Trivia

• Although the Darkrai WonderCard states that entering "Orasion" redeems a free gift, "orasion" will also work. However, only the first letter is not case-sensitive.
• The poster used at GameStop to promote Deoxys is a carbon copy of the Darkrai poster. In the place where the moves are listed, the Deoxys posters says Darkrai instead of Deoxys.
