Don't worry with IV's and EV's so much, that's the point when the games lose it's fun and become too much thinking.

With how easy/accessible they have made it to make perfect (5 IV) pokemon in Gen 6, there's really no reason to not invest in them.

I haven't played 6th gen so I can't say if it's easy or not, but in old gens was really annoying. I mean, in Emerald I just spent a lot of time trying to find a good Feebas (not a perfect) so that I just could have a strong Milotic that I always wanted, and I just got bored and stopped playing the game, so to me that was totally unfun and get me off the game for some time.
I really think people can have amazing teams without worry with IV's and EV's, as much as they really can boost a pokémon power up, they just demand (at last in old gens) too much effort and thinking that make the game looks like a job instead of a game, not fun at all. I preffer not worrying about then, but well, if it's easy now maybe it's worth a try.

In old gens only 3 IV's from either parent are passed down.  If holding Destiny Knot in Gen 6 that increases to 5 IV.

In old gens egg moves were only from the father. Now both mother and father can pass egg moves in Gen 6.

Before B2/W2, a parent with an everstone gave a 50% chance of offspring having the same nature.  B2/W2 and after is now 100%.

Before B2/W2, offspring's ability was as random as it was in the wild. B2/W2 and after made it 80% chance as the female parent.

In old gens catching a multiple perfect IV Legendary was nearly impossible.  In 6th Gen, Legendaries have a least 3 perfect IV's.

 

Gen 6 added a new attraction called the Friend Safari.  There the game generates a plot of grass with 3 different pokemon of a certain type based on friend code of your friends.  These pokemon will always have at least 2 perfect IV's.  And yes, ditto can be found there.  

 

In old gens all offspring are in pokeballs. In Gen 6 the offspring will be in the same ball as the mother (unless its a ditto).  

(This is comestic purely tho)

 

MUCH MUCH easier these days.
