    I got Pokerus for the first time in X & totally freaked out!! :P I thought my Pokemon was going to die or something lol
    It took me a while to find out that it was a good thing xD I was also very lucky to get a shiny lvl 86 Pinsir with Pokerus in a wonder trade!
    I thought it was like a new feature & had no idea Pokerus existed in the older games :P

  • I've never gotten Pokérus in second gen. First time I ever got it was in 3rd gen, so for the longest time I never even knew it was possible to get it back in second gen haha

  • I got my shots as a kid, so thankfully I never got Pokerus.

    ...

    A Diglett that I caught in Gold had it though. Don't know if I quite understood what Pokerus did when I was younger though, and I'm pretty sure it went right into the PC never to come out once I found out it was infected with it.

    When I did the cloning Glitch, I messed up my Save, and during that period I experienced some really strange glitches on my save. One of them were that every single one of my Pokemon had the Pokèrus. And every single Pokemon I caught in the grass had the Rus. I didn't knew what it was at the time, because internet were kinda new and all, but because of the name, I got kinda creeped out and believed there were something seriously wrong with my Pokèmon. I started to believe that some kind of epidemic happened in my game and that all of my Pokemon were beyond save. Which, ironically, they were, because I kept doing the cloning glitch and f-up fa real, resulting in me being forced to restart my save. Since then, I have never, ever encountered the Pokèrus again.

    Not in gen 2, no. I've only ever gotten it through traded Pokémon. SoulSilver was the very first time I got Pokérus on my own, on a Latias I was in the middle of EV training...

  • I got it on my Typhlosion at some point. I can't remember from which pokemon. But all I remember is trying to get rid of it because I didn't like seeing it lol I think I was to young to really understand what it was for.
