Telefang: Power Version English translation
携帯電獣テレファング パワーバージョン · Keitai Denjū Telefang: Power Version
The Telefang.net community's complete English translation for the Power Version of Telefang, the long-running fan project that replaces the infamous bootleg.
What's translated
Everything: the story, phone calls, Denjuu names and moves, and all menus. The project started around 2008 on the Tulunk Village forums as a small patch for menus and move names and kept growing, build after numbered build, until it was declared complete in August 2024. The same patch is made for both the Power and Speed versions; this entry covers the Power Version.
Recent updates
The builds after completion fixed graphical glitches in some phone calls, adjusted a few lines, and added a character encoding marker for trading to allow future translations into other languages. Version 162, from December 2025, no longer erases a save that the game flags as corrupt and lets you try to keep playing it.
