That's right, an EV calculator. Spawned out of my desolate hatred for manually counting EVs, it may require you to know your IVs for a stat, but it just might work. Still in development (aka I just started) but I have one thing to say about it so far: thank GOD for the property of equality (I can just manipulate the formula I have for IVs to solve it for EVs).

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.

Here's a new concept: an EV CALCULATOR!

if you dont know your evs, you don't know your ivs..
so this isnt making sense

Careful! It's not as simple as it looks.
The breeding guide contains a section of how to find the IVs of a newly-hatched Pokemon by noting its stats at level 100 in a Wi-Fi battle. The formulae (there's more than one, depending on whether the stat is boosted, hindered, or unaffected by the nature of the Pokemon) aren't very simple.
If the IVs are known, the EVs can be found in a similar fashion.
Assuming the Pokemon is at Level 100, the EVs are found as follows:
1) If the stat is unaffected by the Pokemon's nature:
EV = 4 x (Stat - (2 x B + IV + Num))
where Num = 5 if stat is not HP, and 110 if stat is HP.
2) If the stat is boosted by the Pokemon's nature:
EV = 4 x (ceil(Stat x 10 / 11) - (2 x B + IV + 5))
3) If the stat is hindered by the Pokemon's nature:
EV = 4 x (ceil(Stat x 10 / 9) - (2 x B + IV + 5))

Lead with your trainee Pokemon. Switch to a high-level Pokemon that can OHKO desired wild Pokemon with ease. Keep track of EVs by noting the number of PPs used by aforementioned high-level Pokemon. Use different moves for different EV values if necessary (i.e. 1 Att EV vs 2 Att EVs) Rinse and repeat as needed.
Or you could use the counting app on the Poketch, and just tap it for however many EVs you should get, and then check against PP used, to ensure accuracy. Or you could even write it down. And if you mess up, use a few berries to fix it.
several people still go to schools here. The thing is, you don't need 510 battles to EV-train. The pokerus will double an EVs you receive, and the various power items give 4 EVs (which are doubled by pokerus) so for just one battle, you could get 10 speed Evs from a magikarp if you did all the criteria above.
that's only 50 battles, just about an hour of training or so :/
It just so happens you're here talking to a community of people who have been playing Pokemon since they were seven years old. You'd be surprised to find out that at least one of us has gotten Pokerus and is willing to trade you a pokemon with it.
EDIT: To be fair, RBY came out in 98/99 so I guess that puts us college kids as starting Pokemon around 12.

buddy, I can bet I'm actually younger then you are... just ask ANYONE of the wifi forum for a pokerus infecti and you'll get one. I'm guessing you really don't hjave that much of a firm grasp on competitive pokemon yet do you? (playing pokemon since you were little means nothing.) For you to have any idea of how to play this game as we play it here, you need to measure EVs
