2. No items in battle (except held items)
3. No glitches or exploits*
4. No Double-Team TM before level 100*
Other rules:

Obviously this run is just for fun as this isn't a real University Magikarp. I will say though that because that was a Japanese only event, it is still *theoretically* impossible to beat Gen 1 with a Magikarp.... UNLESS you trade with Gen 2. There was an English Language event New York City Pokemon Center, where Magikarp got Reversal (needs to be deleted) but also BUBBLE. That is the only way anyone could have legitimately beaten these games with Magikarp. Don't really have a point just never had a good place to mention this haha.
Yeah the bubble Magikarp with Reversal is pretty cool! I want to try that one in gen2 at some point. Of course all these runs are just for fun, since it's only possible to start Yellow with a Pikachu! (Which was always very frustrating for me as a kid!)
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I think this is the first time JRose has ever commented on a video of yours! Consider that an accomplishment!
Couldn’t you just use the pokedoll to get passed the ghost marowack though?
@@jordanforbes149it's not the Marowak. There are are mandatory Channelers with Ghost Pokemon otherwise immune to Magikarp's usual learnset
I farted once
It really is a testament to your talent as a creator that you can talk about a Pokémon with two moves for 100 minutes and make it interesting.
I concur.
Testify!
My fiancée read this comment to me last month.
Also dedicating a quarter of the screen to Magikarp's nonexistent movepool is low key one of your finest moments.
Definitely a T-pose mood
Normally that side of the screen does a lot work heavy lifting. It got a break today.
The challenge hits home because of that.
Thumbs up if you want to see Scott do a run with Magicarp with bubble and tackle (and eventually delete splash via move deleter) in Gen 2. And perhaps also in Gen 1 via trade :)
Just want to note with how Gen 1 and 2 works, you can't trade Pokemon from the JP versions to the international versions without the international save corrupting, so the University Magikarp truly is locked to the 20 Japanese cartridges that obtained it back then.
Oh i'm well aware, it wasn't until generation 4 you where finally able to trade freely around the world with no worries of corrupting your data.
Or, y'know, a Japanese Gen 2 copy
@@CecilTheDarkKnight234 Gen 3 was actually the starting point for international trading? Likely didn't see much use since you had to trade locally.
@@fifaworldcup1994 or a Japanese copy of Stadium 1 or 2. With there only being 20 copies, they were likely kept on the Gen 1 cartridges which are dead by now.
@@Mrperson0yeah if there's someone out there who still owns that Magikarp legitimately I doubt they would ever know they have one of the most unique Pokémon ever distributed
6:28: It is technically possible to teach the University Magikarp the move Tackle, though it is impractical. It would require using the Move Reminder in Pokémon Stadium 2, which you can use once every time you complete the Elite Four & Champion portion of the Gym Leader Castle, and the University Magikarp would need to be in your party for all five Stadium 2 battles (but doesn't necessarily need to participate in any of the five battles).
I do like that if a person spends another day in another game, the University Magikarp could probably not require items. Or at least not be walled at Erika, and possibly only be walled at Sabrina.
@@iantaakalla8180 lol
Woah. That's wild
I had no idea they had Move Reminder before Emerald. Kind of like, up until a couple weeks ago, I had no idea you could get pokeballs from Professor Oak before you leave for the forest. I thought that was only in FR / LG
This just goes to show that Early Pokémon wasn’t super user-friendly 😂
I, and I think many others, very much appreciate the detail in the overlay! I, as a small child, came to the ironclad conclusion that stat moves were too small to be helpful, and being able to see just how each number changes in each circumstance is incredibly helpful! I am also a serial listener of RUclips content, and your videos are wonderful for that purpose!
Couldn't agree more
Yes to all of this comment.
i don't know if this works in yellow, but i think you could use an elixir after lorelei because you can fish in her room to waste splash pp
Omg. That’s amazing!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon yep, i remember people softlocking that room and pointing out you can fish in there.
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon
It should also work for Lance as in gen 1 are the button part of the statues in his rooms treated as water tiles and therefor can you fish in them too.
