Porky Minch

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

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.

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. Not only that, but he 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 Magipsy. Porky then tries to pull the seven needles to control the dragon that powers the world. Lucas tries pulling the needles as well to stop him.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pokey is a boss in the game's adventure mode, Subspace Emissary. Here, he appears after the King Statue fight, and will fight Lucas and Ness. He appears as he does in Mother 3, inside his spider-like mecha. He can use various missiles and bombs. He eventually is defeated. Pokey then makes an appearances with the other bosses in the Great Maze. Also like the other bosses, he has his own trophy and appears in boss mode.
