The folks behind Pok\u00e9mon put out a new feature in Pok\u00e9mon a few days ago – “Buddies”. The basic premise of the game is you either catch pok\u00e9mon or hatch them from eggs.

MagiCarp is closely similar to the Asian Carp – the incredibly annoying invasive species destroying the Mississippi River and its tributaries and will sooner or later reach the Great Lakes.
