Question about Ninten’s psychic abilities

Today I began to replay Mother 1 and I started thinking about the lore. This game is my favorite of the three, and I had figured out a lot of the story details. Over a year ago was when I first played it.

But as I try to remember it, I can’t quite remember WHY I remember this specific detail. Ness and Lucas are born with their psychic abilities, and if I remember correctly, Ninten was not. He gained his psychic abilities from the poltergeist that occurred in his area when Giygas first came back down to Earth. whatever psychic energy brought his lamp and the baby doll to life, it gave him psychic powers, accidentally turning Ninten into a psychic/allowing him to learn psychic abilities in the future.

This is what I thought happened a year ago, but now I’m starting to question it. I remember somewhere’s in the game it hints at this/deliberately says it, but I can’t remember what it was or when it happened! Can anyone help me confirm this, or tell me that I’m misremembering?

I did it.

I beat Mother 3. I finished the Earthbound trilogy.

You can ask me questions if you like, I might not respond for a bit. I need time to think about all that’s just happened. I’m posting this about 10 minutes after reaching the screen in the photo, so everything is still all fresh in my mind.

I will say this, though. This game made me cry. I’ll make a follow-up post sometime later after I’m done thinking this all over.

This model was made all by myself, minus the mesh I used for the shutter shades. I really like this result! I think it's a decently accurate model.

Let me know if you guys like this, and if you'd like to see more! I plan on using this Strong Bad model for things in the future. I might even make Homestar, too.
