If the magnets are supposed to represent Magnemite's hands, do the nails represent its feet?--[[User:Kuki|<span style="color:#b00000;">Kuki</span>]][[User talk:Kuki|<span style="color:#2c40a4;">Ta</span><span style="color:#049440;">lk</span>]] 16:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Magnemite's backsprites show two different types of top screw nut between Gen1-3 and Gen4. In Generation 4, it changes to a Philips head screw, while all previous depictions of it is a flathead screw. Is this notable enough to be considered trivia? [[User:RWMVG1DC|RWMVG1DC]] 21:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
:well, they arent nails, they are screws, but yes, they do. dispite Magnemite anti-gravity it still has a footpring in the dex, and it is the imprint of a screw. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 16:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)


Well in fact, Magnemite's flight is temporary. When it is about to sleep or faint, it drops to the ground. So the screws might serve as its feet. [[User:Weezing22arbok|Weezing22arbok]] 01:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
== Type effectiveness ==
:if you are implying that Magnemite walk using their magnets, then you would be wrong. as seen in Snap, they hover over the ground. when they faint, they simply lie there. anti-gravity implys they do not require any actual energy to hover. this is why anti-gravity is impossible to recreate in real life, because any and all "hovering" man made has used energy in some way shape or form. they dont create the anti-gravity, they just ''do'' it. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 04:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the "type effectiveness" box of Magnemite / Magneton be redone somewhat, since many of the original alignments before the release of Gen II have been overlooked in the notes below? eg. The Dragon-type hasn't been acknowledged as previously doing 1x damage, nor has the Fire-type's or Fighting-type's 1x effectiveness due to the lack of the Steel-type in Gen I. The existing type alignment notes are also rather disordered, when they could be more efficiently grouped into 1x and 0.5x.
:::well yea, be he said when they get tired they walk, and im just stating they do not walk. granted, in the anime, Magnemite and Ton do not fall apart when they faint. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 22:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


You are right on all accounts. Magnetmite dosent "walk" but it could be man-made. Its ether hollow or the eye takes up all room.

Right, cool. Sorry, I meant 1/2x actually, not 0.5x; I didn't mean to differentiate between the two different ways of writing "one half", only to point out that they could be grouped as "normally effective" [1x] and "not very effective..." [1/2x] to make reading easier.

Trivia

Magnemite's backsprites show two different types of top screw nut between Gen1-3 and Gen4. In Generation 4, it changes to a Philips head screw, while all previous depictions of it is a flathead screw. Is this notable enough to be considered trivia? RWMVG1DC 21:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
