Shiny Magnemite

The gold was a predictable change, but the black on the magnets was unexpected for me and I think looks really sharp. A luxury magnemite. Looks expensive

Noticeably different than it's regular counterpart, and I like the contrast of the black poles

Very cool! Instantly recognizable as a shiny, and surprisingly takes on a monochromatic color scheme, which is pretty rare. It definitely feels more special.

The only other suggestion for an alternate shiny I can think of would be for the magnets to turn red (like a big cartoon magnet is usually red with gray tips) but I think that'd be a bit of an eyesore, thus can't think of a true 'better' shiny.

Recognizability: Pass

Gold definitely is a change from the steel

Color balance: Pass

It's a bit more monotone but the contrast is still great.

Aesthetic quality: Pass

Looks good. Reminds me of old Duracell batteries and batteries like it.

Enjoyment over original: Pass

Yeah, this is much more fun.

It’s different from the original. It has full coverage of its colors. The color palette matches and I think it’s a really cool shiny. However, unless you’re seeing it in-game, it always looks like a pee yellow instead of gold.

The gold with the black magnet poles is very cool

GOLD!

Black n Yellow

I like how the magnet tips change colour

lovely, simple, not great, but very effective in what it must do

This is a really great shiny, which honestly just gets better evolving into Magneton.

It became gold instead of metal. I liked that.

The gold body looks excellent and the black-tipped magnets are really cool as well. I just would've changed the colour of the screws to be a darker grey.

For once its an improvement from the old games

I don't know, I don't really care for it. It's just another color that metal usually is. At least they kept it as metal and didn't make it purple or something. Is there purple metal?
