YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

told you it was bad.

Bahaha. Why an 11 year old kid decides to make a video of Pikachu electrocuting a defenceless Magikarp is beyond me, but I love it.

You got it all wrong though. In actual fact Magikarp would have used splash all over that Pikachu making him regret ever coming out of that pokeball!
It wouldn't of had any effect and he still would have been thunderbolted to death... but still..

Sure, why not? I support Magikarp. I picture him playing as a mixture of Sonic and Pika.
Oh, and an obligatory picture in honor of the majestic fish:

 

[Diddy Kong]

Special Moveset:

B: Slash. Press B when hitting the ground to Slash higher.
Up B: Bounce. A renamed Slash where Magikarp leaps into the air.
Down B: Flail. Does extremely high damage when at high %s.
Down B: Tackle. Like, take that *****.

come on man, this was a long time ago!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Considering I couldn't make this even today, I think it's a great job.

My 12 year old brother can hack computers though. Wtf?

 

[Gingerbread Man]

I would like to suggest a title change to
"Pokemon 129: Magikarp -- The Most Wanted Newcomer"

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Mewtwo used Psystrike on the wild Magikarp!
Critical Hit!

The wild Magikarp fainted!

With that statement, I think this joke has gone on long enough.

Edit: I'm giving this thread a second chance. However, Scoliosis Jones, you may want to add more stuff onto the primary post when you have the chance.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

It is reopened!

Let us rejoice fellow fishermen!

 

[Neanderthal]

Thanks alot M&S guy.
It's the sign of a great mod who will listen to appeals and judge them fairly instead of being overly prideful. There are too few of you around!

Scoliosis Jones, it would be good if you could make the first post a little more organised and you can include my moveset if you wish.
It may also be beneficial to the survival of this thread if you make a bold note at the top that this is a serious thread for a joke character (like Pichu). NOT a joke thread.

How can a carp hold items in Super Smash Bros.? Nintendo Logic?

Whaaat? This thread got re-opened? Well, might as well contribute.

Speaking of fishermen, I had this idea before:

Why not a trainer class, eh?

[collapse=Fisher]Fisher (they'll be a male and female alt)

Pokemon rotation (I was tempted to pick only Magikarp, but I want to be somewhat serious with this one) --> Magikarp, Frillish (Male Frillish for fisherman, female for fisherwoman lol), Quagsire

So yeah, the Fisher would be similar to Pokemon Trainer, except he uses water type pokemon. Magikarp would be a joke character but it would be hard to master. Once you do, however, it would be one tricky character to beat. Frillish would be nimble and float since it's part ghost. And Quagsire would be a pretty bulky fighter.[/collapse]

With that, I leave you guys with this gif:

Karp, karp! Magikarp!

 

[Neanderthal]

I think there's actually a very very decent chance we will get a joke character in SSB4.

Sakurai has pretty much exhausted all of the possible non joke WTF character options. So the next logical step for a WTF character would be a joke one, someone in the vein of Karp.
While some may consider it more likely to be a more recent representation, Magikarp would have to be the most popular joke character.

That's why I actually give the chances of this addition credibility.

I'll laugh if Magikarp uses Bubble, Bubblebeam, Water gun and other water moves since it only uses Splash and Tackle. I like the Gyarados idea. Magikarp may seem helpless at first, but as Gyarados, it becomes a megaweapon.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Moves Magikarp can get:

Splash, Tackle, Flail, Bounce, Hydro Pump

How does Magikarp learn Hydro Pump? I never heard of the moves Flail and Bounce because I only played 1st and 2nd generation Pokemon games.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Flail was in generation 2

 

[Diddy Kong]

Who remembers this?

Who remembers this?

I remember Pokemon Stadium when I was in 4th grade. I definitely remember the Magikarp splash. My favorite mini game was Lickitung Sushi game.

 

[Croph]

Well, here's some more Magikarp related gifs. Up to the OP if he wants to include them in the first post.

And I now have the best avatar ever

 

[BluePikmin11]

I think you can get Hydro Pump by Breeding

Final Smash: Evolve into Gyarados, who will then.....

Spoiler

have an angry Magikarp come out of its mouth and stare at everyone, which causes an automatic KO to every opponent on the screen.

 

[Cobalsh]

LET ME LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Even Deadpool enters our thread now. How off-topic are we!?

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I will do some editing when I have the time to do so. I have two research papers to take care of for the end of the semester. Not to mention finals. But once i'm done, I will definitely get to these things.

Damn you college...

[Fire Emblemier]

Can we add a signature and some alt. colors. like one would be him as a golden magikarp and red gyrados

A special level 99 golden Magikarp given away in a Japanese event has it:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w...eration_V#Pok.C3.A9mon_Center_Nagoya_Magikarp

Moves Magikarp can get:

Splash, Tackle, Flail, Bounce, Hydro Pump

I've found there's actually a few more:

Dragon Rage - known by a special event Magikarp in Generation 1
Bubble - known by an event Magikarp in Gen. 2
Reversal - known by an event Magikarp in Gen. 2
Rage - a move one of the TCG Magikarp cards has

You actually have a lot to work with when making a Magikarp moveset!

 

[Dark Phazon]

Yh but like what happens if its Magikarp vs Pikachu and Magikarp wins...would that be more Bull* than the Anime?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Would it help if I mentioned that any Pokemon with the Unaware ability is not affected by any stat changes that Magikarp might have?

^ A must read for all Magikarp fans.

 

[FalKoopa]

For Magikarp fans old and new!
A Magikarp sig just for you!!

 

[Frostwraith]

Look at what I have just made... MAGIKARP COLORS!!!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

B Neutral - Flail
Magikarp wildly flails about in random directions harming anyone who comes into contact with him.

B Up - Bounce
Can be learned by tutoring in the generation 5 games. Magikarp bounces high into the sky damaging anyone who gets in his way.

B Across - Hydro Pump
Is known by a special Japanese event Magikarp. Magikarp shoots a powerful blast of water out of his mouth.

B Down - Splash
Magikarp used Splash. But nothing happened!

Final Smash - Evolution
Magikarp evolved into Gyarados! Magikarp will remain as Gyardos until he's defeated or the match ends.

Stage Entry
Magikarp will be unleashed from a Pokeball by a man holding a 'For Sale 500' sign.

Gyarados's moveset

B Neutral - Hyper Beam
Hold B to charge Gyarados's Hyper Beam and release to fire. Similar to Samus's charge beam attack.

B Up - Waterfall
Same as Squirtle's Waterfall, but more powerful

B Across - Surf
Gyarados will briefly ride across the screen on a huge wave damaging anyone in its path.

B - Down - Twister
Gyarados will summon a twister that'll quickly fly across the screen.

Final Smash - Dragon Dance
Gyarados will perform a bizarre dance and will then briefly become twice as fast and powerful.

I thought of a way to balance that final smash. Gyarados is huge and is ridiculously hard to KO traditionally but has a health meter so you need to be aggressive and close the distance lest the opponent chip damage you to death. Also just to keep the idea of weak to strong, Magikarp's side B should be Tackle.

Nah, Tackle is what all his A attacks would be.
