Porky (spelled as Pokey in EarthBound) is Ness's neighbor, making his debut in EarthBound. He later appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mother 3.

In EarthBound

In EarthBound, Pokey first consults Ness when he is requesting his help to find his little brother Picky. Ness brings his dog with him to help. Every time Ness must fight something, Pokey will apologize or do something else, such as using Ness as a shield, showing his cowardly personality. Pokey, along with his brother, are then punished when they go back home. The next appearance of Pokey was in Happy Happy Village. He tells Ness that Mr. Carpainter made him a very important character in Happy-happyism. He doesn't fight Ness though, instead leaving his minions to do that. When Carpainter is defeated, Pokey at first pretends to be sorry, but then shows that he is fibbing. Pokey doesn't appear again until Fourside, where he and his dad have seemed to achieve power. After Paula is rescued, Pokey flees again, and is not seen until the final boss battle, where he is now in a spider mecha. After he is defeated, he abandons Giygas and flees through time, setting up his role in Mother 3. When Pokey is in the party, his battle commands are selected randomly from a large list of commands.

In Mother 3

Pokey later reappears as the main antagonist in Mother 3 and was chosen to stay as "Porky" in the fan translation, due to a large amount of pig-related puns involving him. He first appears in Chapter 8, where he is the ruler of the land. He invites much of the residents of Tazmily Village to move to New Pork City.

When Lucas meets Leder, he learns that Porky didn't end up on the Nowhere Islands from the White Ship like others. Instead, he came from a Time Distorter, and made people from other times, such as Dr. Andonuts, come to this time period. He also began putting animals together to create Chimeras and became dictator of the land. He eventually learned of the secret of the Nowhere Island's past from Locria, the seventh Magypsy. Porky then tries to have the Seven Needles pulled by the Masked Man to control the dragon that powers the world. Lucas tries pulling the needles as well to stop him.

Unused sprites found by hackers show that Porky may have originally been planned to die in the end of Mother 3, though in the end it was modified so that Porky would live on forever in the Absolutely Safe Capsule. Shigesato Itoi has stated that Porky will still be alive in 5.5 billion years when the Earth will be destroyed by the Sun going nova; Itoi says that "the grief of that is incredibly depressing to me. It's amazing... Porky is truly a poem in himself."[1]
