3rd Gen Beware Of The Game Virus!!!!

[Zangooser]

There's game virus going around infecting people's games with SERIOUS glitches!! :dead: :dead: :dead:

Here are the Syptoms:
1.Automatic Inf Item with out an AR
2.Pokemon Lv reverting
3.Automatic Pokemon Release
4.Inf Pokemon Stats with out an AR
5.Ocasional Game Freezing
6.Game Restart with a low game time

If you have 3 or more of the syptoms without using an AR
You may have the virus, and no it not Missingno
I advise you not to battle/chat/trade/berry crush etc. with anyone

My whole school is infected......... besides me......... :( :( :(
All the kids in my school suspect it was me who spread the virus
but,I only got 1 syptom............

First off, Zangooser, the only way a virus could make its way to a game is by connecting to a computer(usually to upload either cheat device codes or gamesaves), and get it while uploading. After all, Nintendo wouldn't knowingly put a virus in a game, and they know all about their games, since they programmed them!

Therefore, it is safe to conclude that you did not make the virus, but some sort of gamesave someone made was altered whilst in the computer. It could be caused by that, or trading with an altered ROM. It could have been altered by an uber long code, by the computer itself having a virus and eating away the ROM from the Inside Out, or simply taking that same virus and having it lay dormant in the game until the next trade, battle, or whatever.

There's also the possibility that a Rom Patch of some sort had a virus in it, or, when added to the programming of the ROM, made the Virus.
