Pokémon: Magikarp Jump Is Available Now For iOS And Android Devices
The Pokémon Company is continuing its exploration into the world of mobile gaming with a title that's a lot different from Pokémon Go.
Pokémon: Magikarp Jump follows Pokémon Duel, which released in January, and Pokémon Go, which released July of last year. In Pokémon: Magikarp Jump, players train a Magikarp to jump as high as possible. If your Magikarp gets knocked out or retires at level 20, you start with a new Magikarp, each one slightly stronger than the previous. Other Pokémon also appear in the game to help you train.

Our Take
I'm downloading the game right now with low expectations, but who knows! Maybe it will be goofy and entertaining.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
