I'm kind of having fun just looking up whether/how you'd go about getting some pokemon...
For Jirachi -
Need a copy of Ruby/Sapphire, a Game Boy Advance (because it needs to work with the GBA link cable, which I don't think DSes do), Link Cable, and a Wii or Gamecube
Now! Get a Pokemon Colosseum bonus disc (available off amazon for ~13 bucks + shipping) and put Jirachi on your shit!
Don't forget to get yer Substitute TM, people! It's in Twist Mountain all the way at the bottom, in the cave hugging the wall north. You can't access it from Icirrus City though so stock some repels. edit: Wait, you can. You just have to go through the northern exit in the room with the traffic cone.

Man, the one time in several months I decide to use my Pokewalker again (in the hope of getting some Munchlaxes and Spiritombs) and I leave it in the wash
Being made of Nintendium it still works, but parts of the images are messed up, mainly the step counter and the menu.

Nope, it wouldn't return the random Exeeggcute I'd taken with me and when I forced it back the spite was mesed up and appears to have not been returned.
The rest of the game seems fine, but it's still a little sad.
Lucario is very versatile. You could focus on attack, special attack, or both. As far as egg moves though, you may want to breed for Hi Jump Kick, Vacuum Wave, Blaze Kick or Cross Chop.
A straight up attack/special attacker is the simplest way to create a powerful Lucario, without worrying about any egg moves I'd suggest:
Adamant Nature
Close Combat
ExtremeSpeed
Earthquake
Stone Edge
All level up moves or TMs.
For a Special Attacker you could try:
Timid
Dark Pulse
Aura Sphere
Dragon Pulse
Nasty Plot
All level up moves, for Nasty Plot you need to keep him as a Riolu until he learns it, then let him evolve.
For EVs, read the section on EVs in the first post of this topic. Then train him for 252 EVs in Speed, and 252 EVs in Attack or Special Attacker, depending which you went with.
This is pretty much the most powerful you can expect to get for little effort. The main thing is finding a Lucario or Ditto with the right nature and using an everstone to pass it onto the baby Riolu.

I'm not all that interested. 3v3 seems more about luck in type matchups than anything else. You couldn't possibly cover half your bases with only 3 guys, if they happen to have the general type advantage you're probably boned.

I'm training for doubles from now on, which I guess is mostly triple compatible. I think triples are just kind of silly though. I watched a few battle videos and it just looks like a mess.

Finally saw (and caught) a drillbur. Was running around the first cave where you can first get him for like 10 minutes trying to get some dust but nothing. Maybe I should go back and take my chances trying to get Sawk and the 2 elemental monkeys I still need to pick up.
I've never played or really looked at Pokemon before. For some reason Black / White looks oddly interesting. I have no interest in the cartoon or even really in the graphics of the game, but it looks like there might be an interesting game powering it all.
Speak to me of your pokemans, fine people. Sell me on this.

Do you like deep RPGs with lots of variety in party members?

Do you like deep RPGs where you can have electric zebras, polar bears with ice beards, killer metal plated ants, dragons with axes for tusks, bulls with afros...

My, my.. I think I might! A hint of a plan is forming - I purchase both Black and White edition and give one to the missus. I think she might be into killer metal plated ice-bearded axes. Thoughts?
If you know she would like it then I don't see why not. Having someone to play/trade with is what the game is all about.
I'm lucky enough to have married a fellow gamer.
So what are the multiplayer things in this? Over a local connection, do you just trade? Or battle eachother? Or battle together against something else?

You can battle each other, you can battle cooperatively against the computer (2v2), and you can trade betwixt each other to your heart's content. You can also do Feeling Checks, for what it's worth. Also, you will eventually be able to go online and battle, but I don't know if the co-op 2v2 option is available there.
There's a wealth of other stuff thrown in there too, like Pokemon Musicals which I think is the new Contests (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It's a non-competitive way to play around with your 'mans.
EDIT: Also worth noting is the fact that this game is like an in-ground swimming pool. There's the shallow end that many people enjoy, but if you're willing to put the time into it the intricacies and depth of the battle system will reward you for doing so.

You can trade and battle with each other. You can also do something called Entralink, which I honestly have no idea how it works.

Entralink lets you actually run around in the other person's game world to a limited extent. It'll give you some little challenge like "find the player and give them something" or some such thing. I haven't tried it w/ my roomie but it seems like it'd be more of a fun little distraction than a main multiplayer mode.

you also need a copy of any 4th gen game and two ds's.
I draw my limit at two games and two DSs. And I think thats a pretty loose limit.
Xbox Live / Steam
It would come up over 40 bucks for all the shit I don't have in that list. Overkill.
Except the bonus disk, which I can borrow from a friend.
I also have like ten event jirachi's.
Been going through Unova again, I love that in Iccirus City:
Being made of Nintendium it still works, but parts of the images are messed up, mainly the step counter and the menu.
The rest of the game seems fine, but it's still a little sad.
I know next to nothing about EV's and all that, but I want a super powerul Luario for battling.
Every poke I bring to the ev checker, is told that it needs to work a little harder, I don't know what any of that means.. I suck at pokemon.
Also, 70+ hours in, no shinies
Godspeed, Ironsides.

So much shit to keep track off, especially if I want to do random wifi matches.

If it's still a Herdier, then it's probably fine. Just teach it Retaliate and use it to sweep enemies that just took out another member of your team.
The time will come when you need to get rid of Stoutland, and that will be tragic.
That's not accurate at all.
