* ConservationOfNinjutsu: An interesting game mechanic in ''Almia'': during scripted captures where you must capture multiple Pokémon, each Pokémon will only be able to use part of its moveset, and will gain more moves as more Pokémon are captured. Ironically, this may mean that you will have an ''easier'' time in those captures than if the Pokémon were able to use their entire movesets from the beginning.

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: The Dark type assist in the first game is generally regarded as a Joke ability; it takes half of your Styler's current energy in exchange for doubling the length of your capture line. Almost every other assist immobilizes the Pokémon for a time, which is generally regarded as a better perk.[[note]]The only exceptions are Fighting, which instead makes each loop count as two, and Electric, which recharges the Styler.[[/note]] The ''only'' time that the Dark assist is considered useful is against Steelix; Steelix is the only Pokéemon to deal contact damage, but otherwise can't attack the capture line. This makes "energy for length" a worthy trade-off, as a long enough capture line can avoid damage altogether.
