Didn't word of the "hidden legendaries" leak shortly after the game was released? Anyway, thanks for the heads up.
On the day the game came out in Japan, Coronis posted a list of base stats and typing for all the new Pokémon (or rather, their numbers). The event legendaries proper were discovered a few days later.
In all fairness, in an anything-goes setting Darkrai probably IS unbeatable.
As a side note, I'm wondering how they'll sell Shaymin's AWESOME POWER next year...
It has a strong move with a high chance of lowering special defense! And... and... umm... we messed up that one, didn't we? Yep, looks like it. Use Celebi instead. What, you mean you never went to New York for one? Screw you then, you're stuck with the lame hedgehog.
Edit from January 28: Well, they removed the "find out soon" part, as well as everything that followed. There were lots of typos in the part they chopped off, if that means anything.
Oh Shi-. Sweet :D But, I'm just wondering, since I already hacked the Member's Pass and caught myself a semi-legit Darkrai. Will I be able to get this again? Or is this going to be like what they did for Manaphy? Where you just downloaded it into your game via Mystery Gift and when you talked to the guy at the mart he would just give you a Darkrai?
It's times like these that I'm glad I bought an AR. Nintendo's general stupidity about events coupled with the fact that they only ever seem to have them in America is just too annoying.
