I 100% this game and did it over an entire summer completely F2P. I don't know why other than this game was stupidly addictive.
Yeah, definitely is the king of game that works for that!
You're probably one,of the few,people who 100% this masterpiece. Kudos
@@WardofSquidreally isn’t that hard tbh
@@phoenixwhiler943 If you have the motivation and time (or pay money) to. Not everyone has that. I reached a point where I completed the Dexes but couldn't keep grinding coins and diamonds for the pond booster, decorations, and friendship items.
@@WardofSquid took me a while but it’s definitely doable, I was addicted to it but once I beat it I trashed it
As a game designer, this was a very curious experience. It’s basically a simple idle/"clicker" game (think Cookie Clicker, with all the purchasable boosters, and the idle elements being food because it can accumulate even when the game is offline, and training because these have long recharges) in all aspects, but they went all in on the Magikarp theming and it resulted in a very fun experience overall as a result. I remember spending an irresponsible amount of time on this during my university days…
Generally the enjoyment of idle games like these is derived from seeing the variety among the repetition. And Magikarp Jump was pretty fun at this. Apart from the aforementioned pattern variety (and they had a Dex for those), there were numerous silly Magikarp themed events which could boost, retire or kill your Magikarp in silly ways, and numerous absurd training minigames you can buy which involve your Magikarp performing ridiculous exercises
The designers really put their hearts into the sheer number of silly Magikarp shenanigans, and that made the game fun despite its simplicity.
In a current mobile market full of microtransactions and live service games constantly demanding attention, it’s kinda nice to see Magikarp Jump just… casually exist on the App Store, no update or anything required. And I hope it continues to stay around as a cute experience
personally im hoping that someday these magikarp variants get implemented into the main games somehow. a real alcremie moment for magikarps.
I guess it's just like a magikarp "they can survive in the harshest of ponds" or something like that lol
Honestly, I never thought tapping random berries in the water was going to get me so addicted, but Majokarp jump ended being basically my entire life for 2 months straight 😅
?
it’s not really an idle game, are you sure you’re a game designer ?
Random note, I’m still so heartbroken that Pokémon Duel got canned. That game was absolute fire and, unlike many other competitive mobile games, not all that pay-to-win
Still got screenshots and memories of that, much better game than masters ex, unfortunately duel probably died for that game
@@dragonmaster3030 Tbh, that makes me torn. Love masters for some of the outfit designs and the expanded lore for characters we wont see in a mainline game for a while. On the other hand, Duel is such a better game on the gameplay side than Masters. Shame we could only have one...
@@the_godbodor7026 I prefer gameplay and to be honest, masters doesn't really have that, also all things considered I was kinda invested into duels original characters like Sharon, another thing to note is duels music, time to time I still hear the menu theme in the back of my head. I remember using gabite on most my teams, really interesting what that thing could do, just wish it didnt take till final update for mega chomp to release
@Dragon Master Fair fair. And either way, Duel was dealt such a dirty hand being taken down so quickly. Imagine this game still being supported today, there would definitely be a tournament scene around the game (especially if one formed around GO’s basic battle system).
@@the_godbodor7026 didn't duel already have a small tournament scene, I remember their being some sort of exclusive figures given to high placements during event times though maybe thats something else
I will say, I really appreciated the attention to detail with shinies in the game, as the Corsola and Luvdisc could be shiny, and the shiny golden Magikarp would even be red if it accidentally evolved.
As a meme game, it was quite enjoyable xD
Apparently Feebas can be Shiny too, but you get way less encounters with it, and I've personally never seen it.
I wish more Pokemon games delve into the pet raising aspect of it. Like make a standalone game all about Pokemon contests and you have to raise your Pokemon how a Pokemon Coordinator would by taking care of its fur, feeding it and just making the Pokemon happy.
I remember getting a shiny Magikarp once, they got snatched away by that damned bird. 6 year old me was crying.
