I remember giving my dad a Pokemon game for the first time, it was pearl, and he got set off, and then a day later he asked me why his Pokemon had 'pokerus'. before the first gym. I was so mad

Odds of getting stabbed by a naked midget > Odds of getting Pokerus.

Wow, we only need Shiny Rayquaza and Mirage Island to complete the list of strangest things that can occur on a Gen 3 speedrun.

Dang it werster, you get everything with small chances. You get top percent bad luck with crits, you get shinies, you've now gotten pokerus. What's next? Mirage island? A mudkip with max IVs? :O

[agumonpopato]

Ahaha, I got Pokerus in Pokemon Pearl a few years ago, I was so confused xD

[ShadowNinja]

Oh so that was what the message said when I was playing, I was just skipping text and I remember nurse joy had extra lines and it confused me for the longest time

[KanaIzumiya]

I once got Pokérus on a Tropius I just got on my Emerald a really long time ago. I was scared and thought it was an actual virus thing cause I didn't know english back in the day.

[skorpsaiyan]

Played hundreds of hours of Pokemon and never got it.

[Mcsqueegy]

Would've been WR if he hadn't got lost in the ocean :(

[aniahliepard]

For someone who never reads her text you only know you got Pokérus when Nurse Joy *doesn't shut up*

[Al-tanin]

One time i bought from a gamestop a very old Ruby cartridge for about 3 dollars, since i needed to finish Emerald pokedex.
Turns out the guy did not delete his saves, so i go check.
Not only i found most of the pokes i needed, but he got a lv20 Anorith with pokerus sitting in a box.THE CHANCES

I started playing Emerald again a week ago and since I had never before trained a Milotic, I decided to get one. I hunted hours and hours for that damn Feebas, and when I finally caught one I also caught a Pokerus :D

[adityakuttus]

I still remember the first time I got pokerus I thought my team was affected with some kinda disease so I restarted the whole damn game smh

[jackson.]

I lived breathed and ate Pokémon during a certain time in my life and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this:/

[helpfulmander]

I got pokerus on my first run of pokemon ever, I thought it was a bad thing so I deposited that pokemon in the box lol

[skorpsaiyan]

Man, it is like you have all of the bad luck, yet also have some good luck while the rest of us are just....average.

[KairiHawk]

I wonder how the rest of the run went, because wouldn't it technically gotten a lot better because of Pokerus?

[Irjeibrieuhyhrhv]

I've only caught it twice - once while playing Silver as a kid, and just recently playing Black. And the second time I just skipped over it, too, and only noticed it later.

[wallacewalter]

I am so unlucky, that I didn’t knew this was a thing.
