Thomas0comer: /* Friendship Checker */ new section

Pokéradar?

Isn't that just one of the many functions? One of the... well, more minor functions? I haven't seen anything calling it the Pokéradar... And it looks like a watch anyway, why would it be radar? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 11:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, you're right. Pokéradar is the name for just the poketore, not the poketch.--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

== WTF?! ==

Pokéradar is Pokétore. Pokétch is Pokétch! Who did it? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Poké Radar (with space and capitalization) is a separate Key Item that isn't part of the Pokétch. I presume the ambiguity has something to do with people translating the Japanese version versus playing the English version. This confusion should be addressed; although, I'm not sure if Poké Radar deserves its own page, or just a brief mention on the grand Items list. --[[User:Czeano|Czeano]] 20:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Function descriptions ==

This is just a small idea, but is it okay if I add the ingame descriptions of the Pokétch's functions to the [[Pokétch#Functions|functions section]]? For instance (out of order):

===Trainer Counter===
"The Trainer Counter tracks the performance of the [[Poké Radar]]. It shows how often you have met the same kind of Pokémon in a row."

Received in [[Diamond and Pearl]] from [[Professor Oak]] upon entering [[Pal Park]].

===Marking Map===
"The Marking Map lets you mark intriguing locations. Drag marks to places on the map that you want to remember."

Received in [[Diamond and Pearl]] from the president of [[The Pokétch Company]] after obtaining the [[Badges#Cobble Badge|Cobble Badge]]. Not to be confused with the more in-depth [[Town Map]], it allows players to place different markings (●, ★, ■, ▲, ♥ and ◆) on locations, as well as the locations of the two Pokémon that travel around Sinnoh, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Mesprit}}, much like {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}} travelled [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} travelled [[Hoenn]].

===Digital Watch===
"The Digital Watch displays the current time. Don't be late for meetings with your friends!"

As its most basic feature, the Pokétch will display the time of day, much like the PokéGear of [[Johto]] had, only this time running in 24-hour format, instead of 12-hour AM/PM format. It runs off of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock, and through this, can keep track of the date of a Pokémon's capture as well as the time of day. There are two different watch functions, one [[wp:analog clock|analog]] and one [[wp:digital clock|digital]], though only the digital version is available from the beginning.

- [[User:Myuu151|RBYGSCRSFRLGEPD]] 20:19, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

:Hmmm... We'd have to make sure that it's distinct enough from the description so that people don't get the wrong idea and start putting "you" in every article. Maybe a three-bullet thing, have first the in-game description, then the way it is obtained, then a short description of the functions of the specific app. But I agree, there should be at least an in-game description for all of the apps, heck, all of the items, even. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 22:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

== An app that wasn't on here ==

There was an app on the poketch that wasn't on the article that I can't remember how it got on my poketch. It was after the calendar, and looked like a podium with three pokemon on it. I think it keeps track of the chains you get, but it's just a guess. Anyone else? [[User:Tyrogue|Tyrogue]]
:I have that app too. You get it from Professor Oak when you first go to Pal Park. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]] | [[User:Shiny Noctowl/Fun|Fun]] 12:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
:[[Pokétch#Trainer Counter|Trainer Counter]]. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 08:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

== Pictures ==
Can I upload pictures of all the Pokétch apps and add them to the page? --[[User:-Samu-|-Samu-]] 15:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
== Pedometer ==
Possible YouTube fad reference? (Hint: [http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=71519&search_type=&aq=0&oq=7151] [[User:ThePiplupGirl|ThePiplupGirl]] 14:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
:Same goes for Counter, which shows 9001, and references the over 9000 meme in the text below it. - [[User:Gold Dialga|Gold Dialga]]

== Stopwatch ==

I'm pretty sure I have this app on my Pearl, but I didn't get it from an event. I think I got it from the Klecon girl, by showing her a Snorlax. I'll see if I can find it. [[User:CorporalStone|CorporalStone]] 21:56, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

:You might be confusing the Stopwatch with the Kitchen Timer. The method you described using is pretty much the exact method one goes to obtain the Kitchen Timer. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 01:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

== Dot Artist Site ==

While in another Area of the Bulbapedia, it linked to a Game Freak Blog. It had the girl from Drill Dozer done in the style. I clicked it.. and found this page: http://secretbase.gamefreak.co.jp/dot_share/dot_parts.php [[User:Big Nutter|Big Nutter]] 20:21, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

== Friendship Checker ==

I got the friendship checker app right after entering Eterna city, I didn't have to clear the Galactic building first like the article says. Can anyone confirm this before I make the edit? [[User:Thomas0comer|Thomas0comer]] ([[User talk:Thomas0comer|talk]]) 13:54, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

'''Seasons''' are a mechanic of the Pokémon games. The concept was introduced in [[Generation V]].

Much as [[Generation II]] introduced [[time]] and [[days of the week]] to the Pokémon series, and [[Generation IV]] used the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock to keep track of the date of capture of a particular Pokémon, seasons are a new feature introduced in Generation V. However, seasons will not change in-game automatically; they will change only upon exiting a cave or building. Unlike in the real world, where each season lasts for approximately three sequential months, the seasons in Unova will change each month, going through the full cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter three times per year.