Well according to Bulbapedia you can still fish for Magikarp, Goldeen, and Poliwag in her room using the Old and Good Robs in Pokemon Yellow.
@@DarkCT people being Pikasprey
Oh my god, University Magikarp looks so cute! But even with Dragon Rage, I don't know how fast it is going to be... perhaps 2 hours? I'm so excited to see! ^o^
EDIT: Few minutes in and I saw that I was a bit too optimistic. This aged worse than a dairy drink.
You’d need to be a probability manipulator for that to happen.
Aged like milk comment
"2 hours"
Lmao
Just say you meant 2 hours of edited video :) which would not be too far off!
@@hanswurst9120 You‘re right! With the power of Video Editing it just took 2 hours. 🤭
The probability of your trainer ID alone matching the University Magikarp's trainer ID would be 1/65535 since that is the possible range for IDs from 00000 to 65535. However you would also have to match the trainers name which if you include all the potential combinations of characters that would push the odds to 1/2,147,483,648 in Gen 1 and Gold/Silver since the OT can only be male but in Crystal the odds go up to 1/4,294,967,296 since the OT can be male or female. From Gen 3 onward, it's impossible to have a traded Pokemon obey you accidentally by matching trainer ID, secret ID, and trainer name because the catch location of the Pokemon is listed as "Met in trade" which actually controls whether the Pokemon is owned or not in Gen 3 onward.
Does the trainer name actually matters? Because you could just transfer the Magikarp to a cartridge, see it's trainer name and then initiate a new game in another cartridge and give the same trainer name, just needing to reset for the ID.
I calculate the expected number of attempts needed to match the ID considering the 1/65535 sucess rate. It would have 50% probability to get it within 45426 attempts, or 90% probability to get it within 150901 attempts.
@@anlev11 Yeah that is true unless the OT name was randomized too you would just have to name your character the same name as the OT and then try and roll for that ID over and over. That's where a tool assisted run would be useful since it would get that roll first try lol.
Regarding University Magikarp,
From what i've heard atleast, it actually was given that Trainer's OT, unlike any other event pokemon at that time.
I'd imagine nowadays there's probably 0 way to truly see if this is true or not considering as you said, a legitimate University Magikarp likely no longer exists unless there was some kid out there who **really** wanted to preserve it for god knows whatever reason
I mean its rare, maybe there would be value in that. But its been so long odds are it has been evolved or lost to time.
@@Aliyah_666 More probably, batteries keeping him alive run out
YES! I knew this was gonna be university magikarp! I think there was also an event bubble magikarp in GSC.
There is..
That technically means there is a Magikarp that can beat RBY without items.
@@iantaakalla8180 yeah and I think someone ran both bubble and Dragon Rage (and of course tackle) Magikarp.. wanna say it was Jrose during his month of Jrose
@@adventureoflinkmk2 why would you say something that can be checked so easily? Jrose did not attempt this run… confirming this took 30 seconds
@@thomashartka2926 my guy, chill. I remember that run as well but I also forgot who did it.
Gen 1 carts don't die as quickly as Gen 2. My husband and I have quite a few (mine, his, his cousin's, and even one we picked up in Japan) and all of them (6 or so in total) still hold their saves. His cousin actually had a Toys R Us event Mew on it that must have been from 1999 or so.
However, if you wanna be super safe, you want to transfer the Pokemon to a Stadium game. I forget the details why but there's some reason that n64 cartridge saves are almost impossible to be lost.
Gen 2 has the internal battery because of the clock and days, thus it runs out iirc after like 15 years. Since there's no need to keep track of stuff like that in gen 1, it keeps saves for way longer.
Next video:
"Magikarp beats Ho-oh and Lugias time".
For April fools, hacking it like FlygonHG did :).
I remember my cousin telling me, when I was in like second grade, that some pokemon learn moves earlier or get moves they can't get in there evolved for if they don't evolve. So in yellow, I leveled up a magikarp to like 40 or 50 with such training. I thought since it didn't learn a move by that point, maybe magikarp was going to learn a crazy good move. The days before the internet were weird lol
The early days of the internet and schoolyard rumors where the existence of missingno and mew made every insane thing your friend tells you could be true.
