So I really want a Darkrai. This Pokemon has been my favorite ever since I saw the movie. However, I never had internet when I was in high school, so I never learned of the event. I also don't have any way of cloning or getting hacked ones. Is there anyone who would clone one for me? I don't have much of anything to offer but I hope to work something out

I never really cared for the way the movie portrayed him. Darkrai is supposed to be a horrible pokemon, (he's the poster child for the Dark/EVIL type for crying out loud) and the movie makes him into this misunderstood hero with a heart of gold, and despite the fact that he literally drags people into an ethereal hell (and killed the girl who's ghost you see on the bridge in gen 5,) the movie caused the platinum description to claim that it means no harm and is only trying to defend itself. Also the legs did nothing for his design.

I love both portrayals. The vidya grimdark child murderer works well, but having him be a legendary Absol (seemingly evil, but ultimately trying to help) actually worked well, and is possibly the reason I think Rise of Darkrai was the strongest of the Sinnoh Trilogy.

Ehhh I see the cut of your jib but I still don't like it. I think that just because something works doesn't mean you should do it if it's not in the spirit of the thing. As far as I can tell the reason Darkrai was portrayed that way in the movie was because there would have been no other way to feature Darkrai in the anime, because how he is in the games wouldn't be seen as appropriate for the younger audience that watches the show.
I liked that Darkrai actually seemed to represent what the Dark/Evil type was all about and I felt like it was a shame that the movie's idea leaked over to Platinum's dex. Very few pokemon are that level of bad, and only two of them legendary. I liked that Darkrai shook things up a bit in such a predominantly innocent world.

I like darkrai a lot too, OP. Too bad next to nobody else I know fells the same. I don't know which portrayal I prefer over the other.

I doubt I'll be able to get one in XY though. I lost all three of my gen 4 carts in a move ;(

>Darkrai is not Dark/Ghost for some reason.

Because he's the Dark type representative mon. Adding Ghost would detract from that.
