Picky Minch

Character from EarthBound by Shigesato Itoi / Nintendo

Pokey's younger, far more mature brother who gets left behind while his father and brother pursue power — the decent Minch, for what that's worth.

Picky is the younger brother of Pokey Minch and the only member of the Minch family who isn't terrible. He gets left on the hilltop when Pokey runs away from the meteorite, joins Ness's party briefly (dealing 1 damage with his attacks), and spends the rest of the game stuck at home while his father and brother pursue increasingly evil schemes. His parents are abusive. His brother abandons him. His mother Lardna kills Buzz Buzz. At the end of the game, Picky delivers a letter from Pokey to Ness that reads: 'Come and get me, loser.' Picky is the collateral damage of the Minch family's dysfunction.

Appearance

Small and round like his brother but without the smirk. Wears a shirt with an 'M' on it (his sprite mirrors to show 'M' instead of 'P'). Has the tired expression of a kid whose family is the worst.
