Character description

File:Pokey (Front).gif

Pokey Minch.

Pokey was originally Ness' neighbor. Ness' father had borrowed a lot of money from his family. Aloysius Minch, Pokey's father claims that it is around ten thousand dollars(though he said it could have been a lot less). Pokey also has a little-brother named Picky, and a mother named Lardna. He temporarily joins Ness to find his little brother, whom is sat next to a meteorite. They also find Buzz Buzz, a bee-like creature from ten years in the future to tell Ness that he and three other heroes are said to stop the evil Giygas and the Starmen's plans. He convinces himself that he is not one of the heroes. He eventually joins the Happy Happy cult, with even some of the followers to attack Ness and his friends.

After the cult is disbanded, he and his father start working as business consultants for Mayor Monotoli. He uses the money to live a luxurious life, but steals Monotoli's helicopter when he (Monotoli) is confronted by Ness. It crashed into the Deep Darkness Swamp. He is then not seen until he appears with Giygas, claiming that Giygas lead him the whole time and that he serves only the strong and able. He expresses to Ness that Giygas shall destroy the whole universe. He battles Ness in a spider-like machine. When Giygas is destroyed, he time-travels into another era, but not before taunting Ness one last time. His last message comes through Picky and says, "Come and get me, loser! Spankety Spankety Spankety!"

Sometime before the events of Mother 3, he creates the Pig Army and creates strange chimeras everywhere throughout Nowhere Island. Before Lucas met him, no one had seen him, so his real identity was a big mystery. Due to a side effect of time-traveling, he had aged a number of years, but has become trapped in his current body. He himself comments that he can be thousands or even tens of thousands of years old when Lucas meets him. His mind, however, doesn't seem to have been aged with him, as his immaturity and cowardice remains the same as in EarthBound.

During the last chapter, he builds New Pork City, claims himself to be the ruler of the world, and relocates the people of Nowhere Island into this highly advanced city. It resembles an amusement park and is filled with pictures of the young Pokey, the most notable being a giant statue topped with a crown. The room that leads to his throne room has a boat ride through a museum with things from himself, including the Phase Distorter and his original spider mech, both from EarthBound. Pokey is fought in a spider-like machine similar to the one from EarthBound. After defeat, he encapsulates himself and his mecha-bed in the "Absolutely Safe Machine", a completely indestructible device made by Dr. Andonuts which is used as a safe haven for Pokey during emergencies. However, Andonuts designed that, upon activation, nobody could enter or exit it, dooming Pokey to spend the rest of his life in isolation, never being able to interact with anybody.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

New Pork City is a stage in Brawl. Also, Porky's Theme is, as the name implies, his main song in Brawl.

As a boss

As a one of the bosses of the Subspace Emissary and a high-ranked member of the Subspace Army, a general if you will, he sends Primids to divert him and sends in his giant statue, The Pig King Statue, that soon starts to hunt Lucas down. This statue is indestructible, so Lucas has no choice but to escape now; the giant statue destroys giant containers, barrels, enemies and even metallic buildings. Lucas finally comes to a giant marsh which seems to rescue Lucas as the statue sinks, but it soon respawns.

Lucas then stumbles, and just as the giant statue is about to crush him, someone uses a PK Thunder which causes the statue to tip over, and Ness appears. The statue once again recovers and flies into the air, this time to crush Ness. However, he uses a PK Flash and the statue explodes, revealing Pokey Minch himself inside (in his bed-mecha from Mother 3). A battle then ensues. He attacks by running around and by using a variety of lasers, but he is eventually taken down. Porky is brought back by Tabuu to distract the heroes in his maze of different worlds.

As a trophy

A self-centered, rotten brat who lives next door to Ness. As the events of the game progress, he's rapidly led astray and becomes Giygas's right-hand man. Afterward, he goes missing in time and then reappears in the Nowhere Islands of Mother 3. He leads the Pig Mask Army invasion but is eventually defeated by Lucas and friends.

Porky Statue

A guardian statue standing inside New Pork City that's clearly based on Porky himself. Investigate it, and the statue will turn hostile and start a battle. And it has 100,000,000 HP! It has very high stats, so you'll never win if you attack it straight-on. Thankfully, there's an item called "New Year's Eve" that can reduce its HP to 1--then you can defeat it with ease.

Trivia

• Despite appearance, you can actually step on the glass vial and avoid some attacks, while other times, it leaves you perfectly open to damage, but at this potition, you are capable of attacking the whole time you stand up there.
