It's still like that in gen 6, but you've got to remember that PS! is meant to run a lot faster/more efficiently than battling in the actual game even with animations turned off so I don't think this is a bug or error but how it's supposed to run...
How do you get the code? Do you just have to show up at the Game Stop, or is there anything you have to do while there?
This can be important in deciding matches. If you read my post in the Bug Reports thread, then you would've noticed that it can be pretty important. I don't think that if this is implemented, it would make PS! run any slower, as there is already display functions even more complicated like Mental Herb. My suggestion would only be in the actual chat log, while Mental Herb is actually next to the pokemon model.
You just go and ask for one. There's no mention of having to do anything more than that.
I can ask about game mechanics here right? If so, what happens if a Pokemon is burnt then turns into a Fire type (i.e. through Reflect Type and Conversion)?
It retains the Burn.
Thanks for the help earlier with EV training! I've got my team ready and I'll figure out strengths/weaknesses/etc. as I keep battling. I have a question that's been tugging at my mind for a while though. Every site I've seen uses Leaf Storm over Frenzy Plant, although Frenzy Plant is stronger. Which is the truly better move to pair with my Mega Sceptile?
Leaf Storm is better because, if you just used Leaf Storm, you can switch out, while you can't switch out right after using Frenzy Plant.
Oh wow, I had no idea that was the case. Definitely going with Leaf Storm now.
Is there a site that lists the stats for important trainer's Pokemon in-game?
For example, we know Ghetsis's Hydreigon's moves but no idea about it's IV and Nature (I assume all AI opponents to have 0 EV everywhere except the Battle Facilities).

No as far as I can tell. The only thing we have is ORAS IV data from an old Kaphotics pastebin.
Though there is a general theme in which Gym Leaders have 20 IV's across the board, Elite Four members have 25 IV's across the board, and the Champion has 30 IV's across the board (No EV's applied).
Mostly your opponents, including any boosts they have. However, if they are burned the damage won't be cut, but if you are burned it will.
Hmm, so it does have something to do with my own attack stat..
So let's say I'm fighting a Tauros, assuming I'm using Foul Play. Will my Umbreon with 63 attack deal the same damage to it as my Bisharp with 194 attack?
Yes. The only thing matters on the user's end is if they get STAB on Dark attacks or are burnt. If a Dark-type uses Foul Play, they get STAB on it regardless of the target's type. If the user is burned, the damage will get decreased. If the target is burned, the damage dealt is unaffected, and is the same as if they weren't burned.

a) They have any threads for general questions (most forums do)
b) There are any other threads dedicated for simple questions out there. If there isn't, there's a good chance there is a general questions thread you've missed somewhere.

Destiny Knot doesn't care which parent is holding it, it will pass down 5 different IVs picked randomly between both parents to the offspring. Also, Everstone passes the nature down, not ability. It's a 60% chance for the hidden ability (Telepathy in Ralts' case) to be passed if the mother/non-Ditto parent has it, with 20% for each of its normal abilities; (a total of 40%) and 80% chance of the current normal ability being passed. (Synchronize/Trace for Ralts)
If you want a flawless Ralts, you take a female Ralts that you've bred that has one more perfect stat in the areas you're looking for than what's in the day-care, repeating the process until you eventually get a 5-6IV Ralts. (granted, Gardevoir doesn't need perfect Attack and Gallade doesn't need perfect Special Attack. They usually run different natures from each other to not hamper their better attacking stat)
Thanks for the answer, eventually after breeding a ton of ralts I managed to breed 2 flawless mons.
If I buy a copy of Pokemon Ranger for the DS (2006), I can still get the Manaphy egg and RNG it correct? I know you can get manaphy from the sequels, but those eggs were only given out via wifi for events?
Correct, Pokemon Ranger 2 + 3 gave out the egg missions via wi-fi events (as well as Darkrai and Aura Sphere Riolu for 2 and Shaymin, Deoxys, and Eruptran for 3), but the first game unlocks it via an in-game code. However, each copy can send out only one egg (the Ranger Net, which holds the egg mission and other bonus missions, isn't reset upon restarting the game, so no bypassing the system here), so it's probably gonna be kinda hard to find a copy on which you can still redeem it... If my experience is anything to go with though, I bought used copies of the entire series last year or two years ago, and 1 hadn't unlocked the mission while 2 and 3 had downloaded the missions but not redeemed a single Pokemon, and used copies aren't too hard to come by where I live at least, so a bit of optimism might not be entirely inappropriate.
The obvious alternative is finding a rom and playing it on a flash cart, but idt we're really supposed to talk about that here. In any case, the games are excellent, so there's always that :3

Generally speaking, no. Pokerus can be spread very easily once you get one Pokemon to contract it in the first place, whereas mythical Pokemon are often very limited events. (not to mention people here on Smogon tend to want to spend days if not longer soft resetting for a perfect one if possible) Some people may even feel it ruins the trade value. Do note that the GTS is a very poor guide for what something is worth, and many of these events can't be traded over GTS or Wonder Trade.
