In the [[Generation VI]] games, the GTS is accessible via the [[Player Search System]]. Unlike in previous generations, the player may now ask for or seek Pokémon not yet registered in their Pokédex by selecting "What Pokémon?" at the end of the alphabetical options and typing out a Pokémon's name, though the gender of the Pokémon cannot be selected in this kind of search. This manual entry is not case-sensitive, and entering "Flabebe" will return results for {{p|Flabébé}}, but otherwise, if the player has not correctly typed an actual Pokémon's name in the language they're playing in, their search or deposit will fail. (In the case of depositing a Pokémon, the Pokémon will appear to be deposited successfully, but the Pokémon will not appear on the GTS.) | In the [[Generation VI]] games, the GTS is accessible via the [[Player Search System]].

The player is not allowed to trade a Pokémon on the GTS if it is holding certain specific items (such as [[Mega Stone]]s). Unlike in the past, specific [[event Pokémon]] cannot be traded at all, regardless of whether it is holding an event ribbon (such as {{p|Darkrai}} caught in [[Newmoon Island]]); attempting to do so will yield the message "It's a special Pokémon. You can't trade it!". Attempting to trade a purified [[Shadow Pokémon]] with the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|National Ribbon}} will also yield this message. | The player is not allowed to trade a Pokémon on the GTS if it is holding certain specific items (such as [[Mega Stone]]s).
