GP or generation points are acquired from breeding, you can do that at Shawmock town. GP are ranked from 0 to 5 and I believe they are worth it if you want to have strong pokemon and due to some of the pokemon fights, you will encounter in the future.
Right now my 0GP Haxrous have 478 atk (unchanged by nature but increased by IV) at lvl 103, while my GP 5 Absol has 537 atk (same conditions as Haxrous) only at lvl 90. As you can see there is a significant difference. Not to mention Haxrous's base att stat is 147 and Absol's is only 130.
There are certain requirements for Gp to be passed down. One is that the pokemon you are breeding must be in their last evolution. The second is that GP is not always passed down to the next egg from a pokemon. The chances of it being passed down is their difference in genes. The LESS similar the pokemon are too each other the HIGHER chance of GP increasing. To save some trouble you can check the pokemon's GP when they're an egg so only hatch the ones you need and toss the others away. Three is that when breeding the egg's GP will be the least GP of the parents. For example Breeding GP 3 with a GP 2 it will always result in a GP 2 eggs. Because of that, you have to have two pokemon with the same GP to pass to the next GP rank. For example, two GP 3 will result in GP 3 or GP 4 eggs.
Just a heads up if you breed with only one (or two if you're not using ditto) pokemon you will always get a dead-end of GP 4 because of their genes being 100% similar. You can check the similarity from the scientist next to the old man next to the daycare. By that point, I recommend breeding another pokemon in the same egg group so that you will end with at least 2 different pokemon with GP 5.
So when you start some tips. Get Sask incense from a farmer right of sylen city, increase eggs when held by a pokemon. Get a ditto, use power glove on your dad's truck at the start of the game. Check gender ratio of pokemon, some have more chances of being one gender than the other. Cause you need one female and one male to breed, of course. Remember when breeding with different pokemon in the same egg group the egg will always be the female pokemon.
I recommend getting one set (male and female) of one pokemon to GP 4 then start breeding another pokemon of the same egg group. Then you can just use the first set of pokemon as partners for the new set. For example if my second set of pokemon is Absol and I already have a female and male set of Blaziken from 1 to GP 4. Then whatever gender my absol is at GP 2 or whatever I can breed it with the counterpart Blaiken. Just when at GP 4 I make sure there is a male and female Absol so I can have a GP 5 Blakiken and Absol, cause of the female thing. It took me a couple of hours to reach GP 5 but you just have to be lucky and patient.
