Hey, Telefang newbie here!

Hi, a few weeks ago I decided to look into the old bootleg Jade and Diamond games, and my research led me to the translation patch and here. I've been playing Telefang 1 on my phone lately, and I'm loving the game. I was wondering what sort of stuff is out there to help a newbie like me get more into Telefang, like guides on what certain Denjuu do well(I've been looking at the wiki, but I'm still clueless as to what Denjuu fill what roles), or what evolutions are better than others. Also, other than the games, what Telefang stuff is out there that I should check out? I've heard/read about the manga briefly on the wiki, is there somewhere I can read a translated version of that?

Anyways, like I said, I'm loving these games and I hope I can become an active member of the Telefang community!

Hiyas! As far as team picking questions go, Telefang 1 doesn't have a huge amount of variety in play types between Denjuu, but there are some that fill roles like wall (eg Papaver) or recovery (eg Liriope's line) that can be good to keep in mind.

The way that team selection works also forces you to change up your party a lot, since besides your following partner, other options will switch around frequently and may not always be easily available due to distance etc. Make sure to pay attention to personalities too, the best ones you can get are :p09: Tense / :p10: Irritable and :p11: Faithful / :p12: Loyal since those guys won't ever be late or skip out on battles.
