    I got the pokerus from the Togepi that hatched from the Egg given to you by Professor Elm's aide. Rather amusing that I got it that early in the game.

    In Diamond I got it from a Kadabra (now Alakazam) in a GTS trade.

  • My girlfriend's son got it in Platinum and came up to me freaking out because he thought it was bad. Then I started freaking out because I was jealous and made him infect a Pachirisu to trade with me. Now I have a box labeled "Infected" with a bunch of Pokémon who have it.

  • I got Pokerus on my Soul Silver Pokemon because I traded plenty of infected one into the game and placed it into the PC as soon as possible to keep them infected. I got Pokerus legitimately from a wild Pokemon in Diamond though.

    It seems so much harder. I got pokerus extremely easily in Pokemon Crystal and Pokemon Sapphire and even with generation 2 and 3 in general it was not that difficult. Now i feel like it's so much harder to get it.

  • I got Pokerus while training my Slowpoke to fight Morty in Route 36. This was on the second new game I started on my SoulSilver, and getting it so early on makes me feel lucky. I put it on my Togepi to preserve it in my box XD.

    EDIT: My bad, route 37, not 36. I was never good with route names. :P

    I got Pokerus on one of my Pokemon a few days ago, while I was training it. Got it on the route between Mahogany Town and the Ice Caves.

  • I've had Pokerus since a few weeks of owning Platinum. A different Pokemon ends up getting it. Rarely got the virus in Gen 2 though.

  • My Pokerus actually started from my Sapphire game!
    I emigrated my Pokemons over and most of them caught them.
    Now it've spread from Sapphire - Leafgreen - Diamond - Platinum - HGSS :P

  • I got pokerus in a trade back in my diamond version through the GTS. I think it was attatched to a bibarel, but I am uncertain. But ever since then, I've spread it to every pokemon that I EV train, making it a lot easier.

    My entire team (except for my level 3 Geodude/HM slave) just got Pokerus... after I went to the Pokemon Center and healed them a minute back. I went and I'm still going OMGBBQWTF. Boy, that was unexpected.

    I love my Pokemon, even though they are totally underleveled. <3

    This rules.

    And damn, my Togetic's in the box when all this happens. D:

    Minute later: old Elm calls me and tells me about it. Yeah, as if Nurse Joy's explanation wasn't enough.

    It's the weirdest thing. I brought over a bunch of water type starters to my soulsilver, and I caught a Pidgey w/ pkrs. So, after some time it healed from all of my pkmn, and...well...I was wanting pkrs forever and it just...gone...*sobs*

  • I got one in a trade once without realising. XD (this was in Pearl)
    Apparently, my Platinum game got the Pokerus at some point, since I don't recall trade an infected Pokemon.

    my SOulSilver though, has yet to get it. XD
