Life of a Magikarp | Pokearth

The second episode of Pokearth! It’s that time of year again when Magikarp make their annual trek upstream to evolve and lay their eggs. However, leaping past hungry bears is no easy feat.

Fun Fact: These Magikarp actually play an important role in Ursaring's seasonal hunting patterns. The reason you never see any Ursaring near waterfalls or mountain rivers later in the year is not only because Magikarp are no longer migrating upstream, but Gyarados are actually migrating _downstream_ to make it back to the ocean. The energy expenditure of fighting a Gyarados just isn't worth the possibility of finding other fish in the same area.

I love how lazy the Ursaring act whenever a Magikarp jumps at them, like “Yeah?…Aww.” every time they get close.

The Ursarings are so casual. "Meh, I'll catch the next one."

[nomisunrider]

I was distracted by the beautiful animation so "world's most pathetic Pokemon" hit me like a truck.

[Alcapwn]

"Upon evolution, the now mighty Gyrados make their back down-stream... to settle the score."

[HeadInTheClouds]

1:47 "The fish leap into the air to see where the bears are." Jumps right in front of the bear's face.

In a continuously dead and synthetic internet, I really appreciate the decision to go forward with real human voice-over narration for these episodes! Amazing work

[BlueMustacheCat]

It’s all fun and games for the predators until a Magikarp reaches level 20

[PhoeniksStorm]

03:20 " 'Go to Johto' they said 'it'll be fun' they said"

[superspider]

I like the respect you gave the magikarp here, because yeah while their skills are lacking in terms of actual combat, for the survival of their species it's actually really good

[duraeusentenu]

What's really great about this is they don't need to show blood and gore to still make it entertaining. Palworld is great in its own way, but the excessiive violence and gore was never needed. This is fun and friendly.

[garrettbell]

the return of god tier animation AND a real person doing the voice over this time? we're reaching levels of peak not seen in generations

[kathleenmorrison]

I used to live by the Magikarp Hatchery and Ladder in Issaquah, WA. Good times. Magikarp Days to celebrate the beginning of spawning season, and of course the significance of the fish to the local tribes and the Wailmer population.

I love how this explores how pokemon get their abilities and why. They were not made to fight, just to fill their evolutionary niche. We just exploit it.

[mikaroni_and_cheez]

I love the new voice actor. This feels like a cross between an actual nature documentary and a video from The Curious Archive.
10/10

Every Magikarp Jump player knows the terror of Pidgeotto

[FatmaHafiz]

I like that ursaring is just opening they mouth and not trying to catch it

[StOg]

0:45 go to here and there’s a shiny magiccarp it’s so cool

[therubyminecart]

I love that moment in the video where Magikarp hits the Ursaring and its face is just “Huh?! Oh just you.”

[benlochmann]

0:45 ur not slick i saw that shiny magikarp
