N is an idealistic character who was first introduced in Black and White or Fifth generation Pokémon games as a rival to the player character. He advocates for releasing Pokémon from human control, believing that humanity has abused their powers for battle and practical uses. His ultimate goal is to create separate worlds for both Pokémon and humans. N possesses an exceptional ability to sense a Pokémon's emotions and thoughts through hearing their "voice." He forms a more intuitive relationship with Pokémon than he does with actual human beings. Additionally, N has a strong fascination with mathematical formulas and how they work together in harmony to create various things. One of his favorite pastimes is riding Ferris wheels because he enjoys the synchronized circular motion that results from multiple mathematical formulas working together.
He later reveals himself to be the leader, or "King," of Team Plasma at the Nimbasa Amusement Park to White(Manga) and to the Player (BW Games) in an attempt to distract White/The Player as some Team Plasma members escape. N becomes the primary antagonist for a majority of the story, as Team Plasma advances in their goal to release all Pokémon from human control.
