"Johnny Lightfoot" redirects here. For the character in Sonic the Comic, see Johnny Lightfoot (Sonic the Comic). For other uses of the term, see Pocky (disambiguation).

The Pocky (ポッキー[1] Pokkī?) is a creature that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a race of rabbit Animals which live in various regions all over earth, and are friends of Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies. They are constantly hunted by Dr. Eggman who seeks to use them as energy sources for his Badnik army and often imprisons them in Capsules for later use.

Description[]

Anatomy[]

The typical Pocky resembles a light blue (often gray) rotund domestic rabbit about half a meter tall, although their anatomy is remarkably humanoid. They have large heads with large gray eyes (originally black), white furry muzzles, long ears with light peach inner ears, a long black nose each, and two small buck teeth. Other features include small torsos with white bellies, stubby hind legs, long three-toed feet with white tips, a white fluffy tail tassel each, and hair tufts on their foreheads. They also have small arms. Some Pockies are also shown having pink fur.

In the original Sonic the Hedgehog's illustrations and the artwork depicted in Sonic the Hedgehog The Screen Saver, the Pockies have light blue hands with four digits, while Sonic the Hedgehog 2's illustrations and all subsequent games depict them with white hands with five digits. In one instance a Pocky was depicted with paws.

Characteristics and culture[]

Like real-life rabbits, the Pockies can only speak in a language consisting of small eeks.[2] Although recognized as animal life, Pockies are remarkably intelligent and sociable, being capable of understanding normal language and establishing their own Animal communities.[3] All Pockies are generally good-hearted, helpful, friendly and playful, but their small stature leaves them rather defenseless on their own. They also have great respect and appreciation for nature, choosing to live in complete harmony with it.[4]

Habitats[]

Pockies reside in various natural environments like forests all around earth and its unusual satellites, such as South Island, West Side Island, Angel Island, Little Planet, and the Lost Hex, where they have established their own small villages, more often than not with other Animal species.[3]

The small group of Animals and a Pocky that managed to escape capture remained with Knuckles and Amy while Sonic and Tails went out to save their friends, during which they had fun at the expense of Knuckles. After Eggman later got buried in a hole from falling down from the Lost Hex, a lone Pocky located the comatose Eggman and bit off half of his mustache, mistaking it for a vegetable.

Sometimes though, the Pockies will help Team Sonic as well, usually by providing information or handling smaller tasks.

In gameplay, Pockies will pop out of destroyed Badniks and bounce a little further down the path before falling behind the player. If the player grabs them as they pass by, the player will build up their Combo and earn 2,500 bonus points on the result screen for each Pocky.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog animated series, Pocky's design most likely served as the inspiration for an anthropomorphic female rabbit named Bunnie Rabbot. In this media, Bunnie lived in Mobotropolis, but was forced into hiding in the sanctuary of Knothole Village when Dr. Robotnik took over the kingdom. There, she became a member of the Knothole Freedom Fighters. She would later be subjugated to roboticization, rendering half of her body robotic, although she would come to use her new cyborg abilities for the benefit of the Freedom Fighters.

Sonic X[]

Pocky, from "Running Out of Time".

In the Sonic X anime series and its comic series published by Archie Comics, Pocky, much like in the games, is an animal species native to Sonic's world. Several of them got set to Earth by Chaos Control where they remained for a while until they got sent back home. In this media, they are also portrayed as slightly taller than in games.

Books and comics[]

Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic[]

Pocky, along with other animal friends, appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic manga. He appears in a few panels in the first and third stories. In the Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic Volume 2 story Clash!! South Island, he is being chased by Caterkiller in Marble Zone until Sonic destroys the badnik and saves both Pocky and Picky from danger.

Sonic the Comic[]

STC21-Johnny

In the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions, a Pocky was named Johnny Lightfoot. In this media, Johnny was a close friend of Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies, and would later become one of the founding members of the Freedom Fighters, a group dedicated to taking back Mobius from the dictator Dr. Ivo Robotnik. Amongst his team, Johnny was mainly a fighter, using a unique-looking staff-like weapon. Johnny accompanied his team through many battles and against several villains, from the beginning of their war with Robotnik, to the aftermath of the doctor's defeat, although he never had many solo adventures of his own.

Johnny was eventually killed during a confrontation with the water beast Chaos. His death hit Sonic the hardest and caused a serious change in the hedgehog's outlook.

