*** Metalseadramon's status as TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers, in the series, Metalseadramon is the only Dark Master whose attribute is NOT virus, here, Metalseadramon is the only Dark Master whose type is not in the side of Night Claw.

Not just information for DNA and Special Digivolving is absent, you can't even get most of the Digimon quests without having certain Digimon with certain personalities... Some of the [=NPCs=] on the other areas of the digital city mention some combinations for DNA digivolution and the correct Digimon+personality needed to unlock special missions. A large portion aren't mentioned.

Invoked in the Platinum Tamer Rank battle against [[spoiler:Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, who supported by Minomon and Kuramon, two Digimon of the lowest Digivolution level in the game. The support Digimon both have stats to rival many Mega Digimon and a variety of amazing techniques, ensuring that you'll lose quickly if you underestimate them]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: DNA Digivolution.

* BossInMookClothing: After you defeat the Gaia origin, and talk to the tamers in your organization, you will be able to unlock Darkdramon, Anubismon and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode in Dawn and [=SaberLeomon=], Argomon (Ultimate) and Armageddemon in Dusk. All of these unlocked Digimon are extremely powerful and will require very high stats to beat even the weakest.
** To make matters worse, the game can load more than one of them to fight you.
** Justified as you will need the experience they give if you ever plan on leveling past Lv. 70. At that point you'll be praying to meet those before every battle.

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Ophanimon in ''Dusk'' and [=ChaosGallantmon=] in ''Dawn'']] end up possessed by the [=ChronoCore=] and takes over Darkmoon CITY or Sunshine City respectively. Defeating [=OphanimonC=] or [=ChaosGallantmonC=] causes the [=ChronoCore=] to leave their bodies and flee to [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Chaos Brain]].]]
* DiscOneNuke: The passwords are this.
** Legendary equipments can be equipped by any digimon that exceeds level 10(your starting Coronamon and Lunamon is level 20), and is extremely powerful, in particular Legendary Sword increases attack by 66, twice as much as a level 30 All type equips.
** The Mega Dot digimon are limited by MP costs due to only having Mega Class techniques while having encyclopedia's base stats which are rather now, but they are still capable of wiping out earlier ecounters with their Omega Rainbow Force or their SignatureMove. While they fall off after your other digimon started evolving or degenerating, eventually they can degenerate into their Ultimate form and below, while retaining Omega Rainbow Force, giving them a strong advantage since they can degenerate into lower stages while retaining a Mega level technique.
* DistaffCounterpart: Occurs with the cast due to StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter casting depending on the version.

* GuideDangIt: Not just information for DNA and Special Digivolving is absent, you can't even get most of the Digimon quests without having certain Digimon with certain personalities... Some of the [=NPCs=] on the other areas of the digital city mention some combinations for DNA digivolution and the correct Digimon+personality needed to unlock special missions. A large portion aren't mentioned.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Used in the battle against [[spoiler:Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. The boss is supported by Minomon and Kuramon, two Digimon of the lowest Digivolution level in the game. They both have stats to rival many Mega Digimon and a variety of amazing techniques]].

* PermanentlyMissableContent: The Kowloon Blade... [[JokeWeapon not that it matters, due to its pitiful stats when you get it.]]

* PlotArmor: The main character is immune to the data-erasing waves used by the BigBad, meaning only he/she can stop him. The game's justification is that the attack requires a lot of power to use, and the player's character gets there after the first attack. Still doesn't explains the second and third waves, though.
** The justification for this attack's effectiveness before and during the final battle is supposed to be the PowerOfFriendship protecting the PC.
** It does works on later encounters (like in Access Glacier), is just that the player character breaks through it with [[{{Determinator}} willpower alone]] and in the final battle they get up because of everyone [[HeroicSecondWind cheering for them]] after being hit by it. Furthermore, Chief Julia/Glare actually withstands it (and their Digimon aren't degenerated) the first time which is the reason Grimmon used it a few more times in order to actually weaken the Chief. This is the reason the effect wasn't strong enough to work on the player. For the Chief to be affected they and their Digimon had to be slowly infected by a virus and they recovered faster than the other affected characters.

* PurelyAestheticGender: Might be why they let you rename your Digimon whenever it digivolves; seeing [[{{Gonk}} Vilemon]] become [=LadyDevimon=] is... interesting.

* BonusBoss: [[spoiler:Gaia Origin has you fight Duftmon + Sleipmon, Apocalymon, Susanoomon, [=ZeedMilleniumon=], Alphamon + Omegamon, Beelzemon: Blast mode and Gallantmon: Crimson Mode.]]
** The Platinum Tamer Test pits you up against [[spoiler:[[NotSoHarmless Minomon, Kuramon]] and Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode.]]
** [[spoiler:The Legendary Tamer Quest has you fight several tamers from the various Digimon series.]]

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: Ophanimon in ''Dusk'', [=ChaosGallantmon=] in ''Dawn'']].

** Some Digimon that were main partners in the anime series can reach their supermode from that series, even if said form is something really specific and unique to the series in which it apeared.

* ThreeAmigos: As NPC's and rivals, Koh and Sayo's closest two friends are Pulsa and Komachi for Koh and Newton and Dorothy for Sayo respectively. This also applies to the PlayerCharacter on both versions as well in a lesser degree.

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Johannes Brahms's Hungarian Dance No. 5 is used for some background music choices on the player character's islands.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It gets weird quickly at the beginning of the game when your PlayerCharacter is treated like a total newbie by pretty much everyone despite the fact that the player already has at least one Ultimate-level Digimon in their starting party (the player can even start with ''two'' ultimates depending on their choices), which means that they are likely at least a Mid-Level Tamer. Not helping things is the fact that the player [[ATasteOfPower utterly smashes everybody they come across without hardly taking a scratch throughout the entire prolouge]] -- even your rival, [[DistaffCounterpart who is actually the player avatar opposite to the one you picked]], whom various [=NPCs=] claims ''is your peer'' and a very talented member of the rivaling team, and if that wasn't enough, they even use a [[StaticRoleExchangeableCharacter starter team from the opposite version of the game you're playing]]. Almost the entire prologue section of the game is written as though [[ForcedTutorial you just got your first Digimon last week and that any of your opponents actually stood a chance against you.]]

** A post-game mission has you participate in an interdimensional tournament where you fight against the heroes of Manga/DigimonNext and the quartet of Anime/DigimonSavers as your opponents.
