'electric monsters'!
