You're kidding me, I hope Game Freak is just trolling us with this name, I was hoping it was "Nathaniel" or "Nicolai", but THIS!? This is just, need I say it, "Unnatural". I've heard of people named "Forest" and "Autumn" and "Christopher Columbus", and even one person called "Batman", but NATURAL!? Either Ghetsis has a cruel sense of humor, or Game Freak is trolling the fanbase...

Hey people Gropius isn't even english it's german so it doesn't come from Grope...Also natural makes sense seeing as N was natural to himself.Also something about the name's order is off...shouldn't Harmonia come last or first (if they are doing japanese name order) seeing how he shares the name with Ghetsis who is his father...unless Ghetsis full last name is actually two- Harmonia Gropius...

Natural Harmonia Gropius?? wth??????? What type of name is that!?!?!??!
How surprising =_____=. Natural I can get but Harmonia Gropius. What type of name is that. Sounds like nature groping or something. I feel bad for N since his dad has Bad sense in naming his children =__=. I thought that was his real name.. LOL WOW He's a prince that's why you how long their names are...
Edit: I wouldn't be surprise is Ghetsis and that Lady who's Zoroark was his parents.

Am I the only one pronouncing it like Tropius? The name is quite the mouthful, but it sounds awesome.
Maybe this is the reason why i've been seeing uncomfortable fanart around deviantART
I think the joke was it sounds like it has the word "grope" in it... we weren't insinuating that's actually what it means :P

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS. I just found the link between N's name!
Gropius designed the United States Embassy in Greece (noting that Unova is based on New York, aka US and therefore the last name is paying tribute to that in terms of relating to the other characters and the other part of his name @ Greek).
Harmonia is apart of Greek mythology.
Concordia, also on that page, is one of the two people raising N. Harmonia's Roman counterpart is Concordia. Anthea is under the guidance of Hera, the Greek God.
So yeah, N is Greek, not German. :x

Yeah I don't get where you guys got grope and Tropius from, I mean the latter is obvious but come one, we have bigger, and cleaner, minds than that xD
Nice work Nica! N does look Greek. This may also mean Concordia may be his mum?

My friend called me up and told me the news when it came out. It only made "Gropius" sound that much more awkward D:
So hopefully that since he's born from Pokemon, I fully expect to be able to catch him (and a shiny version of him) in the next game!
Or not -__-'

Oh, that's a very interesting find!, nica...
I wonder if Gamefreak plans to implement some Roman or Greek mythology into the third installment, or any future game for that matter. Nonetheless, that's for another discussion...
On another note, Ghetsis's (that's a mouthful) name seems to have some Greek origin as well - Ghetsis is a corrupt romanisation of ゲーチス, which is pronounced Gechisu (with emphasis on the e) apparently derives from the Greek word for sorcery.
