Owners of Pokemon Platinum for the DS will be able to do what Action Replay DS owners have all probably done by now, get the Member Card to trigger the Darkrai catching event! The Pokemon Platinum website has been update to reveal that through August 3, 2009 and September 13, 2009, owners of the game can connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection with the Mystery Gift option and download the Member Card key for the Canalave City inn.

The site has step by step instructions for unlocking the Mystery Gift menu option and getting the key, but we’ll go through it here really quick as well. The first think you need to do is make sure you’re near a Wi-Fi hotspot where you can connect to the internet. Head to Jubilife City, to the third floor of the Jubilife TV building. Tell the producer there that your opinion on TV is “Everyone Happy” and your feedback on TV is “Wi-Fi Connection”. Mystery Gift will then unlock as an option on the main menu…

Its been a long time coming, but finally Pokemon fans will be able to collect yet another exclusive pokemon. On February 3, 2008, Gamertell reported that a Darkrai event was scheduled for the United States. Thanks to a tip from reader Jess, it has come to light that dates have finally been set for Darkrai distribution.

A new page on the official Nintendo Pokemon website reveals that one of the rarest pokemon, Darkrai, will be getting a North American debut. As Pokemon Diamond and Pearl players know, Darkrai is only available at special, official Nintendo events. At these events, players can download a special item to their DS units. They then go to any pokecenter in the game to receive the Member’s Card item. This card allows players to enter the locked Canalave Inn and battle Darkrai.
