No, you can go there as long as you have the National Dex. You're thinking of just the specific building Ribbon Syndicate. The Magikarp are so easy to catch you can just chuck Poke Balls without doing anything. -_-

thanks and what about fly though? doesn't that mess up the rng? or is there a way to get there without fly?
Oh, I wasn't aware of the context your questions were in. I was just answering your question above. XD
no problem, i dont think it does and if it does, then it wont take much time anyways. Thanks for the answer though
for those not in platinum, instead of karps you can use spring path bibarels
When you use the PokeRadar, patches of grass shake and you walk into it and you can meet a wild Pokemon. If you catch it or defeat it (NOT RUN), more patches will shake after the battle and you have a chance of finding the same Pokemon. Once you go up to 40 times of the same Pokemon, the chances of finding shinies maximize. If you find a Pokemon in the patch other than your "chain," the "chain" is broken.
See here.
Not to ask a stupid question, but what is all this talk about Magikarp and Bibarel even for?
Its for the shiny egg trick, just look at my earlier posts for how led up to this. Not a big deal though
Oh, that makes sense. Thanks!
I have a question: why do people put baton pass on a jolteon when there's it doesnt carry a stat boosting move?

From the first set in the analysis:
.
There's also the SubPassing set:
Sorry, but 1 more question: what is the point of giveaways? are the people just generous or is there something more?
what's the differnce between that and just switching out the jolteon?
Can't it also be used in conjunction with the occasional Petaya Berry?
@mathsterchief: Baton Pass is a move, so you'll be able to see what your opponent does for the turn instead of just switching in, not knowing.
Could Roar be a decent defence against oddball pokes in Doubles like FEAR pokes and Dark Void pokes and maybe even Trick Room pokes?
For example, as long as the slower pokemon on your team has it, could Roar be a decent counter for Low level Pokemon with Endeavor and a Focus Sash (or whichever)?
I'm thinking, attack if with the faster poke and then Roar it with the slower. That way when it comes out again you CAN KO it.
This is assuming Roar isn't random in Doubles and that neither have speed priority.

I don't think it would work as well as you hope because roar has negative priority
Roar has negative priority, so you're better off using priority moves (or Sandstorm/ Hail) to KO the FEAR user anyway. LOL
Edit: A whole two minutes late. Woooooowwww.
