3rd Gen My Magikarp only run

[Ninja Caterpie]

I was thinking - and I finally thought of a really, reallly, ridiculously weak Pokemon to pick.

One Magikarp. One really stupid trainer. That's what this is all about.

Just so I can actually pass Phoebe, I'm going to hack to give Magikarp a DP only Bounce. :P.
And it's the same Magikarp, too. I'm not making a new, awesome one with perfect IVs and nature, nope. Just hack to start with Karp and have it with Tackle at level 5. :P

I'll just post my progress here, as this is a really, really, ridiculously stupid thing to do. You can join me if you like. :P

 

[shinyursaring]

No HMs, no TMs. You sir, are screwed.

 

[RedJ]

Well, until it reaches level 20 and evolves, you my friend...well-

You sir, are screwed.

there ya go xD I wish you the best of luck! *salutes*

 

[Tyranitar042]

its a magikarp only run no evolving keywords magikarp only run this will NEED to be lv 100 which is crazy!!!

 

[RedJ]

its a magikarp only run no evolving keywords magikarp only run this will NEED to be lv 100 which is crazy!!!

well, either way, I still say-

You sir, are screwed.

:)
Well...again, good luck!

 

[Dratii]

Well I will join you, but I'll do it on Emerald

 

[Dominus_Draconis]

I'd say, hard as this will be, from experience, I'd say weedle would probably be even harder, but, same principle

Oh, and, of course, good luck on your run

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Well I will join you, but I'll do it on Emerald

Aren't I doing it on the same thing?

Oh, and y'all, Bounce is strong enough. xP

I'd say, hard as this will be, from experience, I'd say weedle would probably be even harder, but, same principle

Oh, and, of course, good luck on your run

Weedle can at least legitimately beat the game...And it has a higher attack than Karp. :P

Oh, and I'm being a cheapo and jacking Magikarp's attack to 40. :P

...Then I remember I gave my rival Magikarp too. x.x

Oh darn. I think I might need a level 30 Magikarp just to beat Roxanne. And Wattson's gonna murder me. Now I'm starting to think I should have started on FR. x.x

EDIT for probably, what, the fifth time?:
Update.
I beat some nub.

Look who hacked the game with A-Starter!

This is what I meant by "jacked up stats".

Can't possiblty do it otherwise.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

I made it easier to Level up Magikarp and changed the attack to 40

​

I did too! What Total EXP? I put 800 000 Cheap, I kow.

I made Magikarp not evolve into Gyarados. :P

 

[Andrew1989]

I'm gonna find it real hilarious on how you are going to defeat the Elite Four with just a Magikarp :0.

Should you manage to complete your challange.... then you my friend, are considered 'Godly' in my eyes as this will be one insane challange that I haven't seen someone possibly try :).

Good luck with it :D

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

The answer to "how" is "hacks".
I have to hack to give Magikarp Bounce, a legit Move Tutor move in Platinum nonetheless.
Oh, and I'm being cheap and raising Magikarp's attack slightly. It only gives it the attack power of a Swablu. And I don't even know the IVs. :P

When I'm done, however, I will post the epic win screenshot of my total and utter pwnage Hall Of Fame record with a single Magikarp. :P

 

[CombatArmsWarrior]

Wow, a magikarp only without evolving...that's gotta be hard, but then again, It would be funny if u di beat the elite 4 with a magikarp. lol.

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Dun worry, the strongest member of the Emerald version elite four is...uhm...level...ah...What level is it again? 60, I think. All I need is a PP max to take everything down with bounce. xDDDD I'm right now EV training it in Atk and Spd. In a Magikarp run, every point counts.
...
Maybe I need some HP EVs instead...

Yes, I would like to see this pulled off to, though without hacking...though I can understand why you would changed the stats xD
Either way, its still gonna be funny to see the Elite Four get pwned by a Magaikarp...you should totally get hypercam and put it on Youtube...well, if your using a ROM, and I assume you are if your hacking it unless you dumped it and put the data back on your game (is that even possible? O_O)

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Yeah, I'm using a rom. Otherwise, the screenshots wouldn't be as precise and clear.

Hmm...

Alright, I'll make some limits to how we can hack it.

Rules
Each of Magikarp's base stats (apart from speed) may not exceed 40.
Magikarp may only be hacked to learn the following moves:

Splash
Tackle
Bounce
Flail
Humdiddlydoodah. I'm really wanting to put "Bubble" here too, but that's not a legitimate move. If there was a bubble move tutor, however...x.x

Will you guys think of it as less impressive if Magikarp got Bubble?

Though I can see whay you would do that, it just wouldnt be as...epic. So unless the need arises and you absolutly have to do it to get past a certain point...yeah. But also, how do you plan on using the HMs with just a Magikarp? You're gonna need to use all of them sometime, so how are you going to go about that?

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Get HM Slaves.
:P
Ninjask for Cut and Flash.
Makuhita for Strength, Rock Smash (and surf).
Tentacool for Surf and waterfall
Tropius for Fly.

I'll deposit them before the elite four for that epic win.

 

[RedJ]

Good^^ Looking forward to seeing Metagross, Salamence, and others getting pwned by a Magikarp^^

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Metagross? Since when?!
It'll just be Salamence and Wailord and Mightyena and other doods

 

[RedJ]
