== Notable Trivia? ==
''Magneton's sprites in the handheld games show the three Magnemite that make it up as being connected together; however, in the console games, they are shown as three separate Magnemite floating in a triangular formation with each other, only touching when they attack.''
Does it really need to be there? I don't see how it is notable, it would be different if all of its handheld sprites show them to be linked, but Red/Blue and Silver show otherwise. Plus its sprite trivia, I guess. <small><span style="color:white; background-color:blue">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:blue; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:blue">'''X'''</span></small> 14:01, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

== Generation II Type Change ==
"One could argue that this was purely because the Steel type had not been officially recognized by Pokémon researchers in Generation I; however, in FireRed and LeafGreen they are Electric/Steel-type."
This argument is inaccurate, because FireRed and LeafGreen are actually part of Generation III. Wouldn't it make more sense to state that the arguable reason is that Steel wasn't recognized as a Pokémon type until Pokemon Gold & Silver? It has nothing to do with the in-game "Pokémon researchers", and is instead based simply on the type not existing in the game data originally. This same issue might also exist on Magnemite's page.

:I have added a line that should make the section more clear. Some fans like to take the hardcore route and provide an explanation, and I'd like to keep that opinion in the article, but everyone truly knows it's just a good ol fashioned retcon. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">MAG</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#696969;">NE</span>]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|<span style="color:#000033;">DETH</span>]]''' 01:33, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
== Cries ==
I really don't think that the cry ''slightly'' changed in Generation III is somewhere near notable. I removed it some time ago, but {{u|MAGNEDETH}} obviously didn't like that. I think it's obvious that '''every''' Pokémon from the original 251 had their cry changed due to the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|new games]] playing prerecorded versions of them rather than a chip-generated noise. Since we're not adding that to evey page, we can just point those that have their cry deliberately changed, like Pikachu, Shaymin and Kyurem.

== Amount on screws on Magneton ==
Does not seemed to be brought up, but here goes:
Magneton is made of 3 Magnemite. 1 Magnemite has 3 screws, so 3 Magnemite equates to 9 screws.
Logical?
However that is not the case, as all of the recent official artworks seems to show only 7 screws, 3 for the Magnemite on the top of the triangle, 2 on each of the other 2 Magnemite.
However, do note that Magneton Sprite from Pokemon GSC has 9, so I'm assuming that it is a sprite error.
So:
3 Magnemite with 7 screws = Magneton
 
3 Magnemite with 9 screws = simply 3 Magnemite.
This is probably interesting trivia..
Side note: It's evolution is explained as 3 Magnemite combining correct. Wouldn't it be cool to have a Magneton made up of only one shiny Magnemite?[[User:Theslayer|Theslayer]] ([[User talk:Theslayer|talk]]) 14:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
:It's not just GSC that has 9 screws, it's also all of Generation III. In any case, this is sprite trivia, which is not allowed on Bulbapedia because it clogs up the trivia section with stuff that's self-evident by observing other parts of the page. As far as the differences between Magneton and three separate Magnemite, I'd just chalk that up to [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GameplayAndStorySegregation gameplay and story segregation].

== Impossible Magneton ==
On the first generation (RBY) there's an Engineer with a level 18 Magneton ( a level impossible to get naturally) [[User:Jackoul|Jackoul]] ([[User talk:Jackoul|talk]]) 17:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC) Jack
== Mass Trivia ==
Would it be relevant to note that the reason why magneton weighs 10x as much as magnemite is that it's physically larger? Specifically each of the component bodies would only need to be about 1.49 times bigger to account for the three-dimensional mass gain.
This could make sense, as while magneton's height is listed at over 3x that of magnemite, this number seems to fit when accounting for the dimensions of the bottom-most magnets. [[User:SibeliusEosOwm|SibeliusEosOwm]] ([[User talk:SibeliusEosOwm|talk]]) 10:03, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

== On origin section.... ==
The reason why many Magneton appear near black spots of sun as described in the dex entry is that they are the magnetic concentration of sun [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot]. The dex entry is a reference to that. [[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 11:47, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
