<\/p>\n

Nearly two decades after the release of the original Pok\u00e9mon Red and Blue in the U.S., the Pok\u00e9mon company has come out with another true masterpiece.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called Magikarp Jump, which came out for iOS and Android earlier today. It\u2019s about training Magikarp, the most beloved Pok\u00e9mon in the universe, to jump as hard as it can and squash the hopes and dreams of its opponents. But Magikarp Jump can be a complicated beast to master, so here are some tips to get started:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Choose your pole carefully and be patient when fishing<\/h2>\n

Waiting for the best Magikarp is the first step to becoming a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Name it something original<\/h2>\n

Your Magikarp will eventually have a mid-life existential crisis. Make sure to nurture its individuality if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Accept nuggets from strangers<\/h2>\n

Your Magikarp needs those nuggets and it can\u2019t Tweet. Give your Magikarp the gift of nuggets if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Skip the commentary<\/h2>\n

Your Magikarp doesn\u2019t want to listen to the same announcer over and over, it wants to be a winner. Take your Magikarp straight to the ring if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Demand a play review<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no harm in asking officials to review the jump. You\u2019ll need to learn the best strategies as a coach if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Spend your coins on upgrades and stuff<\/h2>\n

You aren\u2019t going to collect interest on those coins. You\u2019ll need to invest in your Magikarp\u2019s future if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Ignore the health risks of drinking soda<\/h2>\n

The Internet wants to make you think that soda is bad. The truth is, your Magikarp loves soda, and you should feed it some if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Be sure to give your Magikarp lots of praise<\/h2>\n

It won\u2019t always max out that jump counter, but if you want to be a Magikarp master you\u2019ll have to treat it with respect.<\/p>\n

Always accept your achievement rewards<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll want to rake in that sweet, sweet cash after all if you want to be a Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Be sure to have your phone out when updating your computer<\/h2>\n

This is a good opportunity to train your Magikarp if you hope to be a Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Always grab the thing<\/h2>\n

No one wants a quitter, Magikarp masters take risks. Throw caution to the wind if you hope to be a Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Teach your Magikarp to respect its elders<\/h2>\n

You wouldn\u2019t be here if it weren\u2019t for the Magikarp you\u2019ve raised over the years. You must ensure that knowledge is passed to future generations if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

Buy\u00a0lots of friends<\/h2>\n

Your Magikarp might get lonely. Buy it some friends with cash like any good coach will do if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Check in with other trainers<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll want to know how your Magikarp is stacking up against other Magikarps. Learn from your peers if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let it do its thing<\/h2>\n

If your Magikarp wants some berries, let it have some berries. You need to trust its judgment if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t have any regrets<\/h2>\n

Fish die all the time. You\u2019ll have to be ready to move on if you want to be a true Magikarp master.<\/p>\n

Good luck, trainer!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
