Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Those would be good advantages to plan out ahead of time it just sucks that Platinum isn't out yet and it would be annoying to get rid of either of my files or anyones files who want more then 2/3. I do like the idea of getting the different options for each form, and the living pokedex is a neat idea, mind if I steal it?
YEAH someone from my city lol. I just had to throw that in.
Hm... I'd love to have a 3rd Deoxys, but I only have 2 games. Guess I'll have to get someone else to get a Deoxys, then clone it for me...
Also, is this all-day, or just certain hours during the day?
I don't see how we're making the leap from EB USA is hosting the event to EB Canada is hosting the event. Remember, we have Toys R Us too, but that doesn't mean we got Darkrai. I'd recommend someone actually call before going to check it out, as it seems improbable that it's actually occurring here.
i'm calling tomorrow after my exams to confirm with EB games if they are actually doing the event (near tonronto, ontario). i'll post back 2moro to let you guys know what they say
If someone's got the equipment, I've got the access.
Let me up front clarify that my post was in no way meant to suggest y'all should do it, more wondering if it was possible.
However, since I have started the topic up, may I suggest that no actual copies be made (or at least distributed, even to your closest friends) until at least two of these distribution cartridges have been backed up in some way that would allow the two to be compared together. What I'm mostly trying to consider is what Nintendo would try to do in order to stop this cartridge from existing in the wild. The #1 we all know is that, should any official cartridge go missing, Nintendo would probably track it down. However, what would they try and do about copies? Various thoughts come to mind.
For starters, all cartridges could be watermarked so that, should Nintendo find a copy in distribution, they can figure out which Gamestop leaked. That's not good. In addition, this one would seem to be the most feasible to implement (since they could just hide a few unused bytes in the code at a minimum... a serial number, if you will.) As a defensive measure, we should be able to detect this if two different saved cartridges were compared side by side.
Another worry is that Nintendo could have physically modified the cartridge so that if it's copied it would break in some way indicating a copy was made. (If they know the cartridge came from your Gamestop, they could trace it back.) Not sure on the possibility of this one since I'm not familiar with the card readers, I'm afraid (although I consider this to be a pretty remote possibility ; if the DS can read the cartridge without setting something like this off then we know that it can be done.)
The main reason I mention this is because I wouldn't want you to get in big trouble over this, RiptideFugitive. :(
I can't imagine that the code for this broadcast would be very large. I think dumping it would take under 10 minutes. Also, I highly doubt that Nintendo watermarked each copy. Once the code was out there, it would be easily editable to remove anything that might identify the code anyways.
Just to be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone gets themselves in trouble by going against company orders or stealing any content. If the code is available and a manager doesn't mind, then I think this would be a cool thing for the community to have access to.

I'm not sure there is a point. Anyone with a flashcart can already give a copy of the wondercard to anyone with an AR who didn't manage to get it, without risking getting in any sort of trouble.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but on Pokemon.com it says "..in U.S. stores" meaning Canada does not get the event. Sorry.
Never having been to one of these events (i didnt know about Darkrai, car broke the day before Manaphy..)
In order to be able to SR, all I need to do is:
go to Gamestop
get the Mystery Gift??
Talk to dude in Poke Center??
Go to somewhere to battle Deoxys??
the things with question marks is what im unsure about...

You don't fight Deoxys, it's given to you. Otherwise, correct.
Yes, you can still get him without the national dex. It just won't be "recorded" into your dex until you get the national dex.
No, Darkrai should not be overwritten.
Unless you have another Wondercard on your cart (TRU Manaphy or a PBR Pokemon), it shouldn't be a problem since a cart can store up to 2 Wondercards (Darkrai + Deoxys in this case).
My question is, which would be given out by the Pokemart guy first (aka which would you have to SR for first)? Darkrai or Deoxys?
Okay thanks.
you would have to Sr for Darkrai first.
also i think it lets you have up to three wondercards.
I know I can't be the only one thinking about this but what level are we going to him him at? I keep thinking lv.40 or higher but I really don't know...
Lv.50, it's on serebii iirc.
