Not even a little.
But Golduck is still a cool duck. He looks sleek and smooth, like he's wearing a wetsuit or something, as opposed to Psyduck's bulbous non-streamlined body. Golduck even has spikes on his head, some sort of duck claws, and then a jewel on his forehead that you just KNOW can shoot a beam.
At least, I think he can shoot a beam. Maybe he's like Gigan, and doesn't actually have any beam moves, but he totally looks like he does.
If Psyduck was the awkward loser character, who nobody really liked, then Golduck is his dramatic re-entry, after he's taken a level in badass, with maybe a sword and a cape, and that spiky anime hair with one lock hanging off in front.
In case you couldn't follow that metaphor, just remember this: Golduck is smooth and silky and badass.
Overall: 9/10
I always had the suspicion they did switch the names, since...well Goldduck DOES learn psychic attacks. And Golduck should also be Water/psychic instead plain Water. Understandable back then but nowadays nonsensical...
