How do you spend time with the sailors son on Pokemon platinum?
You need to get the National Pokedex first. You get that by seeing all of the Pokemon in Sinnoh ( by battling virtually every trainer), then go see Prof Rowan which will lead to talking to Prof Oak. Then you just need to go inside the sailors house in Canalave City and "talk to" the sailors son. After listening to his sleep talk, talk to the sailors wife. Then you go talk to the sailor and he will take you to New Moon Island. That is where you first see Cresselia and you get the (sorry) thing that will disband the Darkrai nightmare on the sailors son. Then check your marking map on the pokegear to pinpoint her location. Good Luck!
