Tell Me Your Delicious Nightmares Win a Darkrai
Sunday, June 8th, 2008 at 2:07pm by Will
So I know we have some Pokémon fans here at Infendo, and some of you guys probably missed out on the Darkrai event that was being held at Toys R Us last weekend. Anyway, for you guys that happened to miss out on acquiring this legendary Pokémon, and have no way of getting to Nintendo World in New York City. I have been planning to run a little contest of sorts, to enter all you have to do is write up the following… Click the jump to find out exactly what it is.
What was the worst Nightmare you ever had and why was it a Nightmare to you?
To enter simply write up your “nightmare” and post it in the comments section. Keep it clean, scary and concise. Judging will be based on why it was so scary to you, and judged by a secret panel of judges. So entries should be kept short and easy to read, as well as slightly entertaining.
The winner will receive of course the legendary Nightmare Pokémon Darkrai, and I will personally trade you the Pokémon from my copy of Pokémon Diamond. So after I announce the winner of this contest, I will contact you personally. So keep in mind that you must have Pokemon Diamond or Pearl for the Nintendo DS, as well as be able to trade and exchange friend codes.
The contest will end by the end of the week (Saturday June 14th, at 11:59:59 PM) so be sure to post them in the comments section before the deadline.

I know that in Pokemon D/P in the online trade center you have to have seen a pokemon in order to trade for it in the “random person area”. But if you’re trading with a friend, you can get stuff you haven’t seen yet? Because if that’s true, distributing Darkrai’s would be a cinch. Just copy the Darkrai using the poke-duplification trick and friend code somebody. And don’t give me crap about cheating. Every trade offer available in that game is utterly ridiculous. “You want my Dialga for your Glameow? Uh-huh. Well okay. But only because I don’t feel like checking back every hour for the next week for a reasonable offer before finally giving up. Lemme just duplicate the thing first.” Now, hopefully, there is a bevy of Dialgas named Dialysis floating around the Nintendo Wifi Network.

@ Drahken
I don’t really understand why and or what you’re ranting about. Especially if it is about some type of duplication trick, I actually went to Nintendo World with two copies of Pokémon for the Nintendo DS and got myself one, and got another one to give away. I don’t know if you are implying that I am doing a copy trick or not.
However, as for trading, you can trade any Pokemon if you do a straight up friend code swap, and it doesn’t matter if your Pokédex supports that Pokémon’s number at the time. So I figured I’d try to give out something nice for a change. A legit Darkrai for like a Starly or something.

Yeah, i missed out on the event, so heck, i’ll post my nightmare. I was getting a ride home from a hockey game late on a friday night, and on the way i see a blue lanter in the middle of the dark woods. i tell my dad to pull over to see if its a person whbo needs a ride. I ask the person if he needs a ride and i shine the flashlight at him. But when i shine the light on in, i could only see the blue glowing lantern…..floating! The lantern floated up and the blule light showed sonmething. Only the blue light from the lantern could show the person. the lantern floated, showed the persons blood stained body, pale skin, and the lantern moved up to show a head with one eye missing, blood seeping from his mouth and a gun shot in the middle of his for-head. i get back in the car, my dad floors it, but we saw the same blue lantern in the middle of the road blocking the car. The lantern showed the zombie with an axe. And the only thing i remember waking up from is the axe crashing through the window, aimed for my head.
Well thats it. Hope you like it!

I had a really creepy nightmare when I was about 6 that is actually the last nightmare I remember having. It doesn’t seem that scary to me know, but I was pretty freaked out by it at that age. I was lying in bed, when all of the sudden a red light on the from of the old CD player in my room turned on. It was silent for a while, and then all I hear (accompanied by loud, scary music) is: “I opened my eyes but I…was…DEAD!” All of the sudden all of the sudden my bed started to writhe under me and my sheets began to smother me until I woke up. It was ovioulsy scary enough to be imprinted on my mind until this very day!