I played this all the way up to 2020, and I think one of the coolest things that ever happened for me was seeing one of the background Luvdisc be shiny
I love the fact that you can see the previous generation magikarps in the background. It's such a nice little detail
I still miss Pokémon Duel. That game was fun as all hell.
Really wish I would’ve played it a lot more before it shut down 😔
@@GatorEX same
Same 😢
Me too
Same I wanted to see more of the story
i hope this game gets to stick around a good long time. i don’t want this sweet little overblown joke to get wiped out by planned obsolescence just yet.
I wish the different Magikarp patterns had made it to the main games. Some of them are really pretty.
I used to love this game! Definitely gotta re-download it
Crazy to think that, af all Pokémon mobile games, Magikarp Jump overlived Pokémon Duel, which was also a phenomenal game with potential to be even better. Man those days were good...
YES THE FUNNI FISH GAME
FUNNI FISH GAME 🐠
Man, hearing Magikarp Jump and Pokemon Duel brings back fond memories. I miss my younger days.
Thank you for featuring not only this game, but also the non-Pokemon conterpart and briefly Pokemon Duel!
I played all these games in 2017 and you definitely unerthed my nostalgia! I am glad we can actually put more focus on good mobile games because not only do they exist, but are so so overshadowed by the hungry giants! I am still nostalgic for mobile games from 2015 before the microtransaction boom and I am stupid sad I can't find them anymore!
OMG I'm so glad you got to cover this
Was high up on the priority list! Had to talk about my friend, Magikarp.
i had 9 shinies after my first run and became the magichamp but none of the cool blue or gray ones
Recording footage for the game got me hooked again and I really want a Blue Magikarp now 😳
It's like a hidden gem of a game and I feel sort of happy that many of the mainstream folks don't know about it, It almost feels like an esoteric piece of art out there.
I love magikarp jump! I still have my original save and occasionally pick it back up. I’ve caught so many shinies in it that I get disappointed they’re shinies instead of a rare pattern. 😂 I finished all the battles a long time ago but still go through phases of playing it a ton to try to complete my pattern dex. It’s a great mobile game for sure!
Yeah! "Can you just give me another Skelly or something!? Seriously, I have over 15 Golds, I don't need more!" - Me when I played this game.
I would love to see the magikarp patterns, partly because it would be funny to see it in the top traded pokemon on HOME
holy shit I played this all summer and I totally forgot
Space fighter magikarp
I remember I was so happy when getting rewards on special event, until this one event that it's either I get a reward or Pidgeotto will get it. My jaw drop to the floor when Pidgeotto catch my Magikarp.
This came out when I was in college, and frankly I spent an absurd amount of time playing it. I had unlocked every single pattern and every single death (including Dratini) and played through the entirety of the jump league that was available at that point haha. It was a fun time.
It’s funny you mentioned Surprise Mola Mola because I also spent an absurd amount of time playing that game too 😂
I started replaying this recently, cool to see a whole video on it
I literally just redownloaded it last night! I never got far enough in to see all of the events and patterns, so learning that they actually change colors, other than the shiny, is completely new to me and now I HAVE to get them
Dang you made me remember this game and reinstall in and now I’ve been playing it nonstop for days lol
This game was the “oh right this exist” on the road trip and then proceed to grind it out for hours
That game still feels like a fever dream that I can't tell if it happened or if we were all living in a simulation at the same time.
I played this game quite a bit ago and enjoyed it! It has a lot of charm and it is very addicting. I don't think it could be anything bigger like Im not exactly sure if I should ask for a console version or a sequel, but I think if anything else comes out of it then that would be great (didn't know the there was an anime episode with it, that's nice).
Also I like the protag they created for the game. One of those protags you can't tell the gender of and they kinda stand out with their design doing good for that aspect in that you couldn't really tell just from their design, it's actually kinda charming.
Finally... This is one of the only free mobile games I spent money on XD. I am not proud of it, but I guess it is one of the better ones, so... Ehhh. It did have this weird diamond system where if you pay more you get more, and I can see how that makes things more tempting to buy more, but it does also feel like we 'have' to pay a certain amount to really get the most out of the game, so.... I am just unsure I admit on that aspect I admit.
