Went along to the Chesterfield one today since I had a suprise day off at work. I must be mad, went all the way from Peterborough, £26 on the train. Met up with my mate in Sheffield and went along. Saw loads of kids (I say kids, I mean 16-20 ish) outside Sheffield station.

Walked round Chesterfield (nice place btw) looking for Woolworths, got my Darkrai, looked around, couldn't be arsed to talk to anyone else, or anything since I hadn't made a team yet. There was a strange mix of little kids with their parents, weirdos who you would cross the road to avoid, and older people who wanted to get Darkrai and get out as soon as possible. So went off to the pub with my mate to trade various Pokemon.

Weirdest thing happened when my mate went to get Darkrai, he spoke to the mystery gift guy, who gave him a Manphy egg. :\

So it's a wi fi mystry gift thing with no queues? I don't really wanna queue up for long like I did for the worthless mews… yea I got a few but I alreay had the US mew on my Diamond game. Although I do have a Japanese event Darkrai…
Also I think I'm one of those weirdos you'd want to avoid. xD
Guess it is one Darkrai per pak then.

Dunno what to say about the manaphy… maybe he didn't take the egg earlier and it stopped him getting the Darkrai event downloadd.

Yeah, no queues.

He got his Darkrai, just had to go back again after he'd collected the egg. very weird because he has no idea how the egg got there in the first place.

I went to the Bristol event. I got there at 8:15 I was wearing a beige jacket, green top and jeans. I had my camera out a lot XD At 9am the whole line was going to go into the store, but the people told us to go back because they wanted to give us the goodie bags through the Pokemon arch things. It was so funny everyone moving backwards, I almost fell over one of those posts XD There was WAY more people there than I had expected, there were about 35 people there by 9am. I stayed till about 11am.

Getting Darkrai was quick because it was through Mystery Gift, so we didn't have to wait one by one. The people at the start of a queue couldn't get s signal so they were waving their DSs around in the air which was really funny. It comes with:

Roar of Time
Spacial Rend
Nightmare
Hypnosis

Enigma Berry and a Classic Ribbon, I think

I wanted to get a pic of the weird person dressed as Ash but he said I had to be in it because of Nintendo or something...my sister wanted the pic so I had to be in the pic with the weird man XD Soo embarrassing. He didn't even have black hair, it was blond. My brother got his facepainted and my sister got a balloon Pikachu.

The goodie bags were WAY better than I had expected. I was expecting a few little action figures and some sweets, but inside (all PMD2 themed) were a timetable, ruler, pencil, postcard, bookmark, Pokemon cards, PMD2 DVD and you got one of those big Pokemon action figures, either a Kyogre, Groudon or Absol. I mean, that has to be about £20 worth of stuff, right? And the bag was very nice, too. I also bought a realy cute Pikachu post while I was there. But it was in the usual poster section, I thought they would have more Pokemon stuff on display like t-shirts or plushies or something.

I thought this event was WAY better than the 10th anniversary one.

I want to get a pic with a weirdo soon. xD
I think it may even be more than that… depending on how many cards… and now I kinda want to get the bag… though I don't know if I'll be one of the first 50. xD
Need a free action figure an I was actually thinking of getting cards while I was there… but I must get that bag xD Also I may get a plushie for someone too. xD

The Bexleyheath one was alright. I walked in and was like ''Oh ****', kid fest, with a side platter of emo!'', but I met some pretty cool people. I managed to get two Darkrais, (one with my litter sister's Diamond) and incase you're wondering it's one per cart. Beleive me - I treid - the DS gloats ''you have already received this mystery gift', so yeah.

We union-roomed, battled, the usual. I had a go on PBR too. Had a laugh with the battle the trainer guy dressed as Ash (his name was David I think), but I couldn't battle him as I only had a level 50 team on me at the time.

If anyone went, I was the kid with a red top, jeans, white trainers and a pouch over my shoulder. Overall, nice Birthday present, as my 15 birthday was yesterday. :D

I went to the Chesterfield event, to get my Darkrai.

The Dave guy was cool, I gave him some tips on how to make his team better so he could beat more people as the tour went on that seemed to make him happy!

Where do you find out where in AMerica there are going to be events? I've looked some places, but I couldn't find any dates.

There usually advertised on most popular Pokemon websites. The key is to just keep checking back. :D

Also I have had my one Darkrai for a week now as I got one from last weeks event in Glucester. I have just realized I have a Timid Darkrai. Never reset either. I checked Smogon and apparently a Timid is a good Darkrai. :D
