Jerry:
You know IVs and EVs were here all from the start. It wasn't much considered until Pokemon became really competitive, that is in the Gen III and IV. (especially when WFC was implemented in the games)

As for breeding, two random IV stats from the male pokemon and two other random IV stats from the other female pokemon will pass on to the egg. The last 2 will be randomly chosen.

With Gen IV, new items were introduced; Power Anklet, Power Bracer, etc. These are commonly known to add 4 additional specific EVs to pokemon when they battle a pokemon. However, they also help you to determine what IV to pass on to an egg. If you give a Power Anklet for example to a pokemon being bred, the Speed IV will be passed on to the egg, while the second IV will be random. This eases the work of breeders, if you want to have good IV stats.

Example: You have a Zubat with an IV of 31! Unfortunately, the rest of the IVs are not that good, around 1~10. You breed the Zubat, with a Power Anklet, and with another pokemon, say Ditto with also a 31 IV attack stat. Giving the Ditto a Power Bracer will ensure that the egg will inherit the 31 IV attack stat.

So, the bred Zubat will have 31 IV in both attack and speed, already the pre-requisites for a physical sweeper! :)

Now, you only need to find good stats (other than attack and speed) for the zubat so that it can endure some attacks, here, you'll need HP, defence and special defence.
