Trivia

 * During the localization, six challenges were cut from the English version of the game, as said challenges had to deal with the Japanese writing system.
 * It is possible to exploit the reward system of the Yo-kai Cam's challenges by changing the Time/Date settings of the Nintendo 3DS and bounce around two dates within the 64-day schedule of the Yo-kai Cam challenges. Doing this exploit is thusly inadvisable to players who frequently play games that heavily revolve around the 3DS' Date/Time setting, such as Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
 * Doing so will earn you the ire of Gargaros, who does not like tricksters. Doing this will make Terror Time happen fractionally more likely.
 * It is possible to lose your ability to claim a prize. All one has to do is close the suspended Yo-kai Watch software on the Nintendo 3DS without exiting out of the Yo-kai Cam.
 * Alternatively, you can lose the prize by not picking it up prior to midnight.
 * While the Jewel-nyans are capable of being found in Yo-kai Cam, it is not until the player has befriended one in their currently-used Journal.
