2nd Gen Pokerus? Ever had it?

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 got it once in Crystal on my Feraligatr; but I didn't find out anything about it in time to do anything with it. Which sucked but it was there.

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
 
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.
