<p>A lovely way to start your week is with one fantastic news story featuring <em>Pokémon X &; Y</em> details and another featuring Magikarp. Is there any better way to start your Monday?</p>
<p>In regards to <em>Pokémon X &; Y</em>, it has emerged that <em>Pokémon Smash</em> will be sharing details on the game during their show later this week and that <em>CoroCoro</em>, a Japanese magazine well known for releasing <em>Pokémon</em> details, will also shed details. It is believed however that these details in <em>CoroCoro</em> are likely to leak around Wednesday.</p>
<p>Unfortunately we won&#8217;t be receiving the amazing gift our fellow Japanese <em>Pokémon</em> fans are getting; a shiny (read: GOLDEN) Magikarp is going to be distributed through the Pokémon Center store in Nagoya which will be holding a Rare Candy and will be level 99.</p>
<p>The main question is, obviously, do you evolve it and get a common red Gyrados or do you level that ‘Karp up and take on the Elite Four with a golden Magikarp which knows Flail, Hydro Pump, Bounce, and (the most powerful move in the game) Splash. Fantastic.</p>
