United States Pokémon Red In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
United States Pokémon Blue In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
Japan Pokémon Stadium あいてが どんなポケモンでも どんなに  おそろしい わざを しかけようとも ただ はねる。
United States Pokémon Stadium Whoever its opponent, and however horrible the attack it receives, all it does is Splash around.
United States Pokémon Yellow Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers, and shallow puddles.
United States Pokémon Gold An underpowered, pathetic Pokemon. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
United States Pokémon Silver For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like Pidgeotto to catch it mid-jump.
United States Pokémon Ruby Magikarp is a pathetic excuse for a Pokemon that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it.
United States Pokémon Sapphire MAGIKARP is virtually useless in battle as it can only splash around. As a result, it is considered to be weak. However, it is actually a very hardy POKeMON that can survive in any body of water no matter how polluted it is.
United States Pokémon Emerald Its swimming muscles are weak, so it is easily washed away by currents. In places where water pools, you can see many MAGIKARP deposited there by the flow.
United States Pokémon LeafGreen In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
United States Pokémon FireRed It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic POKeMON in the world.
