Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Speed Version

Keitai Denjū Telefang (Japanese: 携帯電獣テレファング, Hepburn: Keitai Denjū Terefangu, lit. "Mobile Phone Beast Telefang") is a series of role-playing video games (RPGs) developed by Natsume and published by Smilesoft.[3][4][1] In the games, the player contacts various creatures using a mobile phone-like device in order to get them to battle the foes he or she will encounter. Released exclusively in Japan on November 3, 2000,[2] the first game in the series was released for the Game Boy Color in two versions: Power Version (パワーバージョン, Pawā Bājon) and Speed Version (スピードバージョン, Supīdo Bājon). Each version features several exclusive creatures. The name of the series derives from keitai (携帯), the Japanese term for mobile phone, as making phone calls to the creatures is an integral part of the games, and fang, to symbolize the various beasts involved. Keitai Denjū Telefang and Keitai Denjū Telefang 2 revolve around collecting the phone numbers of various creatures, referred to as Denjū (電獣), on a device called D-Shot (Ｄショット, Dī Shotto), that the player, classified as a T-Fanger (Tファンガー, T fangā), encounters and must defeat. These are used to be able to request aid from them at a later time, should he or she require it. The games are played from a third-person, top-down perspective, with the player taking the role of the games' young protagonist and main T-Fanger: Shigeki in Keitai Denjū Telefang and Kyō in Keitai Denjū Telefang 2. One Denjū stays by the player's side at a time and follows him around but in battle he can call up to two other Denjū to help him. Denjū will sometimes give the player their phone numbers after he or she beats them in a random battle but take longer to arrive in battle if they're originally from a distant area, due to getting lost. Sometimes, they may not even show up at all if called, so care must be taken to make sure that the player is not calling a Denjū which is too far away.
