Magikarp Makes A Splash With Its Own Mobile Pokémon Game

The Pokémon Company has released a brand-new Pokémon game for mobile devices, this time starring the most unlikely Pokémon: Magikarp. In Magikarp Jump, players train their beloved Magikarp to jump as high as possible and beat the competition for the title of League Champion.

You can check out the trailer below.

Additionally, here’s an official overview of Magikarp Jump from its page on Google Play Store.

What is this world coming to?! It’s a Pokémon game all about the weakest Pokémon ever—Magikarp! Anyone can play this simple game in their spare time to create the most majestic Magikarp ever in this official Pokémon app!

 

What kind of Pokémon is Magikarp?
・ It’s famous—for being pathetically weak, unreliable, and generally useless.
・ It can’t learn any powerful moves—all it does is flop around and splash!
・ When it flops its way too high in the sky, it’s sometimes snagged by the Bird Pokémon Pidgeotto—never to be seen again!
Many surprising events lie in store for this pathetic Pokémon. But don’t worry—it’ll just keep on jumping until it can jump no more!

Here are more features on the game:

• Simple controls let anyone easily raise many generations of Magikarp