That is true for the Stone evolutions and I think there are some edge cases elsewhere... I can't entirely recall. I am glad that Gen 6 onwards gave a use to having unevolved Pokemon, as they level up faster, if they were supposed to have evolved by then.
@@HighPriestFuneral The Eeveelutions were the only exceptions to Stone evolutions not having learnsets in Gen 1. Also, Gen 5 kind of gave a use for unevolved Pokemon with the introduction of Eviolite which is useful if you get it before your starter or main Pokemon become fully evolved.
I'm so sorry
@@HighPriestFuneralfor example, Mudkip can't learn Hydro Pump unless you level it up really high before evolving. Weedil and Caterpie learn an awesome bug type move only if you don't evolve at 7. (Maybe in 3rd gen? Not in gen 1.)
Most pokemon learn moves faster if they don't evolve. So you can get the top moves earlier, if you don't want the stat boosts from evolving.
Would love to see you use a Magikarp with Dragon Rage, Splash, Bubble and Tackle. Compare the results with this “optimized” move set.
Gym Leader Matt did that one
fun fact the guy who sold james the magikarp also tried to sell james a weepinbell at the end of the johto arc, james got outvoted by jesse and meowth to trade his *victreebell* for *weepinbell* except his weepinbell also hated him, did nothing, evolved into victrebell, james gave it the greatest boot ever, and then it fell in love with the original victreebell and was never seen again. all in one episode. I miss the OG anime days
I had no idea this was a thing 😂😂
James' og Victreebell actually liked him. The biting him every time he came out the pokeball was it's way of showing affection towards James
All I know is that magikarp card that was given out is worth a lot of money now.
I bet!
Just looked it up. A PSA 10 is worth roughly 65 thousand dollars.
This was painful to watch. But not as painful as you suffering this play through. Here’s your medal sir. 🥇Thank you for your services.
You’re welcome!
Hey Scott. ❤ thank you for the entertainment. Was down sick this week.
You’re welcome!
Hi Dennis!

Hi Dennis!
Cooltrainer Dennis!
Obedience School Magikarp
I like the idea of these 'cloned event pokemon' and seeing how they do also.
Hey, slowest time is also a type of record.. Right?
University Magikarp has officially stolen my heart! Whether it be rebellious or studious I think it's earned it's degree in Advanced Struggle with a Minor in Dragon Rage and spot as valedictorian of all Gen 1 Magikarp!
45:30 I did my calculations, the odds of that happening are 50/50, either it happens or it doesn't. I will take no questions, thank you for your time
Should try Scarlet/Violet with Flying Pika. Pikachu can learn surf via tm in SB btw. Would be pretty fun. Thunderbolt, Surf, Dig and Fly with the flying terra type.
Well, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, an education can get you very far. I’m going to finish college so I can learn Dragon Rage, just like Magikarp!
Magikarp will set the record 😉
Abra must be quivering 🤣🤣
Maybe to Brock
He sure did
Some say that Scott and the Disobedient University Magikarp are still training in Diglett's Cave to this very day.
What a run.The first attempt was very disheartening. The only way past Erika would be a perfect sequence of events, and who knows how long it would take to get it, let alone if it's even possible.
Nice that you were able to get as far as you could in the second run, before you had to resort to items. Also, who knew that Paralysis from Agatha would be much more helpful during the final battle?
I really didn't think the paralysis would help, but it was a happy surprise :)
ive really enjoyed the evolution of the overlay. it's really nice and presents all the information in a good way.
After seeing numerous people in Jroses comment section say how they felt like he was a superior content creator, I'm here to say this... Why does anyone have to be "better"? You're both obviously different people with different styles, personalities, etc. Which means that even if you uploaded the exact same pokemon video it would be vastly different which also means more content to watch!
They call him fat? I've never even seen a picture of the guy.
And if either of them is successful, then the RUclips algorithm will push more pokemon challenge videos making everyone more successful
I just hope that the community is happy there is more content! We all succeed together!
