Circaoffire - Yeah I did feel a little repetitive... but I've PM'd you some ideas and such, let us know what you think.

Critx - You know! But now with the move set I've given this magikarp it will be even more awesome.

NecrumWarrior - Yeeeah, but magikarps a little different, his evolution doesn't suck. - but like ROBO-BOY said, Pokémon Toxic Purple you have a ratatta...

this looks like a nice hack i love Magikarp i always have one in my team and i never give them exp share or dump them into a daycare i put them as lead Pokemon and switch them out so they gain experience and happiness just by being in the battle and not having to actually battle if you need any more beta testers ill be happy to help out :D

The idea is odd and that but yeah, it could work... wouldn't this be an incredibly boring hack to make though?

What an odd but innovative idea. To be honest I am actually looking forward to playing this hack. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Magikarp's stats inherently lower than every other pokemon? If so, even with given moves it would be a total pain in the ass to train it.

DaleH771 - You would think that, but I'm putting in a different storyline and also a lot of easter eggs for people to find, just to spice things up abit.

Tohoma(Newbie) - Thank you, but yes, magikarp was. That's why I decided it would be better if I improved his stats. So the magikarp you start with will be battle ready like a normal starter.

Tryploshion - It's already done, magikarp is battle ready and doesn't die after two battles. And it does aim to please, glad you love it. The beta is due out soon (2 to 3 weeks ish, but won't be a complete beta) so check back then!

Magikarp is ready for battle? Are you out of your mind!? Magikarps need to know only splash at level 5 so trainers catch a Pokemon as soon as possible then have Magikarp set at the top of the party so they're sent out first then switched to another Pokemon to actually fight. We repeat these steps until Magikarp learns enough to actually fight then we use him. That's how I train my Magikarps. Having it ready right away doesn't give as much a useless feel as it should. The more useless a Magikarp feels, the better it feels when it evolves.

The idea for that this entire hack is about appreciating Magikarp...

U_Flame - I understand where you're comming from and that, but if he only new splash you wouldn't be able to beat your rival right at the start... and if you can't do that, you don't get any pokéballs. So you can kinda see why he needed to be battle ready. It will also add more to the story if it's an ancient magikarp and all that.

Then you can change it so the rival battle happens after getting Pokeballs right?

I could yes... But if I did you would have some trouble catching the pokémon when you can't get their health down, you're money would run out faster than anything.

You'd be surprised how easy it is to catch low level Pokemon at full health.

That being said it would be annoying right at the start when you get magikarp. You go straight into battle with him so you'd just be killed instently.

Loving this hack actually, but since it is an aincent magikarp don't u think it needs a different or more epicer look considering the fact it is an aincent magikarp and also it's evolution deserves another look dosen't it, try to make magikarp and Gyrados look different kay?

Uzigunner - Thanks, and I was thinking about that actually, I was wondering if I should use the Magikarp and Gyrados that are in the second banner.
