Porky Minch

Pokey Minch (ポーキー・ミンチ, Pōkī Minchi, Porky Minch) is Ness's portly, obnoxious next-door neighbor. His family seems to hold a grudge against Ness' family, because Pokey's father, Aloysius Minch, apparently loaned a few hundred thousand Dollars to Ness' dad (though he admits it could have been a lot less), and never got them back. When a meteor falls outside their houses in Onett, Pokey temporarily joins Ness to find his younger brother, Picky. He learns of the impending destruction and take over, but convinces himself that he is not one of the heroes. He then goes on to join the Happy Happy cult, even going as far to have some of the other followers attack Ness.

After the cult is disbanded, he and his father end up working as business consultants for Mayor Monotoli. He uses the money to live a luxurious life, but he eventually steals Monotoli's helicopter after Monotoli is confronted by Ness. That helicopter is shown to have been crashed in the Deep Darkness swamp, and Pokey is not seen until he appears with Giygas, where he claims that Giygas was leading him the whole time. He appears in a spider-like machine, and battles Ness alongside Giygas because he feels that the universe should be destroyed. Once Giygas is destroyed, Pokey uses time travel to escape into another era, but not before taunting Ness one last time. His last message comes through Picky in the form of a note that says ""Come and get me, loser!" He later appears in Mother 3 as The Pig King.