Archie Comics[]

Bunnie Post WWC V2

Bunnie D'Coolette, from the Archie Comics.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics, the character Bunnie Rabbot from the Sonic the Hedgehog television series which Pocky inspired was adapted as a part of the main cast. In this media, Bunnie was born in the Southern Baronies just before the Great War. Her parents died during the conflict. Bunnie was raised by her Uncle Beauregard and Aunt Lulumae happily for many years. However, things soured when her uncle claimed her parents died in service of the Overlanders due to long-standing tensions between the Southern Baronies and the Kingdom of Acorn.

Rejecting that her parents were traitors, Bunnie ran away from home, cobbling together a small farm on the edge of the kingdom's borders. She was soon found and captured by SWATbots and put in a portable Roboticizer. Sonic the Hedgehog and Rotor Walrus came to her rescue a moment too late; Bunnie was half-roboticized. However, Bunnie took it rather well. Bunnie bonded with Sally Acorn and quickly became one of the Freedom Fighters, providing many facets of aid to her team. While she put on a brave face, she hoped she would one day be returned to normal. But then her body began rejecting her robotic parts. She would accept an upgraded design from Dr. Quack and Nate Morgan, though she could never be deroboticized. With Antoine's love and support, she committed to her cyborg life and eventually married Antoine after many heartaches. When Ixis Naugus attempted to fix Bunnie's cybernetics with magic when he crystallized them, she was miraculously reverted back to flesh and blood. Shortly after, however, Antoine was nearly killed on a mission. Blaming her own powerlessness, Bunnie turned to the Great Desert Dark Egg Legion until the second Genesis Wave.

In the timeline created by the Super Genesis Wave, Bunnie was injured during Dr. Eggman's uprising and was partially roboticized to save her life. Adjusting to her new body, Bunnie joined the Freedom Fighters in the fight against the Eggman Empire, eventually committing to her life as a cyborg, and later married Antoine.

Aside from Bunnie, regular Pockies would over time also appear in the comics, first during Operation: Clean Sweep and later as fauna native to Sonic's World after the Super Genesis Wave.

Seasons of Chaos[]

One peaceful day on Angel Island, a local Pocky would play with other animals. Meanwhile, another Pocky found the blue Chaos Emerald, which it gladly handed over to Knuckles. Immediately after however, Metal Knuckles came and bowled over one of the Pockies while the other got frightened by the sight. During the subsequent battle between Knuckles and Metal Knuckles, one of the Pockies was put in danger when Metal Knuckles made a giant mushroom cave in above it. Fortunately, the Pocky was saved by Knuckles, although at the cost of allowing Metal Knuckles to snatch the Chaos Emerald in front of the other Pocky and escape with it.[10]

The Fate of Dr. Eggman[]
AnimalsFreed

Espio freeing a Pocky, from Sonic the Hedgehog #5.

After the Eggman War, a group of Pocky-powered Antons and Hoverbys attacked Windmill Village where an amnesiac Dr. Eggman had settled down in. The Pockies inside these Badniks were soon after freed though, after Sonic the Hedgehog and the Chaotix defeated the Badniks containing them.[11]

Infection[]

An unfortunate Pocky was later used by Dr. Eggman and Dr. Starline as a test subject for the Metal Virus in the Final Egg. As a part of this test, the Pocky was exposed directly to a batch of the Metal Virus, transforming it into a Zombot. On Eggman's orders, this Zombot Pocky proceeded to touch a Picky, causing the virus to infect the Picky too.[12] The Zombot Pocky was soon after used by Eggman for another Metal Virus experiment. As a part of the experiment, the Zombot Pocky was brought close to a partially infected Ricky whom the Zombot Pocky touched several times, causing the infection of the Ricky to spread faster. Once the Ricky had been fully transmuted, the Zombot Pocky was left in the Ricky's confinement cell.[13]

Early canon[]

Early on in the series, when all the Animals were renamed by Sega of America for the western regions in the Sonic Bible, Pocky's gender was defined as male and was named Rabbit in the bible's first draft.[14] Pocky would later be renamed Johnny Lightfoot in the bible's second draft.[15] Both bibles would say that Johnny comes from a large family like other Animals (which was intended to explain the appearance of multiple identical Pockies in the games) and helped raise an orphaned Sonic.[14][15][16][17]

Johnny in particular taught Sonic how to outrun every creature in the forest.[18][19] The guidebook Stay Sonic would later elaborate that Johnny Lightfoot was the sprint champion during his time before teaching Sonic to run at high speed.[20] However, this statement has never been brought back in any other media.
