Obtaining Darkrai and Shaymin legitimately in game

[Marx Chaotix]

Anybody who is serious about this please and I cannot stress enough READ ALL of the article first before following through with this. I know many pokefans out there who dont' want to have to fork out money just to obtain these two & who don't want to go down as a "cheater" for using Action Replays or GameShark and want to obtain these pokemon and don't want to risk trading pokemon for a possibly fake legendary online. However, there is still hope. You have to perform a glitch on Pokemon Daimond version (not sure if this works for pearl as well) but if you scroll around the bottom it'll hand you specific step-by-step toturials on how to perform this process. BE WARNED it can and probably will mess up your game if not done exactly as instructed.

...or you could just use the GTS exploit and send them to yourself.

yeppedy deppedy, haven't tried it yet, but I know some people who have, and they say it works well :D

...if it's via a glitch, then it's not "legitimate" now is it.

[eatcomics]

its the best you're going to do, either GTC or the emulated server, which just think of the emulated server as an event, then its not

I have a Darkrai that I got at the special even thing. I believe there's a way that I can use my game to allow others to acquire it, but I'm not really sure how to do that.

Or you can use the exploit, and not risk losing your game... I tried it and its awesome, I have a level 100 arceus, and a shiny Deoxys in speed form

I find it funny he put doing it legit in the OP because the way he was talking about was via a glitch, that's hardly legit either... And its dangerous on top of that

You don't have to bash me over it. >_> excuse me for trying to help you guys.. >_<; And how do know if you're trading for a legit Darkrai or Shaymin through online trading?

[eatcomics]

Sorry didn't wanna bash, I just thought that everyone criticizing the GTS exploit for not being legit was uncalled for, seeing as how you posted an exploit yourself... And with the GTS exploit you send a pokemon from your computer... and it isn't dangerous vs. the thing you put, the worst I've had with the GTS thing is I had a rayquaza that froze the game if you looked at its summary, but I released it, made a new one, and it worked fine... So with the GTS you aren't getting a "legit" but its safer. none the less you should check it out, its kinda fun... link:

Edit: I should also add, you aren't trading with this, its more like an event pokemon, you go to the GTS, have an empty slot in your party, and you go to the terminal and the pokemon will be sent to you... then you get a "Blue Screen" but that's fine, you've still got the pokemon, and its not harmful... and i've gotten it from using the GTS legitly a few times...
