He's an evil one. Mr. Minch.
How does Ness stand living next to Pokey? Imagine Pokey as a toddler, I bet he drove his parents nuts. Now tell me: How can Pokey's parents have any social life with Pokey running around. Try going to an art museum with Pokey, and your little baby attempts stealing the Picasso. I can't work it out. But it does make sense. Pokey's parents are the roots of evil.
Maybe they need some religion. Or guidance, like family counseling. But pity the counselor. For the several weeks they would come in for therapy, his life would be a living hell. Both parents would be screaming at each other. Picky would be minding his own business, and Pokey would be budding up with the head counselor.
Just think of Ness. I like my neighbors. They are nice people. But even the weirdest of neighbors, like the old woman who stole anything and everything that landed in her yard so my Dad would have to call the police, couldn't compare to the Minch family. POKEY KNOCKS ON HIS DOOR AT 3 IN THE MORNING! And he doesn't stop. He keeps on knocking until Ness answers. Hasn't he heard of the telephone? And hasn't he heard of the "right times," to do errands, and the "wrong times?" But this is 199X, and its Eagleland, and your Dog can hold a conversation with you. Who knows?
But Ness's family was falling on hard times. His Dad needed a loan from Pokey's Father, which wasn't an easy task. "Uh, Mr. Minch? We don't have much money. And by looking at all the tacky furniture and cacti you own, it appears you have too much money. Why not donate some money? For the future champion of the world? C'mon, it will be a good tax break!"
Ness does save the world, and with the money he earns from interest, I'm sure he can pay Pokey's Dad, and perhaps buy the Minch family a new house, as far away as possible, and hopefully, not within 15 miles of my house.
