Not to mention the game never actually tells you IVs and EVs even exist, let alone how they work...

Actually, the official strategy guide for Platinum from Nintendo now explains about EV and how to use them and not to mention that EV training guides are widely available on the internet in a easy to do way with all the specific wild Pokemon and trainers to battle, so it's not something that is completely vague, but with EV training, you need to record how many Effort Value points you earn (like HP, Attack, Def, Sp. Atk, Sp.Def and speed). Sites like Smogon already gives you sample EV spreads and movesets to follow, so training one isn't that hard depending on if you want to or not.
Also, Pokerus and those braces also speeds up the process.