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon I wholeheartedly agree bud!
10:11 If I remember correctly, blacking out in the wild Pokemon battle in this situation causes the game to instantly put you in another, glitched wild encounter when you reenter the area. This is most famously used in front of the mandatory Bug Catcher in Viridian Forest to acquire a level 1 Nidoking that, upon leveling up, jumps straight to level 100.
It's just another way to do the Trainer-Fly/Mew glitch.
It’s pretty neat that there is a “casual way” to do the Mew glitch
I always thought the obedience thresholds were really generous. They're obviously there to nerf any high level pokemon you get. It makes sense that a lv15 pokemon you get at the start of the game shouldn't be consistent, but man you get no obedience for the hardest parts of the game
It really was a genius idea to make sure you couldn't trade your friend's Level 85 Mewtwo and expect to crush the game. I mean... you will... but it will be a lot more annoying and less fun than one may think since they will be ignoring you in most cases.
The rival's reaction at 1:25:13 perfectly sums up this entire run.
Haven't watched the full video but I feel like using splash at the beginning of the game is more optimal given how frequently it disobeys and uses the wrong move. If you only have two moves it's always going to use the other one. I could be wrong though!
Good point. Given how disobedience works, he basically had 40 pp of Dragon Rage.
This run is WILD haha. Plus, there is a bubble magikarp from Gotta Catch 'Em All Station! January 24 to 30, 2003 - meaning that it might be more possible given STAB and you an also learn tackle (you get it at level 5)
I just love the Idea, that in this timeline, every trainer could walk up to any other trainer and talk about that one time when one lunatic beat them up with his weird dragonrage Magikarp and then proceeded to defeated Lance and the Champ with it while it was paralyzed.
You ABSOLUTE mad lad, this is beyond insane
32:48 Dude! I felt so bad for poor Magikarp. It did nothing wrong, except splash about wanting to live its best life. That episode turned me into a die-hard Magikarp fanboy. It became my all-time favorite Pokémon, well before the memes and ironic love the little fish gets these days. To this day, Magikarp always has a permanent place on my team.
Do you let it evolve?
@@ScottsThoughtsPokemon nope.
I listen to this at work and I appreciate when you mention to look at the screen when something interesting happens.
PokéMasochist Scott sent out Rage Against the Magikarp!
Rage against the Magikarp fell asleep!
PokéMasochist Scott became confused!
This run will be Hell
Your overlay is so convenient. I just recently discovered your channel and I think this is what really puts your content above other Pokemon RUclipsrs. The Power for the Moves astonishes me the most.
I hope you found a way to read this data out the emulator so you do not edit this piece by piece into the video. If you do, you're a maniac.
Anyway, great content. Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.
Much Love from Germany 🇩🇪😀
I'm pretty sure he has said that it is autogenerated he doesn't have to do any of it manually
Yup, his software looks directly at the game’s memory and pulls the relevant data. It’s why you can see things like the badge boost glitch happening in stages (i.e. opponent uses tail whip, defense drops, badge boost triggers)
Yup, it don’t automatically. You can watch one of my more recent streams to see it in action.
Man, I knew x items were busted in gen 1, but actually seeing the numbers and final results are something else.
Yeah. Seeing the numbers is sort of mind boggling.
Haven't watched this, but I'm gonna guess this run is going to end at Agatha when you run out of Dragon Rage PP
That’s what I thought!
Instead, the problem was actually around the same area except the limit was Erika as opposed to the trainer. That literally means University Magikarp is not any better save for being able to hit ghosts
@@iantaakalla8180 Where would you say a standard Magikarp is better?
I guess in being able to beat Erika? I don’t see that as a meaningful difference; both Magikarp are stuck at the same place.
If Scott and Magikarp win this run despite all the disobedience, Oak's speech about having love for your pokemon after the rival fight will hit so hard
I love that this was basically a disobedient vs obedient Dragon Rage run
What if you made the ‘impossible’ tier pokemon a team? Like see if it’s possible to beat the game with a team of caterpie, metapod and magikarp? (Or just two of them)
We must imagine Scott happy, I think.
