Most likely the latter, as the breeding process could take quite a long time. But keep in mind you don't want to get too involved (unless you don't plan on moving on to generation 5) as Black and White are well on their way

Do it all after you have beaten the league, and most of the quests afterwards. It is virtually impossible to EV train and IV breed before then, because you can't get power items and such, and you will also need the national Pokedex. Just catch things you like on the first runthrough.
/record [username] or find your name on the users list and right click it and look at it there
I believe you right-click (control-click on macs) on your name in the users column, then "View Record", or you can type /record [your username here]

Question: Is it alright to clone your pokemon? and Is the Cloned pokemon considered hacked pokemon?
THanks in advance.
I am new to competitive battling and just want to find out if cloning is legal so that i can just clone my good pokemon and trade them for another so that i have more godd pokemon.

Cloning is legal as long as your cloning legit pokemon.
The trouble with adamant is that you can be revenged easily by Infernape, as well pokemon like Starmie, Aerodactyl and others. I use this for problems like this:

It is possible to have an Adamant set, but you will need to be able to stop these threats and I'm not sure the power trade-off would be worth it. I'd stick to Jolly.
I have this Pokemon Tournament in School, and it's VGC style
Is there somewhere on Smogon where people can help me make a team? Or should i make one first and post it in the RMT section?

Yes
Thanks for earlier, guys. I know this will sound reeeeeeaaaaaally smart, but I forgot some other scenarios... Sorry about that...
1. Does the held item Lucky Egg have anything to do with Effort Values? What about traded Pokemon?
2. I'm honestly not all that interested in Competitive battling itself; I just use the prospect of it to help me in In-Game Situations, like the Battle Tower/Hall/etc. Are there any guides about how to succeed there? If not, any other advice?
3. Did anybody here get a Spiritomb the "legal" way? If yes, HOW BUSY DID YOUR GRAMPARENTS GET?!? Or, how do you talk to that many people? While I'm at it, how do you get the other "impossible" Pokemon, like Regigigas and Feebas?
Edit: Thanks as usual, guys.

1) No.
2) http://www.smogon.com/ingame/
3) Just get two DSs and two games. If it is like talking to fifty people to get the star on the trainer card, it does not have to be a different person each time. Although I must admit I have never caught one.

To get Regigigas, you need to A), migrate the Regis from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, put them in your party and go to Snowpoint Temple, B), hack it (which I wouldn't do) or C), get one from an event. Feebas isn't impossible to get, but it requires patience (which is why I get them off the GTS :B).
A) is right
Is the Everstone glitch in HG/SS? If so, the glitch only applies to parents from games of different languages, right?
I have a Pal Parked Adamant Ditto holding an Everstone breeding with a Croagunk hatched in SS. Out of the last 20-25 eggs, 2 have been Adamant. :(

I've tried this, and have had poor success with only about 12 eggs hatched, but someone else tried and said it worked the same. If it's the same as in D/P the parents need to be of the same country or the glitch will not work. You might have it mixed up.
I was just wondering the following, am I able to re-learn TM's at move relearners because I noticed in pokémon black they removed stealth rock as a TM and I want my Metagross to acces it when I want it to so I just wanted to know if it's possible to re-learn TM's on a pokémon or only the attacks that he learns during lvling. 
I haven't really done much 4th gen breeding at all (lol) so I'm now starting to wonder if my Emerald game isn't USA region. The only way to confirm/deny would be to trade a Pokemon from that game to somebody to check via Pokesav, right?
Why exactly IS Electrivire noobish?
I always thought it was because his physical options are all have a BP of 75, but I've been running mix-vire with Band Staraptor and Sub Gyarados on my latest team and have gotten an INCREDIBLY large number of sweeps (WELL over 75% of the time, he's the one sweeping instead of my actual sweepers :P) Drawing out electric attacks is horrifyingly easy with Gyara and Staraptor, and mix helps make up for the low power of the elemental punches. And it's not like his attacks have poor coverage....
The only thing that rally wall him are Rotom-A (usually around 5HKO...mix so burn isn't a problem) and Blissey (I run EQ because I REALLY don't get lucky with accuracy or critical hits)
And I don't want to hear "just because" or I'll just re-post the question.

Electivire is capable of sweeping through teams and is a legitimate threat (most good RMTs list him as a medium threat at least); the problem is that he can't do anything that other pokemon cannot (like Lucario), so choosing him is seen as a noobish decision since its not the most competitive choice.
Granted this is from an experienced players perspective, most members that post "omg Electivire is still OU" in every statistics thread are bandwagoners, they try and bash Electivire to appear elite. I still like to flaunt that he's faster and stronger than Lucario though.
