Since having lost my old cart, I'm planning to re-purchase a copy of Platinum to replay it again, but I have a few questions.

>Can you still trade pokémon, or are all the servers down? If so, what are the methods by which you can trade?

>Can you still get Darkrai or would I need to hack for that?

>Can you trade pokémon holding an item, like the Member Card?

One of my friends has a Member Card from way back when, and thus wanted to trade me a pokémon holding it, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

I know that I can emulate it/hack my 3DS but that isn't what this thread is about.

Thanks in advance.
