* ALessonInDefeat: Dex begins the series believing that he's the best Net Battler due to his Navi, [=GutsMan=], focusing on pure brute strength at the expense of everything else. After multiple defeats, Dex gradually comes to acknowledge his fault and begins looking into ways to improve [=GutsMan=].
** In ''Battle Network 2'', Dex can be seen discussing strategy on the Battle BBS with Mr. Famous. To deal with [=GutsMan's=] area destruction blocking his shockwaves, Dex adds another long-ranged option with a RocketPunch and [=AreaGrab=] to [=GutsMan=] V2. For [=GutsMan=] V3, he adds a second [=AreaGrab=] and a Recover 200 at low health.

* ArtificialStupidity: [=ProtoMan=] in ''4'' is very, very dumb if you use Areagrab against him. His tournament fight's AI infamously breaks completely and isn't able to do anything but shuffle around, but his encounter AI is nearly just as bad and is only barely functional compared to other Navi fights.

** Panelgrab. In every game of the series, you start with Areagrab, a ''better'' version of the chip, and can very easily be obtained pretty early on in * code as well. Outside of very, very specific setups (Meteor Knuckle in 6 only hits enemy panels adjacent to the target(s), for instance, requiring only two chips to set up instead of three) that are more for style than practicality, you will never have a case where grabbing a single panel is better than a row.

** Attempting OneHundredPercentCompletion in the third game -- several unique Battle Chips cannot be acquired unless you're using the appropriate ''Style'', and considering that the player can only hold 1 Style at a time, it results in more grinding to be able to roll for the one they seek. This can be dodged by using the Bugfrag Trader and getting all other chips to abuse its 25% chance of giving a new chip, but this ends up just changing it from encounter grinding to bugfrag grinding.
