Unlike in the anime, purchasing a Magikarp from the salesman is not considered a rip-off by most fans, as this grants the player an option to obtain a Magikarp far earlier in the game than would normally be possible, as the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} is not available prior to reaching [[Vermilion City]]. With some normal training and patience, the player can potentially get their Magikarp to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}} as early as prior to reaching [[Cerulean City]], essentially giving the player a late-game {{Appendix|Metagame terminology#Powerhouse|powerhouse}} before reaching even the [[Cerulean Gym|second Gym]]. | Unlike in the anime, purchasing a Magikarp from the salesman is not considered a rip-off by most fans, as this grants the player an option to obtain a Magikarp far earlier in the game than would normally be possible, as the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} is not available prior to reaching [[Vermilion City]].

The Magikarp salesman appears once again in {{2v2|Black|White}}. He can be found on the west end of [[Marvelous Bridge]]. Like in [[Kanto]], it also costs {{pdollar}}500 to purchase a Magikarp from him. | The Magikarp salesman appears once again in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.
