Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). These games are knock-off versions of the Power and Speed Versions of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, respectively, which were only released in Japan for the [[Game Boy Color]] on November 2000, a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and a month prior to {{game|Crystal}}. | Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}).

These bootlegs had numerous bugs that the real games did not have, such as the inability to load a save file properly. The game also contains broken English, profanity, and swearing, which is absent from all official [[Pokémon games]] licensed by [[Nintendo]], with the British Gaming Blog describing the additions as "a healthy dose of Engrish and plenty of swear words."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080708225438/http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=580 British Gaming Blog » Bizarre Bootlegs - The Lighter Side of Piracy] (archived copy)</ref> | These bootlegs had numerous bugs that the real games did not have, such as the inability to load a save file properly.

The creatures depicted on the box and title screen don't appear in the game, and are not Pokémon in that matter. Diamond depicts a snake-like creature of unknown origin, while Jade depicts an edited version of the forest spirit from the movie ''Princess Mononoke''. | |||
The real Telefang games do share conceptual similarities with the real Pokémon games. Whereas in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, players take the role of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels through a specific [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]] to obtain or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Poké Ball]]s and send them out for {{pkmn|battle}}s, in the Telefang games, players take the role of a [http://wiki.telefang.net/T-Fanger T-Fanger] who travels through the Denjū World to befriend creatures called [http://wiki.telefang.net/Denjuu Denjū] and have them battle each other using a device called the [http://wiki.telefang.net/D-Shot D-Shot]. However, unlike Pokémon, Denjū themselves have a D-Shot and call each other to battle. Other similarities between the two game series can be seen in the mechanics of each: the creatures in both share common stats such as HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed; both series have moves or attacks in common, like どくばり ({{m|Poison Sting|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Poison_Sting_(move) Telefang]), とっしん ({{m|Take Down|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Rush_(move) Telefang]), かえんほうしゃ/カエンホウシャ ({{m|Flamethrower|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Flamethrower_(move) Telefang]), or じしん ({{m|Earthquake|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Earthquake_(move) Telefang]), and both series also have natures for their creatures ([[Nature|Pokémon]], [http://wiki.telefang.net/Personality Telefang]), though the effects of moves are not necessarily the same in every case, and natures work differently. | The real Telefang games do share conceptual similarities with the real Pokémon games.