I haven’t really had too many nightmares, but this one really scared me when I had it. You might not get why it scared me so much, because you don’t know the people in my dream. It takes place in my middle school (I had it 6th grade). One person was my assistant principal (with a huge bird-like nose) who enforces unfair rules, and the other was my 6th grade teacher (extremely old), which hates kids with a passion. My teacher would punish the whole class for no reason multiple times. The whole class hated her. Now to the nightmare… The class is doing math. She asks me to come up and work the problem on the board. I had it right, but she disagreed. I knew I was right too. We got in a huge arguement, and I obviously lost and was sent to the principle’s office. (Remember I’m one of those kids who have never been sent to the principal’s for negative reasons.) I was shaking as my teacher calmly, but with that evil grin, walked me to the office. I felt trapped, and I didn’t know what to do. I was panicing, and I couldn’t run away. I had lost the ability to control where I walked. I finally got to the assistant principal’s desk. (I don’t know why I was taken to her instead of the normal principal.) Both of them looked at me. My teacher told the assistant principal what had happened, except she was puting total lies with it. I tried to defend myself, but they ignored me. Finally my assistant principal got up with a menacing look. She started glaring at me as I started to cry. I was so scared and didn’t know what to do. Then I woke up scared. My heart was pounding, and I had to tell myself that it wasn’t real several times. I was very wary through the next day of school. I’m so glad I’m in high school now!

One I had when I was very young was my mother picking me up and sitting me down on the washing machine, then moments later walking away, turning the lights off, and going upstairs.
This was scairy because the washing machine is located in the basement and at the age I was, I was afraid of the basement and the dark and the height of the washing machine was way too high for me to jump off of.
P.S. are you sure that the darkrai is tradeable, I think the sign at TRU said it was not.

Oh I didn’t really mean to sound like I was ranting, especially against you. I was just complaining about the multitude of asshats who flood the GTS with ridiculously unbalanced trade offers. And then I also just said that if you can trade ANY pokemon unrestricted via friend code, then event pokemon should be fairly easy to find about if people duplicate them. I didn’t mean to accuse you of such practices. In fact, I said for people to not give me crap for doing it. Because I do. As it’s the only way to deal with the horribly unbalanced trades, which I believe I already mentioned. In fact, I may fire the game up later and fill in my pokedex some more by trading copies of my own Darkrai (I actually did hit up Toys R Us. Wouldn’t have known about it if not for Nintendo Power.) Anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding. It was not my intent to offend. Keep up the good work.

Yes, Darkrai is tradable. You only have to see it first if you want one off of GTS. Trading over Wi-Fi is like trading with a friend that is sitting right in front of you. I think you do have to have the National Dex to trade 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen Pokemon that aren’t part of the Sinnoh Dex already. I got Manaphy off of Pokemon Ranger towards the begining of the game, so you can get Darkrai anytime in the game.

No fair. I RARELY remember my dreams. And when I do, it is only vague images. I never remember any coherant sequence of events. My wife has total recall of her messed-up dreams. My subconscious blocks them for me. Must be a good reason…
One of the few I remember clearly happened 18 years ago. I was a freshman in college, and my extra-curricual activities might have had some impact on my ability to remember this dream so vividly…
My grandparents’ house, a white, split-level colonial, sat shining in a post-apocolyptic graveyard of twisted metal. The sky was a deep orange color, and the debris was shadowed in black; mostly warped steel girders and rollar-coaster track. Yet, my grandparents’ house gleemed virginal white amidst the gloom.
I was running through the debris field, climbing over mountains of heaped metal scraps like the fallen skyline of a city collapsed around my grandparents’ yard. And I was being chased by several shadowy doberman pinschers (typical junkyard dogs?) and a single hippopotomus. Yes, a hippopotomus!!!
That’s all I ever recalled upon waking. A few days later I got a call from home that my grandfather had died.

I had a dream onetime that i was locked in a house- and the walls of the main room consisted mostly of windows on 2 sides. I had an overwhelming feeling that there was going to be a terrible storm- though everything was very still. Outside the window, instead of grass, the ground was covered (like snow) with a thick layer of sunbleached, white bones- consisting only of snake spines, turtle shells and their respective sculls.
Looking out the window, I noticed that my neice (age 7) and nephew (age 4) were outside playing together- in the bones. I was worried that there was a storm coming, but i couldn’t get their attention, and i was locked in the house. No one else in the house seemed concerned, and after trying to get their attention for a while- they suddenly stopped playing- and looked up (as if addressing something just outside the window that i couldn’t see from inside the house). They then began walking in that direction and out of site. Then I woke up.
It really freaked me out.
