Sometime later, bootleg versions of the game titled Pok é mon Diamond and Jade were found, which is how it is best known by English speaking audiences. Keitai Denjuu Telefang, which translates to Mobile Phone Beast Telefang and is usually shortened to just Telefang, was developed by Smilesoft, with the first game launching on November 3, 2000, with two separate versions, Power and Speed. Secret Pok é mon Games, Pok é mon Ripoffs, or Something More? I spoke with several of these individuals including Rachel herself once again, Samuel “obskyr” Messner, Sanqui, Andwhyisit, and Kmeisthax, to find out more about their knowledge of Telefang, the various quality of English translations and the difficulties of trying to create one, video game preservation, and upcoming mongames - a common term used for monster taming games by fan communities. I knew she was a big fan of Keitai Denjuu Telefang, a series of Japan-exclusive monster RPGs for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance, but I had no idea she had been helping with the creation of an English fan translation of the first game or that some of individuals from Team Spaceworld came from the online Tulunk community. Earlier this year, I interviewed monster artist Rachel Briggs, who created the Ken Sugimori style art inspired by unused Pok é mon featured in the Spaceworld 1997 Pok é mon Gold demo and also contributed a few monster designs to upcoming title Monster Crown.
