Ok so...you have to see a pokemon to be able to trade for it on the GTS

But can you trade directly wiht a friend over wifi, and if so, do u still need to heave seen the pokmeon? or does it work like a link cable?
 
not 100% sure here

But

I think if you're "searching" for a pokemon, as in you put it up one of your pkm on the GTS, and "Request" another type, obviously, you'd need to have seen that other pkm to know what you want to request for

As for straight forward trading with someone whose friend code you have, then all is fair game, just as though it was a link cable

the whole point of trading is to get new types of pkm.
would be rather circular if you could only get pkms you already have :p
 
You're almost right there, but there's a little more.
1. You can choose the other Pokemon, if you've seen it.
2. The level (0-10, 10-20 ect)
3. The gender.

Quite handy details.
 
GTS is a searching system that requires you see certain Pokemon before you can obtain them. Like the trendy phrase in the Advance games, you cannot select a Pokemon's name unless you've seen it. GTS is mainly a global searching system for those who either don't have any friends registered, have no friends available at the time, or none of the friends have what one may be searching for.

With regular trading via Wi-Fi, there are no requirements except that you need the other party's friend code in order to trade with them, as well as they need yours.
 
THANK YOU!!!!

I was thinkgign, how am i gonna get a manaphy from my firend if i havent seen one.
 
I hate that too :( So I have to see a Zangoose before I GET ONE!!!
 
Uh, how is that not fair? The Pokemon you're talking about is a NATIONAL DEX Pokemon. You can't get one until you get the National Dex or have someone trade you one. GTS is basically like a bulletin board without the need to set up a trade. You can't search for something you haven't seen. That's like asking for something in real life that you've never seen or really heard of before.

Btw, Zangoose appears when you have Ruby inserted into the DS and have the National Dex on Route 208.

Manaphy is an event Pokemon. Do you really expect them to set it up right off the bat for you to be able to search for it? That'd make the game all too easy if you could search for any Pokemon.
