C'mere! I'm gonna bench-press you!
― Picture quote, Wild World


Poncho (ポンチョ, Poncho?) is a jock cub villager that has appeared in every game in the Animal Crossing series. His name refers to a poncho, an article of clothing. His catchphrase is "li'l bear", which has to do with the fact that he is a bear cub himself.

He has the fitness hobby.

Appearance

Poncho GC

Poncho in Animal Crossing

Poncho is a navy blue bear cub. He initially wears the Blue Grid Shirt, an off-white shirt with blue lines on it. On Poncho's head, there is a tuft of hair that is a lighter blue than his body, and he has yellow paws and feet. The inside of Poncho's ears are a dark brown or maroon color, and his arms and legs are navy blue like the rest of his body. He looks similar to Aisle, another cub villager.

Personality

Below is a brief description of the jock personality. For more information, click here.

Poncho has a jock personality and has a great interest in sports and bodybuilding. Jock villagers are hyperactive and motivated, but often come across as self-centered and dense. As a jock villager, Poncho is very interested in his hobby, and may compete against the player at catching bugs and fish. Jock villagers get along with peppy, cranky, and sisterly villagers, but conflict with the laid-back lifestyle of lazy villagers. Snooty villagers may also be difficult to get along with for Poncho.

House

In Animal Crossing, Poncho's house seems to have no specific theme and is rather arbitrary, as there are four Gyroids lined up, the two Tall Droploids, the Mega Timpanoid, and the Mini Bowtoid along with the lamentoid. There is mostly Modern furniture in his house, such as the Modern Bed, the Modern Dresser, and the Modern Wardrobe. There is also other various items, such as the Classic Table, a Cream Sofa, an Aloe, a stove and fridge, and a Comfy Sweater. The wallpaper is the Tartan Wall and the Steel Flooring. There is no stereo, therefore no music.

In Wild World and City Folk, Poncho still has no specific theme, still with many furniture from the Modern Series, like the Modern Bed and the Modern Cabinet. He has three gyroids, Mega Timpanoid, the Lamentoid, and the Tall Droploid. If Poncho is given a stereo it will play K.K. Condor.

In New Horizons, Poncho's house becomes a typical traditional/modern theme. In the west he has 3 metal bunkbeds with different colors. Towards the north is what appears to be a bathroom with a shower and toilet closed off by a wooden bookshelf and a cacao tree. In the east there is a laundry-room type setup, with a washer, dryer, and sink. Almost everything in his house is blue.

Pocket Camp

Poncho's preferred theme is natural. His profile says:

Some folks believe "all's well that ends well." Others swear that "it's the journey that matters, not the destination." Poncho's not sure where he stands on the matter.
