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.
Despite being stuck at the station rain or shine, Porter always seems to be in a chipper mood. Rumor has it that his brother, the train's engineer, switch places sometimes!
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.