“Here, Goh’s magikarp, hold this everstone for a while.” 😅
This game was fun! I forgot why I stopped playing but it was such a wholesome game. I loved all the different types of Magikarp. It was kind of nice to see one of the most useless pokemon get some love.
Edit: Really glad the game is still up the title mislead me a bit
I'm definitely going to download this game but I wasn't expecting to see you survive mola mola cuz I play The Battle cats and that game collabs with the Battle cats pretty much every single year
great video you summarised the game really well
This game is very simple, yet the low stakes give it a very zen and calming atmosphere that gives players a chance to unwind and relax. While most mobile games push aggressively push and are built around microtransactions this game is actually pretty ethical about it. There's no button for thr store on the main screen and you have to click through a few menus to even get to it.
Wow, I havent played this game for a while. I really loved it while the hype lasted, considered replaying it sometime but for now i think Magikarp Jump is incredibly addictive
My favourite thing to do in that game was go “WELCOME TO MAGIKARP BOOTCAMP! WHAT WE DONT DO HERE IS SLACK OFF,IF THERE IS FRUIT TO EAT WE WILL EAT IT AND IF THERE IS TRANING TO DO WE WILL DO IT!”
I really enjoyed this (and Duel) back during High School
To this day, my pokemon go Avatar has all the magikarp merch and bonus hat you can get if you had Magikarp Jump
I really hope we'll have another chance to see again the many magikarp patterns, they really made this game fun
I can agree with axecon, as a younger kid i LOVED this game and never stopped playing it! i remember catching a golden majikarp once and screaming about it. seeing this brought back some good childhood memories
Dude seeing the Duel screenshots gave me flashbacks, I miss that game
You also made me re-download magikarp jump lol
Anybody remember that annoying caterpe babysitting simulator in hey you pikachu? You know. The one that would make you bald yourself as a kid? That one? Yeah. That's the follow up we need to magikarp jump! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!
Good content as always!
this game was always such a charming thing to play for a bit and see what happens. also interesting thing to note when you tap manaphy and the corsola and luvdisc show up there's a very small chance one of them will be a shiny corsola or luvdisc
Reminded me of the mini game in Stadium
I still have it on my phone but it was initially region blocked... maybe it still is
i liked the support pokemon cheering for u and i rlly liked magikarp jumps art style too ):
I still actively play this game between classes and named a Magikarp after each word of the whooper song and I think it's funny
I actually found an old iPad and saw this game and the nostalgia rolled through…
6:10 whats even funnier is that they also play the magicarp song in the background
I was going into this video expecting an essay on Magikarp Jump and its message on mortality
Still got this on my phone. I truly wish they would incorporate the shiny variants into the mainline games. Those violet ones are 👌🏻
I never knew this was a thing, but after this video I looked it up and it’s still available! I’m on my 5th Generation rn, he’s a Gold Magikarp named Garden, and I’m loving it so far!
I especially love that they give you diamonds for EVERYTHING-I can’t spend even a dollar on games but playing totally free for just one day I have 347 diamonds and I’m getting ready to pick my first pond decoration.
Thanks so much for introducing me to this!
I remember playing this in mid 2017 I was stuck at a bad job and hated it but this game kept me busy and happy during my breaks
I played the hell out of the both Magikarp jump and pokemon duel
I still play jump today, and I really miss duel..I was pretty good and had a jacked team (lunala, Mimikyu, haxsorus, groudon, darkrai,& shiny metagross) I still have a screenshot of a match where I managed simultaneously block both of my opponents entry points and knock out their pokemon on the board
I remember playing this, I would play all night just to raise one Magikarp, also tried to download survive mola mola as well as reinstalling magikarp jump to see the differences but the app isn't available since it was made for older devices, ah well, I'll have fun training up Magikarp again
I remember this game from my early years in high school! I 100% the entire game and when I saw it being referenced in the anime, it took me back
Now you made me want to play this game.
