In me, the Fishmaster

OKAY, SO, EPILEPTIC TREE FOR POKÉMON B/W! I think I figured out why the letter N.

There might be a chess theme in Team Plasma. Not 100% accurate, but a good part of it. I assumed that the Harmonias just played too much Dungeons & Dragons or Zelda: A Link to the Past, LOL sages, but what if it's half of it? I think it could be valid, because what's the color of chess pieces? Yup, black and white! In algebraic chess notation, the letter N is the knight. This could be a hint of how the hierarchy of Team Plasma truly is in the shadows: the king is not a king but a knight, and the guy dressing like a rook isn't a rook at all, but both the king and the chessmaster.

And there's a movement involving king and rook called castling. They have a castle. Thar.

Iiiiiit's probably a coincidence, but I wish I knew why exactly an N from all letters.

J/K. They probably just ran a random generator from 1 to 26, because just one Latin letter sounds ~exotic~ and ~mysterious~. But then it makes me wonder, in-game, if he always was just called N or it's a codename for the king of Plasma. Maybe Ghetsis sucks at choosing baby names. Or his real name is so long, they shortened it to one letter out of laziness.

They both smile like creepers and have fluffy hair, it's meant to be!

AHAHA that pic

Maybe he's like Mandark, and his real name is Susan or something and so he's denied it forever. ... I don't think the issue of his name is ever addressed properly, really, which is a shame. Maybe they'll add more info in a future third version?

Except in this case, the child is the hippie one and the parent the pompous one XD I think his name must be something very villainous and evil and horribly embarrassing because if we trust Ghetsis' clothes taste to extend to other areas...

"So, Lord Nyarlathotep, what are your orders?"

"...C-call me just. Lord N, period."

"But son..."

"I'm the king now, aren't I? I can refuse my human name if I want to."

"...Whatever. As soon as he resurrects that thing, he's so kicked out of the house."

I'm now picturing them both at some kindergarden playing with rubik cubes

I'd be surprised if there wasn't fanart of that on Pixiv. And N/Shinji Ikari
