    1. Probably. The have them in all different countries, so see your local gaming store, or the Nintendo/Pokemon/Gamefreak site.
    2. Changing Rotom's form doesn't require a Mystery Gift. And to catch Darkrai or Shaymin, you'll need to go to an event and/or trade it from another game (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum).

    Erm.... Wrong.

    Changing Rotom's form requires the Secret Key, which only comes through an event, therefore you do need Mystery Gift. Also, the items to catch Shaymin (Oak's Letter) and Darkrai (Member's Pass) were obtained via an event in Japan about a month after Platinum was released there, so it is not unreasonable to expect that there to be an event to obtain the items in the US, and even in Europe following Platinum's release. So yes.... you do need Mystery Gift to get both.


    EDIT: The Secret Key was obtained through an event in the period of a few months after the release of Platinum as well.

    Anyone of them. Just one honey will attract it. The reason why it's so hard to find it is because it only has a 1% encounter rate. Saving in front of a honey tree and turning the game off (or SRing) won't change what Pokemon is in the tree, so don't even try that.

    Welcome to PokeCom, and KOG is correct. In Platinum, you can only catch it once - in the Torn World.

    If you fire up DP again, though, you could go and find it from Wayward Cave and send the shiny over that way.

    No one can help you with your router. I'd suggest reading the manual that came with it, as well as the DS manual on wireless connection and settings.

    Have you tried the "Nintendo WFC Settings" button on the "continue" screen? Just looking to see if this can have a simple solution.

    I was sure I heard somewhere that if you kill Giratina in the Distortion World or run away, he'll appear later in Turnback Cave, but this was a while back when the Japanese version had only been out for a few weeks (might have been Serebii I heard it from)

    Dooney is right, it came from Serebii that if you kill Giratina the first time it will appear at Lv47 near Turnback Cave. This may only be for JAP, so I would just go with transferring one from D/P. Or you could try and try and try, since beating the game isn't much of a thrill.
