Porky later reappears as the main antagonist in ''[[Mother 3]]''. | Porky later reappears as the main antagonist in ''[[Mother 3]]''. Though he is called Pokey in ''EarthBound'', he has since been known as Porky in official English sources, including the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, and he also carries this name in the [[Mother 3 fan translation|fan translation]] of ''Mother 3''. This change is likely related to the frequent pig-related wordplay surrounding him in the latter game. | ||
Although not present or mentioned directly for most of the game, Porky's influence is seen through the [[Pigmask Army]] that emerges early on in the story. When the game [[Chapter 4|skips forward]] several years into the future, it is revealed that the Nowhere Islands are controlled by "King P", although the actual Pigmask forces are commanded by the [[Fierce Pork Trooper]], [[Fassad]], and the [[Masked Man]]. Porky's presence is hinted at in [[Chapter 5]], when the party goes through his playroom in [[Thunder Tower]]. While only referenced as "the King's playroom", it is shown that the most prized possession there is the "[[Yo-yo#In Mother 3|Friend's Yo-yo]]", a reference to [[Ness]]'s use of yo-yos in the [[EarthBound|previous game]]. The fact that Ness is referred to as a "friend" here and that the yo-yo is the most prized possession once again implies that Porky expressed some positive feelings of his former enemy. Porky is finally confirmed to be the identity of "King P" at the end of [[Chapter 7]], when he invites the party to his home in [[New Pork City]]. | Although not present or mentioned directly for most of the game, Porky's influence is seen through the [[Pigmask Army]] that emerges early on in the story.