==Spring==
Spring occurs in January, May, and September.

===Effects===
*[[Time|Morning]] begins at 5:00 AM, while [[Time|Day]] lasts until 7:59 PM.

===Effects===
*[[Time|Morning]] begins one hour later, at 6:00 AM, while [[Time|Day]] lasts an hour shorter, until 6:59 PM.

**Due to snow piling up, certain areas can be accessed that are normally inaccessible, while certain cave entrances in Twist Mountain are covered by it.
*{{weather|Hail}} and {{weather|rain}} are common in [[Driftveil City]], [[Cold Storage]], {{rt|5|Unova}}, and [[Mistralton City]]. {{weather|Hail|Hail and blizzards}} are common in [[Icirrus City]] and {{rt|8|Unova}}.
*Some wild Pokémon encounter rates change.

*{{tc|Beauty}} December (if the player is {{ga|Nate|male}}) or {{tc|Guitarist}} January (if the player is {{ga|Rosa|female}}) is at the {{DL|Nimbasa City|Rondez-View Ferris Wheel}} in [[Nimbasa City]].{{sup/5|B2W2}}
* The water in the [[Castelia Sewers]] is drained.
* [[N]] will battle with his winter team at [[N's Castle]].{{sup/5|B2W2}}

==Trivia==
* As February is included among the months considered as summer, it is the shortest season on average. Where the other seasons each last a total of 92 days in a real-time year, summer lasts a total of 89 days or, in case of a {{wp|leap year}}, 90 days.
** Interestingly, this is true for the southern hemisphere summer, as the Earth is near perihelion. Summer lasts only approximately 89 days, while winter lasts closer to 94. The opposite is in effect for the northern hemisphere.
* When summer and winter start in the {{wp|northern hemisphere}} of the real world, the same season is in effect in-game. This is not true for spring and autumn, whereas it is spring in-game when autumn starts in real life and vice versa.
** The opposite is true for the {{wp|southern hemisphere}}: real-world spring and autumn start in months with their respective in-game seasons, while summer and winter start in in-game winter and summer respectively.
* In some countries, most notably in {{wp|North America}} and parts of {{wp|Europe}}, seasons start at {{wp|solstice}}s and {{wp|equinox}}es, rather than starting at the first day of a month as is the case in countries like {{wp|Australia}}. In such cases, all four seasons appear in-game in each real life season.
* Black and White, the first games to introduce this feature, were released during autumn in Japan, and the in-game season was spring. The international releases were released in what is generally considered to be spring in the northern hemisphere, and the in-game season was autumn.

==Trivia==
* As February is included among the months considered as summer, it is the shortest season on average. Where the other seasons each last a total of 92 days in a real-time year, summer lasts a total of 89 days or, in case of a {{wp|leap year}}, 90 days.
** Interestingly, this is true for the southern hemisphere summer, as the Earth is near perihelion. Summer lasts only approximately 89 days, while winter lasts closer to 94. The opposite is in effect for the northern hemisphere.
* When summer and winter start in the {{wp|northern hemisphere}} of the real world, the same season is in effect in-game. This is not true for spring and autumn, whereas it is spring in-game when autumn starts in real life and vice versa.
** The opposite is true for the {{wp|southern hemisphere}}: real-world spring and autumn start in months with their respective in-game seasons, while summer and winter start in in-game winter and summer respectively.
* In some countries, most notably in {{wp|North America}} and parts of {{wp|Europe}}, seasons start at {{wp|solstice}}s and {{wp|equinox}}es, rather than starting at the first day of a month as is the case in countries like {{wp|Australia}}. In such cases, all four seasons appear in-game in each real life season.
* Black and White, the first games to introduce this feature, were released during autumn in Japan, and the in-game season was spring. The international releases were released in what is generally considered to be spring in the northern hemisphere, and the in-game season was autumn.

== "Seasons will change every month in real time. " ==

This should be clarified. I don't think we have 12 seasons. →'''[[User:Axxonn|ΑΧΧΟΝΝ]][[User talk:Axxonn|fi]][[Special:Contributions/Axxonn|re]]''' 01:47, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

== Daytime begins and lasts an hour longer? ==

Wait, so, 3:00 AM is Morning, and it lasts until 10:00 AM, and then it's Day until 9:00 PM? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:Maybe it depends on the season! That'd be awesome, someone should verify. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 19:39, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
::That's what it said here. But I personally don't know, I haven't explored the game as much as some. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

== Time Jumping? ==

Has anyone tested if changing the internal Nintendo DS clock will work for this method? I really think that it's worth mentioning in this page. –'''[[User:MasterKenobi|Master]][[User talk:MasterKenobi|Kenobi]]''' 19:59, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:I believe Serebii mentioned that he tested it but nothing changed. Don't quote me on that. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 01:30, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::I tried changing the DS clock, the season remains the same, however. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 01:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
:::The season remains the same until you go into and out of an indoors area. Unlike the morning/day/night changes, it doesn't snap instantly. Probably because that'd be a lame transition at midnight of the last day of the month. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:44, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Not to mention the possibility of being stuck in a winter exclusive area for three months. I have also been able to change both seasons and time on my copy to confirm my suspicion on nights being longer in winter. —[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 00:53, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::So it IS possible to get stuck in a winter only area, I imagined that game freak would have thought of that and made some of those one way ledges to get down.--[[User:Celibi25|Celibi25]] 23:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

