I think I have ran into a simi major glitch, one day on the GTS I traded something for a level 100 glacion (I was exited so I wasn't thinking about if it was hacked or not) so after I got the pokemon I couldn't trade some pokemon on the Gts even though I have what they wanted. I releaced (SP?) the pokemon but this still happens. it hasn't affected my main game so I'm not that worried about it. but does anyone know what happened or have any suggestions?

That isn't a glitch. Pokemon Platinum GTS sucks, kinda. You can't see the level that the person wants the Pokemon to be, so you may have the Pokemon they want but not the level they want it at.

So that was the reason, the whole time? This means that the GTS actually got worse from D/P to Platinum.

I think I just got the weather glitch. Well, this is what happened:

*weather condition*
PLASMA is hurt by its Levitate.
SNAP is hurt by its Overgrow.
The foe's MURKROW is hurt by its Insomnia.

These happened for a few times during a trainer battle in the Lost Tower, over and over again, but with different weather. The weird thing is the Pokemons in the battle didn't use any moves like Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Hail and Sandstorm. Well, the place is foggy. Maybe that's why? And why does it says that the Pokemons are hurt by their abilities instead of the weather(s)? (o.0)

The time that Pokerus is still around varies with different pokemon and different games. It could last either only a day or maybe more than 3. If it lasts more than a week, though, I think it may be a glitch.

You have been Claytonated.

i'm pretty sure that pokerus's spread ability is only suppose to last until midnight of the day that it contracted, which is why i'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them in plat

o_O i actually thought that was a glitch too. there was one Pokemon i had someone wanted but it wasnt in a level. I thought my game was screwed. Well thats stupid =/
 
I don't know if this is a glitch or not, but my Giratina gained really weird stats one day... They were this:

Max. Hp: +4
Attack: +33
Defense: +-24
Sp. Atk: +26
Sp. Def: +-24
Speed: 3

This also happened again to the same Giratina a few days ago, but I resetted since I didn't want his defenses going down (and I just got done EV training him)... None of my other pokemon did this, and this only happened to Giratina when he was in Origin Forme... Is this a glitch?

I'll upload the picture sometime later... since I did take a picture of it :/

Have you used an AR? If not, I can't think of anything else.

whoa, those stat changes are really freaky. i think it smells of an action replay. I can't possibly think the programming could glitch hthis badly on its own.

Pokerus varies... I've personally had it last less than a day or up to a week before. Anyway, three days isn't unusual. I could be wrong, but I think it partially depends on how many EVs your pokemon gains, as well as how long it's had it.

I think that happens because Giratina Origin's base Attack and Sp. Attack are higher than its defenses, while the Altered Forme has lower Attack and Sp. Attack and higher defenses.
So maybe its stats are being adjusted to fit the ones the Origin Forme is supposed to have.
