There's PSI fire in Mother 1 too and I'm pretty sure it hits all enemies. Overall attacking PSI is mostley the same in Earthbound, except for not having stuff like the best PSI freeze putting enemies at 1 HP and PK Beam instantly killing.

Also buff PSI got nerfed hard in Earthbound, they're near useless in it.

Yeah, he has a great design. Plus he's probably the strongest boy of the series.

Fair enough. I think this point can also be brought to the music, Mother 1's is a lot more simple while Earthbound's is really quirky, especially with all of the stuff it samples. I do kinda like how every game in the series has a different feel to it though.

I found Boney more useful in general than I found Poo. Boney at least filled my niche of a fast item user that was able to make some clutch saves when need, and to easily snatch shields to make some fights faster. Poo is sort of a jack of all trades, but a master of none. Sure he can take some pressure off Ness, but I found him more of a liability than a useful party member. Not saying Boney had more survivablity, but at least he could heal himself quickly if needed.

Still, I'm not saying Boney is great at all. I think he can be pretty bad, but I just never found a good niche for Poo like I did with Boney.
