Exactly. To win a cookie, you must bake 10 trillion of them. I doubt the people who consistently yell “FIRST!!!” get anything out of it other then a slight satisfaction of having reloaded the page faster.
looks like someone needs a blue shell,,,
also, the official name for blue shell is spiny shell, anyone who says blue shell is a NOOB!
(JK, it doesn’t even look like a spiny shell)
I am ashamed to say that I DIDN’T know that magicarp would get kidnapped.
I did it like five times, always getting the fruit and suddenly my karp got snatched away and I stared at my screen in horror for a minute or so xD
Actually, you need to train 7 times before you can use the retire option. This means waiting at least 1h 30m before you can retire it (if you have a max level piplup available).
Besides, retiring through the option doesn’t count towards the achievement for “forced to retire”, and, even if you don’t like the ‘karp you’ve got, it’s more beneficial to max level it since you don’t get the motivation bonus otherwise.

You mean like the tags with “Magikarp Jump” and “mobile gaming”, or last page where the description said “Game: Magikarp Jump”?
(Sorry if that sounded snarky, but it is a pet peeve of mine to see people asking things that are answered already in obvious places such as the comic itself or the author’s descriptions underneath comic pages)
If you make your magikarp jump over and over again at the top of your aquarium, a pidgeotto will take it mid-jump. It scared the crap out of me when this happened to me. It can only happen one time though :/.
To be fair, the button for that menu doesn’t look like a menu button. Especially when there’s a button for another menu. In my case, I didn’t know you could rename your ‘karp.
Wait a minute! Why are they taking the karp’ if they are in a tree, that is chock fulll with fruit?!?! THE PIDGEOTTS OF THIS GENERATION HAVE NO APPRECIATION FOR WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE!!! DO NOT FEED YOUR POOR KARPS’ TO THOSE GREEDY BIRDS, GC DO NOT ENCOURAGE SUCH BEHAVIOR! THEY HAVE PLENTY OF FRUIT IN THAT TREEEEEE!!!

Follow-up: because I plan to become a master-level carp sacrificer. :D Hoooooo!

It’s called Magikarp Jump and it’s for mobile devices (i.e. iOS/Android).

YOU DID THE RIGHT THING GAMERCAT, IT IS BETTER IF THE PIDGEOTTOS CAN FEED THEMSELVES
Buck
You get achievements for having your Magikarps die enough times, and achievements lead to more diamonds.

Magikarp steaks:
It’s for the birds
Icelender
There is a retire menu for this game??????

Meh. They’re useless anyway. Might as well feed more useful pokemon…

Birds gotta eat yo
AnonymousMagikarp
To be fair, it doesn’t happen all that often.
Not until it snatched and ate up my very 1st Gold Magikarp… ;~;

The Pidgeottos appreciate your sacrifices, GamerCat. When the Gyarados apocalypse approaches, they shall bear you away from devastation.
Anon73
So does anyone remember that Glitch likes fish? He was even a karp for Halloween once. Heck he had a full team of Magikarp when he first met Gamercat.
HamCat
One day they became gyarados.
The next week no one could say what they were doing.
Because.
They had

Wait, there’s a retire option?
Dragoonmon
That is hilarious! Hey do you think you could do one on overwatch?

If you make your magikarp jump over and over again at the top of your aquarium, a pidgeotto will take it mid-jump. It scared the crap out of me when this happened to me. It can only happen one time though :/.
Peridot
Imagine if it suddenly evolved into gyarados mid-jump (not sure if possible, but it would be hilarious)
Ocearen
They can acciently become a magikarp from one of the events.
Ocearen
I meant gyarados! They can accidently become gyarados via an event. (Which forces retirement and you go fishing again)

Nope
Glitch would love this game

HamCat
It’s Anti-Pidgey berries.
Also you can only take two fruits before the tree collapses. Then they wouldn’t have a home.
DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?!
chefcheiro
but actually it didn’t count forcebly retire achievement
Pikakid
more like Magicrap. How useless. Haha.
Lock@Shock@Barrel
Wow. Just, wow
