Pokerus

Have you ever gotten Pokerus? So far I got it once from a wild Pokemon and now from a WonderTraded Swablu. I'm just kinda curious to see if this has happened to others: The Pokerus had spread to the Pokemon Egg given by the Hot-Springs lady. This is in Alpha Sapphire.

Well, tons of my Pokemon got Pokerus from a Wondertraded shiny Swablu, and it spread with all of my Pokemon like wildfire in X and Y. I feel like Pokerus makes a Pokemon a bit special, and useful stat-wise.
I haven't gotten to the Hot-Springs yet, but I'll edit this post later, If I get Pokerus or not.
 
My entire team somehow contracted it in Alpha Sapphire while I was training a Lunatone at Jagged Pass for the Lavaridge Gym (which ended up not being needed because my Seaking did the whole job with one move per Pokemon haha).

Last time I encountered the Pokérus was in Gen IV, specifically Diamond. I'm pretty sure it started with my Rotom - which I kept in PC stasis as some form of feedstock. Made EV training far less of a pain in the arse than it could have been, for sure.

I'm pretty sure that's the last time I ever got it in a game, though.

Someone here, i don't remember who, gave me my first Pokemon with Pokerus sometime last year. It has since spread to several Pokemon that I gladly keep in my PC for "just in case" stuff.

The first time I got it on accident happened in an Emerald ROM I was playing on. I don't remember who got it first, mostly because by the time I realized what happened everyone in the party was already infected. Heh ^^;
 
I remember first getting it here in Gen VI. I remember my Xerneas contracting it from a Weepinbell, and I've been spreading it amongst my boxes ever since. :)

I wonder traded off a Slakoth I got earlier in OR,and got a Pokerus Eeevee. It didn't give Pokerus to anything though, so I wondertraded it off for an HA Poochyena.

got it off of a GTS Steelix, totally forgot until I realized all of my pokemon had pokerus. Naturally, I keep it inside of my "Infection" box, which is how all my pokemon were massively leveled up/overtrained at the E4

My first encounter with Pokerus was in Silver. I freaked out because I thought it was some kind of virus so I turned off. Then I got it again at a later point in the game. Must have been fate. Come to think of it I got Pokerus in Crystal too. Didn't get it once in Gen III except by Action Replay because I wanted EV training for the Battle Frontier to go faster. Gen IV I only got it in SoulSilver via trade with a friend. Gen V I got it naturally in White and by trade in W2. Haven't seen it yet in Gen VI but I can always get it once I send a Sapphire native up through the generations to AS.
 
i have many pokemon with pokerus but my first was in either b2 or y i cant remember really. the latest encounter with pokerus was in emerald and for some reason the time is stuck so the pokemon that originally got it gave it to a majority of my other pokemon

Most likely that's because your internal battery is dead. Pokerus naturally disappears after 2-3 days but since Gen III's internal battery was responsible for the flow of time, Pokerus can never fade once obtained since the 2-3 days will never pass.
 
To be honest, I don't even know which Pokemon I got it from, wasn't even aware that one of my Pokemon had gotten it (I think it was my Luxray or Purrbeauty or Liepard in my Cat Team) - it was until I got to the Pokemon Center that I learned that one of my felines had PokeRus.
 
I've gotton Pokerus 3 times-- twice in Emerald from random encounters (they both coincidentally happened on Route 121, and were contracted by wild Glooms), and once in Diamond (it could've been Platinum, I don't remember) inside of Stark Mountain from a wild Magcargo
