Can I get both or do I have to choose?

If you are playing in Platinum, you can get both. If you're playing in Peal/Diamond, you can only get one.

Question
How can I catch Cresselia in Platinum?
Community Answer
Beat the elite four, go to Canalave and go into the house in the bottom left, next to the boat that took you to Iron Island. There should be a boy there who is trapped in a nightmare and, when you speak to him, Cressellia will be available. Go to the sailor on the jetty and he will tell you about getting a lunar wing, so go to Halfmoon Island. Once you get it, Cresselia should be wandering around.
