Was Darkrai not being evil a retcon in Platinum for consistency

Evil in Mystery Dungeon
Neutral Chaos in the rest

What was its story in D/P then?

I don't remember it being malacious or anything, and the stuff added in Platinum fits with what happened in D/P.

>Darkrai in the anime
Chaotic Good (just wants to help)
>Darkrai in the main games
Chaotic Neutral (just wants you to fuck off)
>Darkrai in the side games
Chaotic Evil (just wants to fuck you over)

There are multiple Darkrai in the anime. The one in the movie is clearly good, while the Newmoon Darkrai, Tobias's Darkrai, the Darkrai from the Klefki short, and the Darkrai from the XYZ arc are all neutral entities.

So yeah, Darkrai is only evil in the side games. Most of the time it's just a neutral wild mon like most others.

itt: people forgetting the heavy implications that Darkrai murdered a little girl, her family, and her Abra in the Lunar Wing sidequest in B2W2.

Did you forget that he didn't made things in purpose. That's why he was sended to newmoon island so he wouldn't suffer triying to help.

Except that it's also implied that he came to the girl in her nightmare as her father, to tell her to let go, so that she'd die before Cresselia could get there to ward him off.

Seems like an AWFULLY specific defense mechanism.

And it's not necessarily the same Darkrai from Newmoon Island, either.
