* 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.

* Unlike most recurring characters, N battles with a completely different team in every appearance. This stems from his belief that Pokémon should not be used as tools, as every Pokémon he uses (except for the last battle against him) can be found in the surrounding area. | * Unlike most recurring characters, N battles with a completely different team in every appearance.
