is it true that u must see the pokemon b4 you trade ex:you need to see milotic b4 you can trade him to your game please cuase i read somewhere that you need to see the pokemon

You need to see them all, yes, not catch them--but they are all entered in your Pokedex at some point if you fight every trainer during the course of the game, and probably you need to catch the legendaries. Dialga/Palkia, you get shown a picture of them on some island or something in the version they're not in, which registers it as seen. Any other gaps can easily be filled with online trading. It won't be too hard XD Just adds a bit of replay value.

[syvarris]

Umm, no. When it comes to just seeing things, you only need to see the 150 sinnoh dex pokemon in order to get the national dex after you beat the e4(i believe that is correct). Just like in any other pokemon game, you can trade with your friends even if you havnt seen their pokemon before, as long as you have the proper dex(sinnoh or national)

I think thats pretty stupid, so you have too see Celebi in order too trade it into the game?

No, no, no. You dont have to see a pokemon before it can be traded to you. That wasnt how it was in past games, thats not how it is now.

Just on the GTS.

 

[Crescent]

I'm so glad to hear that we don't have to see it to trade and get it. Cuz it would suck!

 

[Tiamat_Zero]

The fact that you need to have seen something to search for it on GTS kinda bums me out though
