EV training isn't that bad. It's just only letting your pokemon get experience from certain battles in the beginning. I can give you some "shortcuts" to EV training if you want.
It's IVs that are the most time consuming when it comes to stats. You usually have to breed forever to get good ones (unless you're lucky). And that's just for one poke! It becomes a little easier in HGSS: a new mechanic was introduced using the Power items (I won't explain and confuse you if you don't care).
