Inspiration for Ferrothorn?

Probably not. But I thought you guys might enjoy watching this video of ferrofluids.

For more on ferrofluids, see: Wikipedia

For a moment, I'd assumed Talon was responding to yet another one of those random pointless little troll threads we get from time to time.

Apparently I was wrong.

Concept, if you're referring to my posts, I'm no troll.

I was actually thinking of this, but then I had forgotten you existed. Don't venture outside of the ASB much so.

That video is pretty funky Talon, not seen that before. Most entertaining magnet based thing I'd see before was levitating a frog. Had to calculate the magnetic field required to do so on a problem sheet one time so looked the video up.

And here I had assumed that 'Ferro-' in Ferrothorn referred to ferrum, which is iron.

Keep trolling kid. One day someone might fall for it.

Not really, I'm pretty sure "Kuno doesn't like you" is grounds enough on this forum. You don't exactly have rights here.

If you're not banning, at least change his name to ObviousTroll so he can be a legitimate one.

On topic, I wouldn't doubt that being an influence in the design, and I sem to remember some sort of oil company having a similar commercial.

It's probably obvious from the topic, but when I wrote this, I meant to say Ferroseed, not Ferrothorn. Still, you guys got the idea. I've never seen Ferrothorn's in-game sprite, but I have seen Ferroseed's: and it's the way he rotates at high speeds which lent itself strongly to comparison with the rotating drills in this video. Along with the spikes and the iron, of course.

Ferrothorn looks kind of like a spikey UFO with three spikey sprouts.

I always enjoy people on the internet suggesting that moderators have to have a reason for what they do. They absolutely do not, and can run forums as a police state if they wish (although a much cuddlier one in our case), you can't appeal to a court of law that you've been banned from a Pokemon forum without good reason.

However, I totally fail to see what this dude gets out of trolling a forum with about 50 active members, none of whom even bite that hard. My best explanation so far is that Talon likes arguing so much he signed up an account that could disagree with himself.

Ditto that. Pet peeve of mine, along with people who say shy people are "antisocial".