What an absolute nightmare of a run. I think this Magikarp was more likely to be a college dropout than a graduate. But it was fun watching the misery and the (eventual) (sorta) Magikarp win.
University Magikarp looked so cute. I don't dislike Magikarp because it is interesing itself. I like seeing it do fine in a challenge. I never heard of that event before. The emoting Magikarp in the beginning was cute too.
Sarina's art is awesome!
The chance for two trainer IDs to randomly match 1 in 65,535
Thanks, random citizen.
I've never been so invested in the success of a Magikarp before
Most likely it won't happen again but just to add my grain of sand:
If you need money like in this run, you can catch 2 o 3 Meowth and make then learn Pay Day and only use that attack, the longer the fight higher the money you collect so rock type are good opponents for that.
Or just use GameShark to get the money.
i am over the moon for this; i love to see more event moves pokemon be used more in challenge runs. other then this karp; i do think you should add "event" to the title to make sure people know the moveset isn't normal but thats up to you.
I'm glad you tried to dig off of the S.S. Anne. However, I question how digging out of a boat would fair.

Thanks so much
Hi Scott, I'm not sure if you'll see this comment (apologies if anyone else posted it or if it's in the video! I wanted to get it out before I forgot) but I believe the OT of the Magikarp is "Tamamushi" (aka Celadon City) and they have a trainer ID incremented from 00001 through 00020 (so they all have different Trainers named Tamamushi). This is based on my memory so it may be untrue since I researched this a long time ago. As you said none of these exist legitimately anymore and I doubt people would remember such specific details especially since they were likely children at the time as it was published in a magazine aimed at primary schoolers.
I'm assuming Bulbapedia doesn't have this info because there's no paper evidence, unlike other rare Pokémon like event Mews etc where they displayed the summary of the Pokémon (Magikarp only had the moves displayed)
Scott you're actually insane haha! I can't believe the level of commitment you have for these videos. 18 hours on a single magikarp run 😅 and I was enthralled the whole time! I like when you give information on the event Pokémon because knowing about the university magikarp was a little bit of fun trivia I never knew before.
Shame magikarp can't beat the game normally though as it'd have been hype if it could only learn tackle haha!
Have a great Christmas Scott and look forward to your videos in the new year!
Thanks for the comment Colin. It makes me happy that the video kept you enthralled.
You may have been able to defeat Sabrina, with the abra lines poor base hp, only having 3 pokemon and psychic attacks being neutral damage, I don't know if this would apply the level 70 obedience or not. Also could have just spammed splash and hoped it would use dragon rage instead, which wouldn't use any dragon rage pp. I'm not the one who spent 10 hours on a playthrough though so I could be wrong, great video!
I would love to see you compare this run with the Gen 2 event Magikarp that can learn bubble.
This might be close enough
ruclips.net/video/YxDIXhKjBrM/видео.html
I'll do it
Would you have a higher shot at using Dragon Rage through Disobedience once your level starts to get up there? Not that it'd be liable to help all that much, the retrain without Disobedience proved that this was kind of hopeless from the start. A rerun with Tackle and without Splash could also be interesting, simulating the use of the Gym Leader Castle from Stadium 2 that the other comment mentioned and Move Deleter from G/S/C.
Speaking of obedience, in Scarlet and Violet it seems like if you catch a Pokemon that's beyond the level cap yourself, you'll have obedience issues until you have enough badges.
Dunno if you experienced this in your game or not, but it's something I noticed with getting to Casseroya Lake before finishing the gyms.
Yeah I’ve encountered that too. Considering the open-world nature of the game I think it’s a logical change - wouldn’t it “suck” to just randomly Fast Ball a Pokémon and steamroll the game with it? (Exact meaning of suck may vary by individual, from a game design viewpoint that is certainly not a good outcome)
A neat change! But if you level up a Pokemon to the same threshold it will have no issues?
