Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Your first question is missing either a subject or a verb, depending on "breeding" being a verb or noun, respectively. Presuming you were asking if breeding in Emerald is better than in D/P, each has its pros and cons.
Emerald once was the only way to get the Battle Frontier move tutors on certain Pokemon, and still is, as some of those tutors have not returned in Platinum. There is also a bit more control of the IVs, due to Emerald's wonky pseudo-RNG. Finally, as far as I know, Emerald's left-and-right biking is faster than either D/P's up-and-down biking proximal to Solaceon or its biking path.
D/P has access to an IV-check code, for those who use Action Replays for breeding, and instant Level 100 battles on Wi-Fi for those who don't. D/P has the characteristic feature under its summary, which can tell you if the bred Pokemon possibly has a 31 IV in one stat, which is good in the short run, but Emerald's "wonderfully outstanding" gentleman can tell you far more in the long run. Finally, D/P has some new Egg moves for Pokemon that wouldn't learn them in Emerald.
In conclusion, Emerald has more advantages than D/P; however, if there are specific Egg moves you are looking for that are unavailable in Emerald, or seek near-instant knowledge of a Pokemon's IVs, D/P is the better choice.
EDIT: If you have Wi-Fi, that is... >.>;
Help please?
@Tytus: Yes, breed Nidoran female with anything in its egg group. Nidoran eggs have a chance to hatch into either males or females.
So I'm editing this post with an opinionated question to ask all of you. I screwed myself over with the stupid three Wonder Card limit because I forgot to SR for Deoxys, Darkrai, and the PRB shit, but the game gave me the Deoxys first when I went to the Pokemon Center, so I was stuck with two random SRs on the day of the TRU Dragonite event.
Note that I don't have Wi-fi or anything, so please don't compare them to someone's random trade thread here. These are all local.
I want you guys to tell me how screwed I am, or if these are actually pretty ok xD:
Deoxys 1: Modest, 27/11/7/31/27/25, planning on EVing for Speed form
Deoxys 2: Naughty, 25/30/9/13/3/23, planning on EVing for Attack form

If you tell a person about smogon and convince them to join, at the end of their registration they have the option of naming the person who "referred" them to smogon.
I was so happy when I got my first one =).

If you have an AR, you can get as many of any wonder card pokemon as you want.
Depending on my team's weaknesses, which last move is better on SD Luke, Crunch, Stone Edge, Bullet Punch or Ice Punch?
BTW, my team is:
Azelf
Gengar
Vaporeon
Gliscor
Heracross
Didn't want to ask on the RMT boards because it seemed way too much for way too little.

Is there some kind of STAT up calculator or a forumla to tell what a pokemon's stats would be after using a certain stat booster, I remember net battle did it automatically, but I can't seem to find one.
EX: What is Slowking's Attack after a Belly Drum/Curse it got Aqua Tail so Physical is viable now.
@Magical
-Ice Punch, I don't see much hitting Dragons

whoa thanks, But I dont have wiFi at home...
Welcome. And... I see. If you have PBR, you can force Lv.50 upon the Pokemon in question, and usually narrow it to the range of 2 IVs for each stat.
I don't have AR, nor will I ever use it.
It's too late now, I just wanted opinions on how crappy/ok they are.
Actually, that's pretty helpful advice, I don't have Wi-fi either. Thanks.
Hey, I can somone gimme a link to the breeding guide? I need to know the 31 IV values for Dittos again. >.<
@ Spheal: You might want to post the set first so we can help you...
@ Kabuto Mushi: http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/breeding_guide_part1
It was in the articles section of the main website, like a lot of other helpful stuff.
@Phoenix: As far as I know, a special defensive uxie is perfectly viable too. I assume that the analysis focuses on physical defenses to save it from pursuit, but I'm not entirely sure, so you should probably get a second opinion. Looking at it's weaknesses (bug, dark and ghost), they seem to be physical on the whole...

Never battling on Shoddy before, can someone clarify this a little bit more? How will this affect (better yet how has this affected) your choice of Pokemon in battles on WIFI?
I have heard that there were teams on the ladder with all of the Rotom forms, skewing the usage data to some degree (but not that much, I would think). Looks like that should be settled now.
I use this:
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP/90 Atk/168 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Fang
- Roost
I gave it 168 speeds EVs to reach 278 speed, or 417 after one DD-enough to outurn anything From Electrode (who maxes at 416) and down, which is any non-Uber, non-boosted pokemon with the sole exception of Ninjask.
