Magikarp Jump: Naranja, Steve IV, and Neko

Made quite a bit of progress today training three Magikarps to max level. Naranja got me through the Heavy League before heading to the Deep.

Next was Steve IV was up sporting a Calico pattern.He managed to get through Great League Battle Number 4.

Last the ironically named  Neko who has a lovely Gold and Orange Calico pattern. She managed to get through Great League Battle Number 5.

That is all for today! More Magikarps tomorrow! 

Magikarp Jump: Steve III

Looks like things are starting to slow down with Magikarp Jump since it is now taking me about a day to raise a Magikarp to full level. I got male and I decided to continue my Steve line with Steve III.Thankfully he managed to make it to Heavy League Battle Number 14 before having to retire. Yay, for not being eaten! 

Magikarp Jump: Fluffy and Amber

Sadly for Fluffy she ended up evolving into a Gyarados when she hit 20 even though I swore she still had an Everstone. Oh well I guess even an Everstone wouldn't stop her from reaching her Gyaradosy glory

Next up for training is yet another girl who is sporting the classic Magikarp look. I decided to name her Amber. She managed to make it all the way through Heavy League Battle Number 13 before she had to head to retirement.

Magikarp Jump: Star, Qwerty, and Fluffy

More progress has been made in Magikarp Jump and Star managed to take me up through Heavy League Number 5 before having to bow out.

Next up was another gal who I named Qwerty. Again sporting an Orange and White Calico Pattern.

While she was training though she ran into a Pidgeotto well hanging out with her friend Pikachu. They sure showed him and I feel we have now gotten some kind of revenge for Steve II.  Yes I am still angry about that.Qwerty was able to get me a bit further and bowed out at Battle 8 in the Heavy League. 

 Again I got another girl Magikarp and I decided to call her Fluffy. 

Summoners War: Second Natural Five Star!

Got my second official Natural Five Start last night from a Mystical Scroll. Hello Lag and I guess my decision on who to Six Star next has been made. 

Magikarp Jump: Steve, Steve II, Ada, and Star

I decided to keep playing Magikarp Run off and on today. I figure I would report back on my progress since I've gone through a few more Magikarp now. It seems this game you will be going through quite a lot of them due to the only way to get higher level Magikarp is to get a new one. Not the standard Pokemon gameplay, but I guess Magikarp retirement doesn't seem that bad especially when you have many of friends to swim with.

Steve ended up growing up into an Orange and White Calico Magikarp. Pretty snazzy if I don't say so myself. Reminds me of koi fish. Steve went on to eventually lose at level 8 of the Quick League and now joins in on stalking of my future fish from the deep.

I went on and caught a new Magikarp. Welcome Steve II, who eventually grew into an Orange, White and Black Calico! 

Sadly for Steve II he was forced into early retirement due to I didn't realize the Out of Nowhere event could lead to your Magikarp getting eaten by a Pidgeotto. RIP Steve II 😢

Like clockwork, I got myself my 4th Magikarp and my first girl, named Ada! 

She was just a standard Magikarp, but I was desperate to avenge Steve II and finally win the Quick League. Which she quickly did...

...and then Promptly retired.

At least now I got my Piplup that was in the screen shots. I didn't even have to fork over any real money for him which is very nice.  He has the nice bonus of giving a free training point.

My next Magikarp was another female, who was a bit underpowered. However, I wanted to give her a chance and named her Star. She is sporting an Orange Dapples pattern, which I think suits her name very well. Hopefully, she can take me most of the way through the Heavy League before needing to retire.

Magikarp Jump: Generation 1

I decided to check out the new Pokemon game that hit the US, Magikarp Jump. I can say it a pretty simple game overall and it appears to have Piplup who is one of my favorite Pokemon. Pro...I mean Mayor Karp...is your guide in this game and the first person you talk to. He is clearly a professor of some kind, but I guess he gave up that to pursue politics? Basically, you're the town of Hoppy which is obsessed with Magikarp. Your goal is to train a Magikarp to be the best jumper. Somehow by you wining leagues brings prestige to the town and will cause the Magikarp in town to cheer up. 

So I set out and caught my first Magikarp and started training him Rocky style. The training is just games where you tap the screen a lot so again pretty basic stuff.

I would also like to note that you will get some random encounters well training and well...the creep factor is growing on Mayor Karp. He keeps wanting to give my Magikarp a massage and I think its best I don't think about that too much.

Once my Magikarp was ready we quickly hopped through the first league.

 However, my Magikarp had hit max level by then and all I could do was leagues until inevitably my Magikarp lost. Once your Magikarp loses it retires. Honestly, for wanting to provide encouragement to future Magikarp this is not the way to do it. What does it say to Magikarp that once you lose your jumping career is over? Why not let me choose to continue training my little Magikarp and letting him learn from losing? I mean I got a little attached to my first Magikarp in the short time I played so I was surprised that I will never be able to use my first Magikarp again. However, this appears to be the only way to get the new patterns.

Hopefully, Steve will not be discouraged by my first Magikarp glaring at him from the deep. He is also sporting a nice spotted pattern.
