these different color Pokemon are called shiny Pokemon, each Pokemon has a double that has a different color, like the "yellow magikarp", if you want one, use the old rod over and over again until you have a shiny magikarp.

Here's how, but you have to have a lot of patience... Receive the Old Rod from the Fishing Guru in Viridian City. Make sure you have plenty of Pokeballs in your Inventory, so if you do encounter a Shiny Magikarp, you'll be ready. Also make sure that your Old Rod is registered for easy use. Go to any area of water and fish. If the Magikarp you encounter is a golden color, congratulations, you found a Shiny! If not, keep Running. The chances of encountering a Shiny Pokemon is 1 in 8192, so if you're real desperate to get a Shiny Magikarp, you've gotta have patience. In my main game, FireRed, I have 2 Shinies, a Level 100 Crobat (evolved from a Shiny Golbat), and a Shiny Venomoth, caught in the Safari Zone. It was completely unexpected, but remember, it ALL depends on luck. Happy Shiny Hunting! ~Katie

There is a rumor that if you breed the red gyarados from the lake of rage and an opposite gender blue gyarados, you can. Otherwise you still have a one in about 8000 chance of getting it in the wild.
magikarp.....
Magikarp
You can obtain a Magikarp by using an Old rod on ANY body of accessible water in Pokemon Platinum
only the worst Pokemon AKA magikarp
FROM A FISHERMAN. Who wants you to catch a magikarp and trade it to him for the old rod
According to www.Serebii.net theres like a 1 and 8,000 chance of getting a shiny with any Pokemon so with that, you can try 8,000 times but not a definite your going to get a shiny, I found a shiny pidgey but sadly in Soul Silver it takes forever to learn how to throw pokeballs! :P But in Soul Silver you will get a chance to take on and battle or catch a shiny red garagous (Spelling of the evovled form of Magikarp) it waa easy to catch. Also for Diamond you can try using the pokeradar if your chain is high then it'll be easier for you to catch it. www.Serebii.net has a great guide for any Pokemon Game~!
