History YMMV / PokemonMagikarpJump

* AuthorsSavingThrow: As of 1.2, you can skip training regimens and cutscenes, meaning you don't have to go through to see every single scene, especially significant for annoying events like "Many Wise Words", which is long and doesn't give you anything to begin with.

** The opponent Magikarp stop being named in the latter parts of the game, likely mirrowing the player themself getting tired of naming every single one to the point of forgetting to name any noteworthy ones.

* UncannyValley: Pidgeotto is animated much more smoothly than anything else in the game, which adds a layer of unsettling to its already dread-inducing events.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The player character looks slightly unnerved during the "Nugget" event, this is because the Japanese name for the Nugget item (in both this game and the main Pokémon series) is "Kin no tama", literally meaning "Golden ball", but also being slang for testicles. Which means in Japanese the man who gives you his Nugget is basically saying "Hey you. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Here are my testicles.]]" The English localization works around this by having him address you as "Hey you! Um... boy? Girl?", prompting the player character's nervous reaction.

* MostAnnoyingSound: When you get a new Magikarp, any training session or berry in the higher levels (especially 60+) will mean that your Magikarp will level up about 40 or so times. That means that you'll be hearing the level up chime every single time it does it, and there's no way you can skip out of it either. Opening the yellow Poke Balls (that appear every 5 levels) can be an annoyance as well, as you hear the same chime and get very little coins for each of them as well.

* EarWorm: Just ''try'' to evict the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3x3-22Gi3g Magikarp Song]] from your brain once it's lodged itself in there.

* FridgeBrilliance: When a Magikarp accidentally evolves into a Gyarados, why can't you keep it in your pond? One of the reasons could be the [[TheDreaded groups of Wishiwashi (the only thing that can make Gyarados flee in fear) swimming around in the background]].

* JunkRare: Yes, your Magikarp can evolve into Gyarados and you can even possibly fish up a Dratini, but since this is a game all about Magikarp they aren't worth much more than an achievement.

** Surprisingly, the Elite Four League, despite being built up as one of the toughest leagues, is this if you have you were already maxed out from the previous update. Assuming your Magikarp is at Rank 79 (and if you're lucky with cheering), you can stomp through THREE Elite Four members until your Magikarp is forced to retire. However, the last part of the league does need you to level up at least 3 times before beating it, so the entire league isn't a cakewalk.

* BreatherLevel: The Expert League, especially if you're playing it after the Heal League (where you'll probably be throwing generation after generation of Magikarp at), is this. The levels are moderately shorter and the jump levels aren't too high of a gap. Once an update goes through though, you are thrown back to the new league.

* BreatherLevel: The Luxury League is a grueling slog through 20 matches, and takes nearly as many generations to complete. The Expert Leagues that come immediately afterward are only 10-15 matches each, and all three of them combined can be beaten in around the same time as the preceding league.

* FridgeBrilliance: When a magikarp accidentally evolves into a gyarados, why can't you keep it in your pond? One of the reasons could be the [[TheDreaded groups of wishiwashi (the only thing that can make gyrados flee in fear) swimming around in the background]].

* GoodBadBugs: WordOfGod stated that the repeatable 25 diamonds in Expert League 3 (the very last league as of this writing, which can be attempted multiple times even after clearing it) are a result of this. An update was rolled in the end of May 2017, and players are no longer able to take advantage of this.

* PlayerPunch: Even if the game is rather ominous about something bad possibly happening if you tell Magikarp to jump at a tree to get fruit, chances are you're not expecting the punishment to be a Pidgeotto ''flying into the screen and taking your pokémon for lunch''.
