::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. | ::I thought the first idea came from the episode when Ash first challenged the Saffron City Gym...

::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.

:::I just re-watched the episode (EP022) and it indeed says that. The exact quote from the dub -- "You can't control a Psychic-type Pokémon without using telekinetic powers." However, it seems that he's referring to ''telepathic'' powers, not ''telekinetic'' powers like he says (as it makes no sense that being able to bend spoons and move things with your mind has any impact on controlling Pokémon). Or maybe what he's saying is that the Psychic-type Pokémon is the one using the telekinetic powers, but that's not what it sounds like. But anyway, this quote, and the fact that Sabrina has an obvious telepathic link to her Abra / Kadabra leads me to believe that you must be a psychic to control a Psychic-type Pokémon.
