I personally like Poo the best, he's really strong and great against later bosses in my opinion. Who did you like the best?

They were all pretty great, but I prefer Ness cause they beefed him up so much after Magicant.

I'd have to say Jeff, as he can use stronger weapons then the others. Plus, I mass-leveled him early when I got him, so he ended up way stronger then all of the others.

My favorite is the main character Ness. He's stronger than all the others and well because he's the main character.

I also would choose Ness as well, he is one of the stronger members of the party and is one of the main characters. I choose him.

No one likes Paula? But she can learn all the elemental PSI and can teach preschoolers.

I think Paula is the best because she can learn a lot of offensive PSI but Ness only learns your favorite thing PSI

I chose Ness because he is the best person in the game and can whoop butt.

I'll go out side the box.

Buzz Buzz.

He was a bee. And kicked major butt.

Not to be an e-bound stereotype, but Ness is the most useful member. Paula is the most important, however. She's the only one that knows how to pray, apparently. Ness has the best healing PSI's in the game, can revive the dead, cause status effects, raise stats, roast enemies with PSI rockin', and most popularly, beat enemies to death with a baseball bat. All the characters are useful, however. Paula knows all the elements, Jeff uses important machines in battle, and Poo not only can use some elements, but can revive as well as Ness, and rack on some damage with PK starstorm. That's my e-bound opinion. Mother is obvious, Ninten, but Mother 3 is hard to decide. For m-3 I'd say Boney. Yeah, you heard right. He almost always goes first, can find an enemy's weakness, and leads the rest of the team to the important plot-twists. The going first thing makes it easy for shield snatcher, N.Y.E bomb, and other items. Sniff is useful if you want to find out what psi attack damages the enemies most... having that in earthbound would make it way too easy, but m-3 has tougher enemies, so sniff is fair here. So, Ness is the only choice on this poll, so I choose him. (I know, this is for e-bound, but mother 3 is in the same series)
