Just beat the E4 this morning, so I got around to adding everyone's friend codes for safari goodness! My code is 5129-1512-8980.

Victory Road was harder than the league itself... especially that last guy's Kadabra...

I have been trying to get some pokeradar chains going, and the rules seem to have changed quite a lot from B/W. The best I managed so far is around 30(damn you Bidoof!), seem like the distance is no longer very relevant, it's mostly the intensity of the grass shakes that tell which is the right spot.

You give Dark-type, I found Pawniard and Crawdaunt, not sure on third pokemon yet though.

How do you check IV of newly hatched Pokemon? Do you take it to high level battle, track its EV and let it level up alot before checking? If yes to what level?

[Culise]

Two ways:
1. Easy way.  In the Pokemon Center for Kiloude, there's an NPC on the left side who will review your IVs and give you an overall rating.  He'll also list off all IVs that are your best (if they're tied), and further clarify if they are at the maximum of 31, and also let you know any IVs that are extremely low (clarifying also if they're at the minimum of 0).
2. From what I hear, the Battle Institute in north Lumiose will level your Pokemon up to 50 if you submit them for the 5-battle gauntlet, as well as reducing any that are over.  You could bring babies in, check their stats, and run them through a calculator if these have been updated to Gen 6 (or if you know the base stats, you can try to solve manually). 
3. Level-grind. <_<

The first two are post-game, though, and I've honestly never tried the second one.  I don't even know if any calculators have been updated for Gen 6, yet, and several earlier Pokemon seem to have had their base stats tweaked as well.

You could also battle some random passerby for the same effect.

I'd really rathet not have another quad, besides some more relevant reasons its just harder to keep track of things between four games with very similar names compared to three with different ones.

So, um, *just plays for fun* what are IVs and EVs again?

Don't worry, I feel the same way.

IVs are a hidden thing. Some people spend a lot of time breeding them.
EVs are now less hidden due to super training (which also caused base stats to be confused due to terminology conflicts) and aren't intrinsic per egg.

IVs are now a lot easier to get decent for semi casual players given the friend safari gives each pokemon at least 2 max IVs.

I will confirm battle institute does indeed level your pokemon to 50, either up or down.
But yeah it's Post-E4.

I better finish the story then. 25 hours into the game and only Bug Badge!!!

TBH I got turned off by Pokemon games because of I found out about IVs because I'm perfectionist by nature but lack the freetime to get perfect IV Pokemons. But with Pokemon XY making it so much easier, it sparkled my interest again and here I am, 15 years later, after my first ever Pokemon game (Pokemon Blue in1998). 

So, how difficult it is to breed perfect IV Ditto?

[Urist Imiknorris]

It would take power items, a destiny knot, several generations, and a generous dash of luck.

5 perfect IVs is much more doable, as the sixth would have to come from the RNG.

[Aklyon]

Honestly, if you want perfect IV pokemon you could always poke in Showdown or something and save time, but you'd lose being able to trade them into other games later.
