| abstract | - Picky Minch is a character in EarthBound. He is a boy from the suburbs of Onett, and the younger, though far more mature brother of Pokey Minch. He plays a small role during the beginning of the game when he is lost on the mountain behind Onett. He temporarily joins Ness's party after he finds him on the mountain and Ness brings him home. Unlike Pokey, Picky provides some small aid to Ness in battle during this initial part of the game, although his attacks only cause 1 point of damage (unless he gets a SMAAASH!! attack), and sometimes he chants a completely useless spell. After Ness brings him home, he stays in front of a bed on the second story of his family's house for the remainder of the game. He and his mother, Lardna Minch, also stay behind when his brother Pokey and his father go to Fourside. Like Lardna, he has no clue as to why his father and brother left. He later appears in Magicant, where he complains to Ness that his snack was stolen from him by Pokey. At the end of the game he gives Ness a letter written by Pokey Minch telling him to find him if he can.