@@HighPriestFuneral if it works like it does in PLA it's based on what level you get the Pokemon at
I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but in ever generation of pokemon games. Trade pokemon all gain extra ex points. That's why it keeps saying "Rage gained a BOOSTED (xxx) EXP. Points."
Man... Disobedience was brutal in Gen 1...
It's still brutal. I tried to train a Gengar in Violet, and it was useless for half the run. If I'd been more direct about the route I may have had less issue, but I wanted to explore the game a bit, not just rush the gyms.
1:37:39 "Darn MAGIKARP!" I can't imagine many people have seen that before.
As of 25 minutes in, I think I know where this run ends. With 16 PP on Dragon Rage, even if Magikarp survives long enough to use all of its Dragon Rages, I don't think it can get past Agatha. 40*16 = 640, and I'm pretty sure Agatha's pokemon have a total of more HP than that. But maybe there's something I'm missing.
This was my initial assumption
44:55
While I'm not done with the video yet I wanna say that I'm disappointed that you didn't go a different direction. You said at the beginning that you were fighting all trainers and a bunch of wild Pokemon because you need all the exp you can get. Then you explain why gaining stats Is mostly a minuscule gain. Then later you show that the higher level you are the more likely Pokemon are to disobey.
With all this I would've like to have seen you start over while trying a minimalistic approach. Doing everything you can to stay under the obedience threshold. Or at least go back and fight all mandatory battles at the highest level while remaining obedient.
I just watched this on Patreon and I really enjoyed it! I wonder if it'll be possible to beat Pokemon yellow with the event bubble magikarp?
Good question!
Another disobedience plus (not that magikarp can use it) is that it always goes on the SELECTED move's priority, which means that it passes to the new move, possibly providing a nice boost.
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a Magikarp that listened to REM (more specifically Another Brick in the Wall (my second favorite song by them)) and learned Dragon Rage. Edgy as hell lol.
I'm glad Ash is leaving the anime. If they aren't going to age him up even a little, screw it. While realistically he's liek 25, i'd befine if they just said he's 12 or 13.
Also, I wondered if maybe a team of magikarp could beat the game (with one including your dragon rage magikarp just for ghosts).Or if that'd work with a combo of weedle, kakuna, caterpie, and metapods. It'd probably take forever to level, but maybe it'd work? Even if you have to item spam~
Also also, vending machine came in handy, woo!
I saw in your 40k jirachi video that you wanted to work out a spreadsheet to easily compare past runs since they are in different files. I know that you're a busy man, so if you want, you can send the files and I could work out an easy way of comparing and entering new and old data ind different ways? Let me know. Completely free of course
Awesome run, though I’m only half way through. It seems that maybe the best option would be to trade to other games:
GSC and use the move deleter to remove splash. So you can either Dragon rage or struggle.
Pokémon Stadium 2: if you can grind up a team to beat the game there was a move reminder. But I remember the game being insanely hard
I’m not sure if this is against the rules: grinding levels in GSC after you have all the badges for obedience just to speed things up for you
I love in the anime Surges Raichu has 5 moves, body slam, takedown, thunderbolt, mega punch and kick. It also uses tail whip without being told to
This was amazingly entertaining. F*ck the no items rule. All drugged up Magikarp beating the elite four and champion was amazing!
if the odds of a pokemon disobeys increases the higher the gap between Badge Cap x Poke Lvl, isn't it better to use Splash instead meaning it has a higher chance to use Dragon Rage?
I have deleted my original comment for its ignorance to the severity of the challenge. So this is for the algorithm. Good video. Magikarp Number 1!
*Looks at video length*, Oh god, this was even much worse than I thought, if only Magikarp could learn hypnosis it would be a lot easier
I guess ash couldn't pull off being 10 for 26 years... he had a good run, 25 years of being 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days of age.
keeping ash and pikachu thru so many iterations of the show was a big mistake and it might just be too late to change that.
a new region should be new trainers and characters, rehashing the same ones over and over is just lazy writing.
First: amazing dedication
Second: amazing "Never Give Up"
Third: I truly am shocked at that outcome!
