Players must simply talk to the receptionist at the righthand counter, who manages all of the GTS features. An option to upload photos taken from [[Pokémon Musical]]s has been added. | ||
The GTS acronym in this generation stands for Global Trade ''System'' instead of Global Trade ''Station''. This name is shown on the screen where one selects what to do on the GTS. | The GTS acronym in this generation stands for Global Trade ''System'' instead of Global Trade ''Station''.

In addition to the trading format introduced during Generation IV, GTS Negotiations allows two players show one another any Pokémon they have in their party or PC; up to three Pokémon can be shown at once.

The players can communicate with each other using a set of emoticons (Smile Mark, Saddened Mark, Heart Mark, Surprise Mark) until both players find Pokémon that they are willing to trade for. Each player may then select one of the other's offered Pokémon to be traded. This solves the restriction imposed by normal GTS trading (where the player can only search for a Pokémon they have already seen), as a player can offer any Pokémon in their possession, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. | ||
In addition to the actual Pokémon offered for trade, the player is also shown the greeting on the other person's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, their number of successful trades, and (during the actual negotiating process) an abstract glimpse of the other player's party and PC Boxes (with individual Pokémon represented by their [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]]). | In addition to the actual Pokémon offered for trade, the player is also shown the greeting on the other person's {{ga|Trainer Card}}, their number of successful trades, and (during the actual negotiating process) an abstract glimpse of the other player's party and PC Boxes (with individual Pokémon represented by their [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]]). | ||

Trainers must first select a battle mode, either Single Battle, Double Battle, Triple Battle, Rotation Battle, or Launcher Battle. The player will then be connected and asked to choose either free battle or rating battle, which records the data from the battle. The player will then be sent to a battle with a Trainer who chose the same option. The two Trainers will choose several of their Pokémon from their initial party of six and begin battle. | ||
Many stats for the Random Matchup can be accessed on the Pokémon Global Link, under the Global Battle Union. | Many stats for the Random Matchup can be accessed on the Pokémon Global Link, under the Global Battle Union. | ||
