How do I look for my friends over the PSS?

Question

Someone over the Internet and I are trading and I registered him as a friend in my 3DS. I loaded Alpha Sapphire and connected to the Internet. He asked if I saw him but all I saw were a bunch of passerby, none with his name. How do I look for him specifically?

You described the PSS, not the GTS, but tell me if I'm wrong.

Oh sorry. I'm not really familiar with this stuff

Try scrolling to the right more under the "Friends" section instead of looking under the "Passerby" section. If you don't see him, try deleting and registering his friend code again.

For him to appear in the friends section, I think he needs to be online playing the game at the same time as you. That might be it.

As GeoTruth said, he may need to be online at the same time as you for him the appear under the friend section.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! I'll add that

I'm assuming he was online playing the game because he does trades a lot and should know what to do. Also I only have one friend on the PSS (I know I'm lonely) so I can't scroll. But I'll try your suggestion about deleting and registering his friend code again and get back to you. Thanks!
