Do you need 2 ds systems to trade pokemon in white and platinum

Question

Should the ds systems be kept close each other

Answer 1

Although correct, Black Empoleon, there is more to it.

To answer:
1.) Yes, you need 2 DS systems. One for Platinum (go for DS down-load), one for White (do the actual transfer).
2.) You don't trade, you poke-transfer. Thats where you can transfer up to 6 pokemon from a gen.4 game to gen.5 .

Hope this helped!
