I've heard that Mr. Resetti has no fur underneath his helmet. That poor, poor mole... eek!
― Porter, Animal Crossing


Porter (えきいんさん, Ekiinsan?) is a monkey who runs the Train Station in the Animal Crossing series, by coordinating transportation between towns. His occupation is where his name comes from. He first appears in Animal Forest and Animal Crossing, and re-appears in New Leaf. Little is known about him. He resembles the villager, Champ, who is in Wild World and City Folk.

Appearance[]

Porter AF

Porter is a brown monkey with a pale yellow face, hands, and feet. He wears a blue station porter uniform, which consists of a jacket with gold buttons and two pockets on it. He also wears a hat with a badge in the front center.

Role[]

In Animal Crossing[]

In New Leaf[]

Porter can be found in the Train Station 24/7. He will be behind the desk, waiting there for somebody to use the station. His purpose is to allow the player to visit other players' towns. In order unlock the ability to invite other players over, the player must show him their Town Pass Card. If the player hasn't had their picture taken yet, he asks them for their picture.

After the player invites 100 other players over to their town, Porter can be seen thinking. When spoken to, he will mention that he wants to enter the train station into a design contest. Afterwards, a few designs turn up in the player's Public Works Projects list.

Porter does not usually leave the Train Station except if there is a ceremony for the Train Station remodeling. He will be next to the player on the opposite side of Isabelle.

Trivia[]

Warning: Theory starts here.
  • It was theorized that Porter is Champ, as neither one co-existed in the same game, but no official evidence suggests this is true. This though has been proven false as Champ and Porter's birthdays are on different dates.
    • However, it is possible that Porter and Champ are actually brothers, as Porter's e-Card reveals that he has a brother.
Theory ends here.
  • In Wild World, lazy villagers will mention Porter in some conversations with the player. They will state that they had a Train Station in their village while growing up, and the "coolest monkey worked there".
  • Porter has the voice of a lazy villager, and the town tune of Porter is exactly the same as Simon's.
  • He shares his birthday with sisterly bear Charlise. They both have birthdays on April 17.
