Well yeah, it kind of does (except they're mainly slaughtering domestic birds - wild birds are too hard to cull, though they're the ones spreading the virus across the continent).
I've played Diamond as well as getting this far in Platinum in the DS versions (in the previous, I have played Blue, Red, Yellow, Gold, Crystal, FireRed and Sapphire). I prefer http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net myself.
Currently have (playing Platinum):

Staraptor Lvl46
Kadabra Lvl46
Luxray Lvl47
Training each up to Lvl50 for Sunyshore gym.
Are you joking? All the bread they sell at Woolies and Coles is crap, crap, crap. And it's all made with soy flour. The sliced Italian ciabatta at Aldi is ace.
Aldi's amazing. Amongst other random items they have, we go there regularly to get olive oil, balsamic vinegar and bread (it's hard to find anywhere that sells decent bread without soy flour these days).