This is so fun because i am playing magikarp jump right now. Back when it released, my phone didn't have the storage for it (only 4GB in total....) and then downloaded it in 2021 when i got a new phone, and started playing it again recently because i forgot about it. It's really fun to play, it doesn't require your full attention during the entire day and i find it fun raising so many different magikarps
I would have loved to have seen the entire pattern dex filled out.
Now I want all those magicarp colours!
It had a good run. Played for a bit in the past. Wish it had more a gameplay.
Forgot this was a game honestly
downloading this again thanks
I loved this game and still have it on my phone, maybe I'll continue it someday
NGL this game sounds interesting from the way you described it. I'm gonna go download it and give it a try
bro, i played this so much when i was younger
good times
I have fond memories of playing this on the school bus and getting shinies! It was a super fun mobile game
I forgot about it for years until my friend was playing it a month ago
I rlly enjoyed comparing our magikarps with my friends at school
I remembered this game existed a few weeks ago and redownload it, I almost cried when Voltorb blew up my Magikarp
It came out while I was at London MCM comicon and well, adored the theming. Would probably be willing to spend money for a little idle like this, if it didn't have microtransactions.
I used to love this game and then forgot about it until now
I remember my Shiny Magikarp getting blown up
I remember being addicted to this game. I only forgot about it after my old phone broke.
Magikarp is the perfect pokemon. That's WHY.
I can't decide what is a bigger time waster that I loved! 😂 This or ZenKoi! Same thing, same time period.
SUPER NICE, remember Candyevie playing this
I wish there were some connectivity of these games for the core series games: like, you'd gain a shiny magikarp if you reached certain threshold
I remember playing this at one point!
Dude, I remember having a golden magikarp that got swiped by a bird while I was training it. Needless to say, I couldn't keep playing after that.
I still play this game :) I used to randomly lose my save, so i'd just restart and continue on
I love this game! I went and tried to speedrun this game for awhile
man i loved this game, there was even an time that my dad fished me up an shiny magikarp, i was so happy that day since it was my first shiny ever
1:32 hell yeah baby 😂 I played that more than the main game
Lickytongue and Ratata mobile game when? 😂
I fucking loved this silly little game. While the GO craze was everywhere, I actually found myself spending way more time playing Magikarp Jump.
i used to love this game man. good games
Any chance you can speak on the silence on the Pokemon Home update? great content as per, GatorEX
If Goh's Magikarp dropping its weights is a reference to Rock Lee doing that same 5hing in Naruto that's hilarious because I didn't follow journeys much. Amazing vid
I could be wrong, but I think Dragon Ball was the first one who did that concept.
i Loved this game so much but man it got nothin goin on after the first league
The loop of feeding and then doing special events reminds me of this weird game I used to play, I think it was called Mola Mola or something, a poorly translated Japanese(?) game based off of raising sunfish
I slowly chipped away at this game over 4 years and I have a lot of good memories of it
my favourite moment playing this game is the time i got 3 shiny magikarps in a row after each retired i was so confused how it happened but loved that it did.
I still play this game, it's really fun!
I hated this game, not because it was 'bad' but because restarting took way to long.
I remember really being into this game until there was nothing else I could do and then I put it down. I forgot it existed until I saw this.
3:12 pains me every time...
I like that they did that tho.
Wish there was a way to see all the gens. However, other than they randomly appear swimming in the background of our comically large pond... that might be connected to the sea.
Show me my 140+ babies dammit 😂
I really like the game. I played it a lot back when it came out xD
The game is so funny ^^
I've completed all the leagues and have the pattern dex full.
But sadly I still miss the Dratini event, beside that I'm pretty much 100% complete xD
What I also liked about the game, it's free and you can spend money on it, but it doesn't annoy you by begging for money all the time xD
Fun fact: you can also find shiny luvdisc and corsola, I've found both hehe
