* ArtificialStupidity: The opponent uses moves seemingly at random, and depending on the matchup, will repeatedly use elemental moves against your Invizimal even if it's immune to them. The AI also has trouble timing the defend action.
* AugmentedReality: The game mainly operates by using PSP's camera extension, using a designated card (can be printed) to lock in and making the player pivot around it, and also utilized a microphone in certain capturing minigames.



* BigBad: [[spoiler:Campbell]] hired Kaminsky to steal the [[{{Phlebotinum}} technology to capture Invizimals]].