I never knew how much I did not know about this game. Course... even over the course of my entire life, I have not played it as many times as you have despite growing up with it as one of my favorite games.
To have the same trainer’s ID as a event in GEN1 is 1/65536
Trainer can have a id from 00000 to 65535 (max unsigned integer in a 16-bits) and a left over from having Pokémon game being custom for each play through
Haven't watched yet but I'm guessing there will be a lot of trips to viridian forest to exhaust pp from splash
In Gen I, there are 65535 possible trainer IDs, which is 1/8 of shiny odds in Gen II-V. Starters have a 1/8 chance to be female, so the chance of getting the University Magikarp's trainer ID are the same as getting a full odds female shiny starter (from prior to Gen VI).
There's a move reminder in Gen 2 via Pokémon Stadium 2, but it requires work to get to it. But there is an option if anyone ever wants to learn an earlier move
If were opening ourselves up to event Pokemon does that mean we'll see Reveral Magikarp in Pokemon Crystal or Growth Eevee in Pokemon Yellow at some point. Albeit that last option would just allow Eevee to badge boost since it doesn't learn any special moves via level up or TM. Albeit it can still hurt ghosts by using Bide of all things.
Though the more obvious answer for dealing with the ghosts would be to use Mimic to copy a move.
Those two are possibilities!
No way magikarp got into university off of his grades, they just wanted him for the swimming team
Would have been a good idea to train in diglet cave
Edit: nvm you figured it out!

- look at me, I'm the champion now.
“Oh, is there some GSC event that gives it Water Gun or something? Ooh, Dragon Rage, that ought to… where’s Tackle?”
Interesting tidbit I learned during a recent game of Yellow; dig and teleport sometimes have different areas that one can use while the other can't, so it may be beneficial to have both a diglett and an abra with you. I only mention this because you say you couln't dig out of some spaces but didn't say you tried teleport, too.
There’s a magikarp that was able to have bubble from an event in NYC in the gen 2 games. You would technically be able to transfer that back to gen 1 and in theory have a magikarp with tackle and bubble. I wonder if that would be able to complete the game without items.
Bubble Magikarp could have probably knocked out the rhydon
Heya! Here after being away for a while (I generally tend to not watch longer videos unless I'm doing something else or it's really wild content), and I love all the new trainer portraits that popped up. Ever since the Wrapping Lass got her own, I've been looking forward to seeing if any other noteworthy trainers get them and I'm really happy when I do. I also really love your battle transitions. Going from the sign that you entered a battle to after it is something I've only seen once before (in a Lost Odyssey LP, of all things), and it's genuinely the best way I can think of to handle unimportant encounters.
I'm happy you're getting so big as a channel, and I hope things are going great for you and your fiance!
Great to be able to compare magikarp difficulties from jrose, gym leader Matt, and now you

People should watch Jrose11's video & Gym Leader Matt's video!
According to Google trainer IDs can be between 0 and 65535, so the odds should be 1 in 65536, or 0.00001525878% so honestly it wouldn't be all that impossible, but still awful, if it took a minute to get to a point to do a cycle of checking your ID, it'd take you over 10 years straight(assuming it was done continuously 24/7) to be at odds of getting it, it'd be doable in someone's lifetime if they were to do it manually most likely
Roughly 12 1/3 years to be more exact(12.37 after rounding)
I hope you didn’t get karpal tunnel pressing A through this play through
Rage: I can't do this, Scott.
Scott: I know. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But here we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Rage; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Scott, cont: Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Rage, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something.
Rage: What are we holding on to, Scott?
Scott: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Rage. And it's worth fighting for.
The perfect comment!
Thank you for the last thing you said in the video. Also I don't watch it in the background. I appreciate your layout and looking even at the stat increases. That must be a lot of work. Great content. Also, finally a video with the fish that could, that actually managed to do it somehow. Love your channel. I don't wanna torture you but one day we'd like to see a magikarp with tackle, bubble, dragon rage and no splash take on the challenge, if it's possible to customize. Thanks for the content 🙌🏻
I want to use the Bubble magikarp in the future! Maybe a year or two from now though.
