Okay... so, someone who's read Special, is Yellow's ability Aura-like? And if so, should she, Rui, Ash, and any others with the aura ability be plopped into one category? TTEchidna 17:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Yellow's powers could just as easily be Psychic abilities. Considering that when it was written, that was the only special powers humans could have in Pokemon, that's probably what they were intended to be viewed as. --Zeta 18:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm... Well, what of Rui in Colosseum? Aura may not have officially debuted until late Gen III, but ehh... And wasn't Yellow in the FRLG arc of Special, too? TTEchidna 18:26, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

- Well, we do know, since in Colo/XD they're all like "I CAN SEE ITS AURA" and "AURA READER" and stuff, plus, Colo/XD's Shadow Pokémon are mentioned here. TTEchidna 18:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's fair enough for Rui. Was Yellow's ability ever reffered to as Aura, though? - Cassius335 11:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- Didn't Sabrina imply that Aura and Psychic abilities are the same thing, though? I mean, she did mention something along the lines of Psychic powers making up all forms of life, and yet only a select few lifeforms are aware that they have it in the first gen and definitely their remakes (which was what Aura was described as in a nutshell.)

- Maybe. You can be telekenetic without looking like a refugee from Dragonball, though. - Cassius335 10:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I added in the Sabrina reference to the article if that's ok. I also wanted to ask something. Cassius, exactly what did you mean by "You can be a telekinetic without looking like a refugee from dragonball"? I mean, I know the Dragonball. It just didn't make any sense as to what you said, that's all. Weedle Mchairybug 13:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Qi
More likely a reference to Chi than Star Wars. Someone shift the emphasis, please. --Raijinili 03:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
- If you come up with a good enough case for qi, I'll put it on the page.Otherwise, the star wars is rightDCM
- Considering the way Dragon Ball Z represented qi (or ki as it's called there) and how it can be used as a visible projectile and literally makes characters glow with an aura, I would say that my case is made. Also, the "aura is with me" phrase might not appear the same way in the Japanese version, while the comparisons with Dragon Ball Z would be near impossible to dismiss as a possible localization.
- The Force does not get stronger as a battle goes on. The Force isn't a life force, since wikipedia:Yuuzhan Vong are alive and are not connected to the Force.
- Really, "Ash's status as the lone person who can control aura is similar to that of Luke Skywalker during the original trilogy" is pushing it. Hard. --Raijinili 02:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
