Trading pokemon at the Global Trade Center

Hey yall,

I have been tryin to build up a team by trading for the pokemon I don't have.

Problem is I am unable to trade/search for any pokemon that are not in my pokedex.

How am I supposed to add the pokemon to my national pokedex if I have never seen them in game and can't get them via wifi trading?

Basically I want a Pineco but it's not in my pokedex so I can't get one via wifi. Also I don't want to buy firered just for this pokemon.

Any help would be appreciated.

why can't you get them via wifi trading, you don't specify

I mean that when I offer a pokemon for trade and it asks what pokemon I would like in return. Like search for it via what letter its name starts with. Problem is, when I search I don't see any names that arent already in my national pokedex.

So unless I have already encountered them in-game via battling trainers I can't ask for them via wifi.

Or am I missing something?

why not just set up a trade thread here asking for what you want, tell people you only want to trade for a dex entry/or for keeps, then you can search for them on the GTS

ok i'll type in capitals so you can see it with your glasses on XD

MAKE A THREAD HERE WITH WHAT YOU WANT.

EXAMPLE THREAD TITLE: I NEED A PINECO

SET UP A TRADE WITH SOMEONE

THEY TRADE YOU A PINECO OVER WIFI {THIS IS NOT THE GTS} ITS DIFFERENT BECASUE YOU USE A FRIEND CODE

YOU CAN RECEIVE NORMAL TRADES WITHOUT HAVING SEEN THE POKEMON FIRST

THEN AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE PINECO YOU CAN NOW SEARCH FOR IT ON THE GTS, REPEAT FOR ANY POKEMON YOU CAN'T SEARCH FOR

Ohhhh lol, sorry I have never traded via friendcode.

I didn't realize you had to do that first in order to use the GTS for pokemon not in Diamond.

I understand now though, thanks :)

You play WoW don't you.... ;)
