* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). From Generation II onwards, Ghost-type moves are indeed super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:59, 17 March 2012 (UTC) | * In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error.

::Okay, never mind then. | |||
::I thought the first idea came from the episode when Ash first challenged the Saffron City Gym... I thought someone said something like "you need to have psychic powers to control a Psychic-type Pokémon"... but it's been a while since I've seen it so I could be mistaken. Maybe I just assumed that something like that happened since Sabrina had a psychic connection with her Abra / Kadabra. And I was mistaken about Psyduck being Psychic. | |||
::Also, I thought that the Ghost weakness thing was fixed in Yellow (to make it more like the TV show). But yeah, the quote in the game did remove the "fear Ghosts" part, so I'm probably mistaken on that as well. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 20:46, 17 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
