The '''Player Search System''' (Japanese: '''プレイヤーサーチシステム'''), or '''PSS''' for short, is a feature that appears in [[Generation VI]] and is the [[Pokémon X and Y]] version of the [[C-Gear]]. It has many different functions, including the [[Global Terminal|GTS]], Wonder Trade, O-Powers, and more.

The main window of the PSS divides other players in three categories: Friends, Acquaintances, and Passersby. A Passerby will automatically become an Acquaintance if a Battle or Trade (including [[Wonder Trade]]s) is made with him/her: after trading or battling with a player already in the Acquaintances, a prompt to add them to the Friends group will appear.

Players in the Friends group are registered as friends in the 3DS's friend list, and vice versa. When a player is registered as a Friend, his/her Safari can be accessed (even if he/she doesn't have a copy of Pokémon X/Y).

==Global Trade System==
{{main|Global Terminal|Global Trade System}}
In Generation VI, the Global Trade Station can now be accessed in many more places than just [[Pokémon Center|Pokémon Centers]] in [[Generation V]] or the Global Terminal/GTS building in [[Generation IV]]. Unlike in previous generations, the player can now ask for Pokémon that have not yet been registered in the player's [[Pokédex]].

==Wonder Trade==
{{main|Wonder Trade}}
Wonder Trade allows players to [[trade]] Pokémon for another one without even knowing what he or she is going to get. This means that using Wonder Trade is both an advantage and a risk. The player can easily earn Poké Miles and more [[ID number]]s this way, giving them a better chance of winning prizes at the ID Lottery in [[Lumiose City]], as well as get a very rare Pokémon, but they can also get weak and/or common Pokémon in exchange for the stronger and/or rarer Pokémon they offered. {{pkmn|Egg}}s cannot be traded in Wonder Trade.

==O-Powers==
{{main|O-Power}}
O-Powers are temporary bonus effects that are used from the [[Player Search System]]. They are very similar to {{DL|Entralink|Pass Powers}}.

==Shout Outs==

Shout Outs are messages sent to everyone connected to the player's game, whether they are the player's friends or someone who happened to be connected to the internet at the same time as the player. These messages are displayed before a Wonder Trade as the players message.

==Battle Spot==
The Battle Spot is a feature that allows players to use the same functions that the [[Global Battle Union#Random Matchup|Global Battle Union's Random Matchup]] provides in the [[Generation V]] games. It allows players to compete in both Free Battles and in Rating Battles, the latter determining the player's ranking, just as the Global Battle Union does.

==Holo Caster==
{{main|Holo Caster}}
The Holo Caster is a Generation VI incarnation of the [[Xtransceiver]], which consists of a {{wp|holography|holographic}} projection instead of a physical screen display. [[NPC]]s will occasionally use this to contact the player during the course of the game.
Unlike its predecessor, the Holo Caster can also be used to broadcast special in-game and real world news announcements directly to the player. This includes updating the player on any recent StreetPass hits, upcoming events and competitions. It will periodically update automatically via StreetPass, or if the player chooses, may also be manually updated using an internet connection and SpotPass as well.

==Game Sync==
{{main|Game Sync}}
The player can synchronize the save file of the game card to the Pokémon Global Link site, provided the player has created an account. Doing so sends any items obtained from the [[PokéMileage Club]] to the game card and sends any photos, [[Poké Mile]]s, and Medals to the Global Link.
