Yes, the steel types were not introduced until much later, so Magnemite would not have been hybrid steel/elec and strong in the original games. Fire/Red is where I heavily spammed Magneton as my main electric type. :> When I played the original red, blue games, I trained my gyrados from scratch from that man who sold the magikarp and caught a clefairy in mt.moon. Those were the days. I actually never backfilled my team with a eeveelution, but I know they must be good. Jolteon has wicked stats.

I see what you mean - Miku's popularity could be a double edged sword especially for small producers just trying to break into the fandom get their songs noticed. That's interesting that Haku had an actual story behind her - I don't know where I read this, but I was told Haku's a satire of people who can't make Miku Hatsune sound good (so weak voice?). Just read it on yt comments, so definitely have no idea where this is from.

For Miku's popularity thing, I'm looking at it from the perspective of producers who got huge through their Miku hits. I'm seeing Deco*27 begin to solely use Miku as of late, and ghost rule got into project diva, but he was already a pretty popular producer to begin with before the Miku songs like Ghost Rule, iiya, Hibana, MKDR etc.. Ergo, maybe so it's initially difficult to get noticed in the sea of Miku originals, but it seems to me that using miku will produce greater dividends than not :? Mekaku also started with a Miku song and I think what JIN did was one of the greatest successes any producer can hope to achieve in terms of fanbase and popularity.
