I can't, I don't have the art for it anymore (stuck on old crashed HDD.)

This is making me really want to draw some Denjuu I've never drawn before, but I don't know where to start... o_o;

Jackpot! XD

I find it a little funny that they silhouetted out only two of the secret Denjuu that we'd doubtlessly seen before and left all the other ones. o_0

Well, it took a week to scan all of these, but new scans are finally here! Yay!

Everything's in order of the date the issues came out. I managed to snag some early 2000 issues including the first issue that contained the Telefang manga and also the issues before October as well. There's also a couple of 2001 issues, one of them with the first part of the Bugsite manga too. There's also plenty of other stuff like Animastar and Bistro Recipe as well. I also scanned in the first few parts of the Mikazuchi manga (since I know you wanted to see that Kimbles ^^). Enjoy!

So much cool proto stuff in here! Fungus even had a totally different sprite, bipedal and looking more like his evos... ahhhhhhhhhhh, I had things to do today why do you bring such glorious distractions

Hehe, glad I could distract you ;)

It looks like Fungus may have been intended to be a wild denjuu from that particluar screenshot. I'm guessing his sprite was changed because it might have been confused with Fangblade, since the poses are pretty similar. The wild denjuu encounter script seems to be different as well, the encounter message says 'Fungus toujou!' (I think this means Fungus entered!), and it looks like each denjuu was intended to say something different when you met them, like a personalised vocal trait. Fungus says 'angaaaaasu!' in the screenshot with his sprite. I think he's saying the latter part of his name.

EDIT: I've just noticed that Tsunonasu seems to be called Gilgiearth in the screenshot next to Fungus. I wonder why that is? His voice script matches his name as well, as he says Kiruu Kiruu, which sounds like the Giru in Gilgiearth.

One of the first ads described Gymnos as a buffalo denjuu and there are quite a few differently coloured sprites. Gonum is bright pink and Kochia is light blue. Tsunonasu is purple and Oshe is green. Fungus is described as a 'enigma/mystery' denjuu (nazo no denjuu) on the same page as the sprites and is listed with the other wild denjuu. I wonder if he really was intended to be a wild denjuu at first?

The producer of Medarot (''God'' Iida) appears in some of the Telefang ads as well. I wonder if he worked on the Telefang games? Natsume, Imagineer and Smilesoft are all related, so maybe his association helped popularity for the game since he'd worked on Medarot?

Intresting... I can see that some screen shots have both your denjuu and the enemy denjuu's lifebars are on the bottom on the screen in boxes. I wonder why they didn't go with that. ^o)

I think that's actually the bar that shows how long it will take for a denjuu to reach you. The HP bars are still in the same place in all of the screenshots i've looked at.

Yeah, he's the guy who owned/owns Smilesoft and Rocket Company. XD It looks like they were really playing up the connection between the two series in these ads, probably since Medarot was a big deal in the magazine at the time. *nod*

Anyway, thank you so much for scanning the Medarot and Mikazuki stuff, that must have been a lot of work but I really appreciate it! :D
I'm just trying to download and organize the stuff you've posted so far... Can you tell me which issues the things in this post and this post were scanned from?

Also am I right that you're only missing issues 1, 2, and 6 from 2000, 6, 8, and 9 from 2001, and 1, 5, 8, and 10+ from 2002?
The Telefang pages in 2000/03 make it sound like there was more info in the previous issue, so that one might be worth checking out too. ^^
