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.
How can I beat Tower Tycoon Palmer if I need EVed pokemon to beat him, but I need the power items (which I can only get BP for without taking, like, a month unless I beat Palmer) to EV my pokemon?
You guys are smarter than me with this game, how did you guys start off EVing? I don't have...
What I meant was, do I need Platinum as opposed to my copy of Pearl that I already have? Will having pearl make it impossible to battle to my full potential, etc? I kind of want to get Plat. anyway, but I probably won't be able to for a long time.

Do I need Pokemon Platinum to start competitive battling now? I really hope not, shelling out 50 bucks after I just bought Rock Band 2 last month = D:
Let's see, I ripped the label off of PMD1 - Blue (I have no idea when I did that, but it had that white label backing ripped instead of the label when I found it...), my first DS's top and bottom screens became detached...I'm a spaz, lol.
Does the Pokerus double-ev thing double the bonus from the power items (so if I got 2 evs from a pokemon normally, I'd get an extra four -> I'd get 6, then pokerus would double that for a total of 12, or would I get the 2, which would double to 4, then add on 4 for a total of 8?)
Hey, I need some tips on how to start competitive battling. I was reading a lot about it a few months ago, but I got discouraged due to the difficulty in making my first team - mainly IVs and choosing my pokemon for it.
So I want to know - how high should the IV's for a pokemon's stats that it...
