In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500. He does not offer a refund.

The Magikarp salesman is briefly mentioned in both {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, though he does not make an appearance. In the Pokémon Mart in Pewter City (which is adjacent to Route 4), a boy will offer to show his Gyarados to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to a girl nearby will cause her to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained until it evolved into a Gyarados.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, and {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]], and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{tt|*|Black 2 and White 2}}, thus, he is not selling a Pokémon that can be considered worthless in that game.

*The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] production team, as after [[The Pokémon Company International|Pokémon USA]] took over the dubbing, his Hispanic accent returned in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]''.
