I have a question about the PC storage for pokemon. As of now I only have 6/8 badges and my brother has beaten the game and the Box count still remains 8 (30 pokemon to each box).  Does this storage size increase anytime through out the game?

beat the pokemon league with the Alder as champion, now that I beat him,(and cythnthia) caught all three legendary deers,thundarus, and Kyurem along with exploring the east side of unova, now I think it time to take a break from white and move onto black

When you fill all the boxes, you get 8 more. I've got 16 boxes now, and the total amount increases to 24 boxes.

Fast way to do this: just put one pokemon into each box, exit the PC, and then reenter it to find even more. Yep, it maxes out at 24, which is still pushing it seeing the amount of Pokemon there are.

I've transfered all of my Pokemon from Diamond and SoulSilver over, and I've named every box after a typing. My Bug box is already feeling the squeeze.

Also, I was completely wrong about Stat boosting medicines. They are very much viable for EV training. Each medicine will give you 10 EV Points into a specific stat, but you can only use 10 (so 100 EV points from medicines alone), after that you can still battle your way to 255 (or 252, since the extra three are useless anyways).

Also, feathers give you 1 EV point in a certain stat, and you can use as many as you'd like. So if you did happen to collect 252 of a certain feather, you could use it to fully EV train one stat of a Pokemon.

This is all according to Serebii by the way.

That's nice! That will be helpful when i'm EV training the rest of my Battle Station team

I usually don't name boxes, except for Legendary and Shiny boxes. The rest of them, I organize pokemon in National Pokedex numeration order.

Speaking of shinies, have you found any in the new games?

Not a single one! Kinda bummed, but then again, the only shiny Pokemon I found in SoulSilver (besides Red Gyarados of course) was a Shiny Geodude. I raised it and named him Goldlem ('cause he's gold )

Thanks alot for clearing this up for me, I started worrying whether I'd have the space for transfering my pokemon from SS to White. I appreciate the help guys.

This is what would probably happen if that mythical triple battle ever happened

Have you guys read the (Black) Pokedex entry for Magikarp? Hilarious!

"A Magikarp living for many years can leap a mountin using Splash. The move remains useless, though."

I've only found a Shiny Patrat, which has blue eyes  

On SS I found a couple of them, but I've haven't had similar luck on Black/White.

Ahhahha, didn't read that one XD. It's kinda funny that Black/White does the same thing with Magikarps as the first gen games, where you could be scammed for one if you paid 500
