I can't see my friend in co-op?

[imakillaxx]

I port forwarded everything and it says he's joined, but i can't see/find him.
Help please?

Did you make sure you are both in the same vicinity when looking for each other? He could have connected from Goldenrod City, while you are in Violet City. If that's the case, then meet up at a city together and try to see each other.
