	''Joker'' does not have random battles. The only way to encounter enemies is to run into one on the overworld. The monsters can be seen, avoided, and attacked from their back to get a free attack round. Later on, the player gets the [[Whistle]] ability. This can be used at any time, other than in the city and where monsters don't appear, and in a way does count as a random battle as the enemies are randomly chosen.

	The game has a Nintendo Wi-Fi element. The player connects to the server, and their monster team is ranked. The DS then downloads a set of opponents to battle. The battles are against the monster teams of higher and higher ranked other players. For each battle you win, you get a reward, either an item or a monster. These rewards change daily and can range from unexciting items to rare monsters such as [[Liquid metal slime~~\|liquid metal slimes~~]]. This feature is designed to be used once per day. The player can only fight one set of opponents, and get a reward once each day.		The game has a Nintendo Wi-Fi element. The player connects to the server, and their monster team is ranked.

	There are three monsters, [[Trode]] (トロデ, Torode), [[Leopold]] (レオパルド, Reoparudo), and [[Empyrea]] (レティス, Retisu) that can not be scouted or bred in the normal game. The only way to get Empyrea is to collect all 210 monsters in the library. Players will receive a Leopold when they have collected all of the different possible skills in the library.
