Magikarp Jump Launches WORLDWIDE! Hints & Tips Inside

The free-to-pay title Magikarp Jump can now be downloaded in North America and other regions on iTunes and Google Play! The official site has been updated with a page about the game and a trailer has also been released in English.

Joe Merrick, owner of Serebii.net, shared his thoughts about how to progress the fastest after playing for a week:

  1. Power up the food over Training. Food is a quicker way of getting JP.
  2. Don’t spend Diamonds on Coin Sacks. It can be tempting, but the coin value you get increases as you level up.
  3. Decoration effects will still be active even if not on display. Get the Whimsicott Cushion first, then Shaymin Planter for their boosts

Good luck training your Magikarp everyone!

  2. Finally actually enjoying watching SU. I started after the Zoo episodes and since I haven’t seen any since it’s been quite enjoyable. That’s the major problem I’ve been having. I’ve seen bits and pieces (and full episodes) of the show in the past so I never knew when to really pick it up. Going forward will be much easier for now I think lol

  3. So the next test Punch is in about an hour right? I’m kind of excited play again. I think the only thing I don’t like about these scheduled demos is that it feels like I need to play the entire hour or I’ll be missing out. I kind of wish they had just released a regular demo with some limited online play so that I could play at leisure lol

  4. Ok I’m a 23 year old adult male….I’ve never in my life felt like I’ve needed this question answered as typically it’s pretty self explanatory once you get old enough, but……….How in the world was Steven Universe able to be birthed………? I’ve never been confused by this subject yet this somehow escapes me me lol

    • Hold the left stick in a direction as you select the character. It’s kinda a bad system because it might move the move the choice thingy, but that’s how it works.

  8. I feel like this is a good time to address SM’s story, since I referenced it in the post below. I feel like the story wasted the potential it was given. It didn’t go in depth on the actual UBs that much, it had a lackluster climax, remeber Type: Null? The story didn’t, not really. It was given this great potential and was hyped up really well, and then turned out to be a pretty safe story by Pokemon standards, with the exception of some well-written characters. Believe me, I wasn’t expecting an arceus totem battle like Lockstin proposed, my hopes weren’t that high, but I at least expected it to use the elements it was given. I feel like they crammed a bunch of interesting stuff in there without actually fleshing any of it out. For example, the Tapu Koko and UB02 cutscene. I thought we would have to assemble to UBs or help them fight the UBs, but none of them other than Nihilego were even in the story. It’s like that cutscene was made just to be used as a trailer, it had no point.

    I feel like I’m rambling on at this point. It wasn’t bad by Pokemon standards, but the build up to the release made me expect more. :/

    • Yeah, the whole UB thing ended up being a poor attempt at filling the already poor postgame when I was expecting much more.

      But atleast I’m glad that they didn’t disappoint in Lillie, she ended up being a great character 😀

      Reply
      • But she was the only good part about the story. Aether foundation’s motives ended up being stupid, team skull was alright I guess, even the UB stuff in the story wasn’t explored, type: null wasn’t explored, etc.
        It’s like they crammed in stuff just for the sake of having it in there.

        • Tbh Æther foundation didn’t feel like they had a planned motive at all, is like they made it up on the spot

  9. My first reaction: Arms is AMAZING…but it requires some effort to get the hang of it. I felt like I learned quite a bit in the hour I had to play. I can definitely say that my mains out of the 7 chosen are Ninjara and Mechanica.

    • I like Minmin and Ribbongirl, but I hate Master Mummy (to fight against, he’s such a pain). Have you tried the pro controller? The motion controls are fun, but the pro controller just gives me much more, for lack of a better word, control.

      Reply
      • No, I stuck with motion controls the whole time. Next weekend I’ll start with the Pro Controller for some variety. I have to say, I felt pretty bad about my skills for a while, but beating the party leader twice in a row was great. I’m going to be so addicted to this…

  10. Whelp I think I’m a little burned out on Arms for now. I prolly won’t have time to play next weekend and I think that’s ok. I actually really like the game a lot despite it’s major camera flaws, but having to play on a set time schedule is kind of messing with me. I’d rather play at my leisure and not have to think about how if I don’t play now I wont’ be able to play later. Either way I think it’ll be a lot of fun to play with my friends and family and am looking forward to it’s release. I think for now tho I’m good to go another couple of weeks without. When I finally get it I won’t go a moment without muh main man Ninjara. He’s the greatest lol

  11. i’m starting to like Arms less and less
    -ALL THE FREAKING GRABS, everyone is so freaking grabby and the movement issues is horrid, especially on MM,
    -the camera sucks ass, and every punch turns into a curve trying to compensate
    – 3ways are rapey, its a contest to who grabs who first and who hides, a few others are picking up on the sit in the corner while the other two wear themselves down trick
    – I hope there’s a way to choose colors
