Pokémon Gold: "An underpowered, pathetic POKéMON. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet."
Pokémon Silver: "For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it mid-jump."
Pokémon Crystal: "This weak and pathetic POKéMON gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents."
Pokémon Ruby: "MAGIKARP is a pathetic excuse for a POKéMON that is only capable of flopping and splashing. This behavior prompted scientists to undertake research into it."
