How could I fill up the NAMES of the Pokemon in my Pokedex

Question

I tried battle subway and the battle institute, and none of the new encounters came to my Pokedex.

When I capture a Pokemon, the Pokemon goes to my Pokedex with a small Pokeball on his left side. When I fight some Pokemon, he goes to my Pokedex WITHOUT the small Pokeball.

Like when I fought Shauntal from Elite Four and Froslass came to my Pokedex. but in Gen V Froslass is ONLY available by trade.

In the Global trade you can only search for Pokemon that you saw at least once. I want get more Pokemons in my Pokedex, so I will be able to trade more (eg.: Tornadus is a Pokemon BLACK ONLY, I never saw him, and I can't look for him in Global trade)

Answer

The Battle Subway/Battle Institute act like the Battle Tower from Diamond/Pearl:

Additionally, Pokémon not registered in the Pokédex will not be registered upon being seen in a Battle Tower.

Since you can see rare/legendary Pokemon very easily in the Battle Tower, pokemon you see here are NOT added to your pokedex in any way. This means you'll never be able to trade for these pokemon in Global trades, you'll have to see them yourself or see them in a local battle with a friend, which will add them to your pokedex.
