-As a child, he was raised together with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and was isolated from [[human]]s. Ghetsis would only let N see Pokémon that had been hurt by humans. Based on the contents of his room in [[N's Castle]], as a child he appeared to be interested in skateboarding, transportation (such as planes and trains), basketball, and darts. He also had many brand new toys. Pokémon have played with his toys, as his skateboard is covered in claw marks and scratches. The [[Seven Sages]] educated him in many subjects.

Ghetsis manipulated N and Team Plasma to ensure that he was the only person in Unova with Pokémon so that he could dominate the region. Alder and Cheren both hear this. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away.

 ==Trivia==
 {{bulbanews|Junichi Masuda reveals information on N}}
+* N shares several similarities with [[AZ]] from the [[Generation VI]] games.
+** Both use names made up of just capital letters.
+** They both befriend the {{player}} at the end of the game.
+** Both of their identities are unknown until late in the game.
+** Both are related to the leaders of [[villainous teams]].
 * The cube hanging from N's belt is a sliding puzzle similar to a {{wp|Void Cube}}, and has been in his possession since childhood. It's one of many design elements reflecting the character's mathematical motif, and also resembles the first iteration of a {{wp|Menger sponge}}, a geometric figure that simultaneously has infinite surface area and zero volume.
 ** N's concept artwork and the accompanying notes indicate that the puzzle cube might have been relevant to the game's plot at one point and was going to show a central cube with a keyhole that would appear when the puzzle was solved<!--, locking away something mysterious in its core, which was implied to be a Pokémon-->.
@@ Line 1,397: / Line 1,600: @@
 * Over the course of the games he appears in, N uses Pokémon of 42 different {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}, more than any other NPC in the Pokémon games.
 * N is fought more times than any other villainous team leader. However, he uses the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|As a Trainer class|Pokémon Trainer}} class during his first two battles.
-* N speaks very quickly, as indicated by the fact that his dialogue is printed faster than that of other characters and by Cheren's comment upon first meeting him: "Slow down. You talk too fast"." Regardless of what speed the player has the dialogue set at, N's dialogue prints at the fastest speed. If the dialogue is set to "fast", N's speech will print even faster.

Regardless of what speed the player has the dialogue set at, N's dialogue prints at the fastest speed. If the dialogue is set to "fast", N's speech will print even faster, at a speed unique to him.
 * According to [[Junichi Masuda]], N is rumored to have been born from Pokémon.<ref name="Masuda blog 539 (English)">http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=201110</ref>
 * N is 1.80 m tall (5'11").
 * An article in the May 2013 edition of ''PASH!'' estimated that N is about 20 years old.
 * N's [[Trainer ID number]] is 00002.
+* N is the only [[core series]] {{cat|Villainous team leaders|villainous team leader}} introduced as of [[Generation VII]] to not appear in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. This is likely because he was only [[Team Plasma]]'s puppet leader, whereas [[Ghetsis]] is the true mastermind behind the organization.
+* N is the only person who is known to have turned down the chance to become a {{pkmn|Champion}}.
+* In Pokémon Black and White, N's Zekrom{{sup/5|B}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W}} is programmed to always use {{m|Fusion Bolt}}{{sup/5|B}}/{{m|Fusion Flare}}{{sup/5|W}} on the first turn of the final battle against N.
