Ranking Every Pokémon Mobile Game Worst To Best

7. Pokemon Magikarp Jump

The worst Pokemon game is based on the worst Pokemon, Magikarp, which seems rather fitting.

Magikarp Jump takes place in a town where people only ever catch or use one Pokemon - you can guess which - and they compete to see how high their Magikarp can jump. Gameplay consists of clicking on food to tell your fish to eat it and... well, that's just about it. There's no real gameplay.

The point of the game is to train your Pokemon to jump as high as it can and beat various leagues, but all you do to train or battle is watch cutscenes of your Pokemon doing the work themselves. There's nothing for the player to do save decorate their pond, tell the Magikarp to eat food in it, and sometimes try to catch a Magikarp that looks minimally different.

The game was released to little fanfare, which isn't surprising given that there's nothing interesting that could be put in a trailer, and the image the title evokes, of a Flappy Bird-like reaction game, is far more interesting than the glorified Tamagotchi we got.
