Why can't I find the Hoenn starters/Regis when trading in the GTS in Platinum?

Question

I cannot find the Hoenn region starters and the Regis in the GTS trade center list. Can't trade those pokemon?

Answer 1

Have you encountered these Pokemon in-game yet? If not,you won't be able to find them in the list.You need to have seen them and have them in your Pokedex first.

Comments

Is there a way to find them or add them to pokedex?

You would have to trade or migrate because you defiantly can't find the Regis anywhere in unova

Trading with friends ? And its platinum.

Oh In that case you need the regigigas event thingy I think then there are 3 caves scattered around sinnoh you can go in them but nothing's there apart from items without event regigigas
