You know what the saddest part of this entire debacle is? I loathe Pokemon. I will proclaim that fact until my face turns blue. Yet, I know that a relatively useless Magikarp can suddenly evolve into a badass Gyrados after a certain amount of leveling up. *sigh*
Pokemon are OK. But it is pretty useless having 2 Magikarp battle each other. Unless the 2 trainers in question tell us who has a higher level between those 2. So I rest my case.