We may need a list of pokemon that changes encounter rate etc. Anyone? {{unsigned|Icy}}

== Casteliacones available during winter in BW2 ==

I have found in BW2 that Casteliacones can be bought in Winter as well. Should the mention of BW2 be removed from the entries on Casteliacones? If so, should it be noted somewhere that the season doesn't matter in BW2? Or should something be added to winter to indicate that the cones can be bought then?

'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Abra}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Alakazam is characterized by its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|human-like structure}} and its large mustache (which is less prominent in females - see below). It has grown slightly since evolving from {{p|Kadabra}} and has become much lankier. Alakazam now has brown sections over its forearms and knees. It has lost the {{wp|Zener cards|Zener markings}} and the tail it had as a Kadabra. Its head (and more importantly, its brain) has become much larger, giving it extremely powerful mental powers. It is bipedal with three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw. It wields a silver spoon in each hand, each of which acts as an amplifier for its special abilities.

====Gender differences====
A female has a significantly shorter mustache.

===Special abilities===
It is said that Alakazam is known to have mastered every type and form of psychic ability, including, but not limited to: telekinesis, telepathy, ESP, psionic abilities, levitation, defensive techniques, mind control, and telekinetic blasts. Alakazam are said to have excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} since hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000, making it the most intelligent non-legendary Pokémon. Upon possessing amazing psychic skills and knowledge, Alakazam is proficient with the use of the elemental punches, giving it the ability to cause serious damage to any foe that resist its psychic moves. Although Alakazam is quite fragile and prefers to use its psychic abilities for movement and battle, it is quite capable of learning a broad range of fighting moves. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Alakazam is capable of using the moves {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

Alakazam, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}} and the only known Pokémon to learn {{m|Ally Switch}} without the aid of a [[TM]].

===Behavior===
Each Alakazam carries two spoons everywhere it goes. These spoons are said to increase this Pokémon's psychic ability greatly.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Alakazam live in urban areas, close to humans. They are mostly found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. Its home range is the same as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Kadabra}}.

==Trivia==
* Alakazam weighs less than its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}. Its Pokédex entries offer a possible explanation as to why this is: Alakazam's brain increases in size upon evolution so that it has to move its body using psychic energy, which would cause its muscles to weaken and atrophy because it never uses them. This could also be due to {{p|Kadabra}} having a large tail and Alakazam not.
* Although it doesn't have a tail, Alakazam is able to learn the move {{m|Iron Tail}}, possibly due to its pre-evolutions having tails.
* Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. They are both in all regional Pokédexes (excluding the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova dex]]). Their evolutionary families are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will trade her Abra for a Machop.
* Despite being said to have weak muscles (as well as a low {{stat|Attack|Attack stat}}), Alakazam has been seen using physical attacks, such as {{m|Focus Punch|punching}}, many times in the anime, [[Anime physics|usually to great effect]].
** This may be because before the Physical/Special split in Generation IV, [[Fire_Punch|the]] [[Ice_Punch|elemental]] [[Thunder_Punch|punches]] were all special moves.
* Alakazam has the lowest average [[Performance]] of any fully-evolved Pokémon, and third lowest overall, only beaten by {{p|Gulpin}} (second) and {{p|Feebas}} (first).
* In {{2v|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* In {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Alakazam is the same height as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Alakazam is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Alakazam is an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, similar to ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''.

Foodin can be spelled ''Houdin'' and is probably a reference to {{wp|Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin}} or {{wp|Harry Houdini}}, who were both famous magicians, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics.

'''Aron''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ココドラ''' ''Cokodora'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Lairon}} starting at [[level]] 32, which evolves into {{p|Aggron}} starting at level 42.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Aron has a round body, four stubby legs, and a large, round head. Its body is dark gray and its eyes are a pale blue. Portions of steel armor cover its head, legs, and back, which has a single spike on it. Throughout Aron's body are small openings in the armor: six on its head (three on either side), with the two largest being openings for its eyes, and one on either side of the spike on its back. A new suit of armor is made when it evolves. The old, discarded armor is salvaged as metal for making iron products.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
With one all-out charge, this Pokémon can demolish even a heavy dump truck.

===Behavior===
To make its body, Aron feeds on iron ore that it digs from mountains. Occasionally, hunger may drive it to descend from the mountains to eat bridges and rails, which may produce some same major trouble and cause it to be viewed as a pest.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
It usually lives deep within mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Aron eats metal, which sometimes leads it to eating bridges, rails, and other important items.

==In the anime==
[[File:Steven Aron.png|right|thumb|An Aron in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Aron first appeared in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}} and {{TRT}} got themselves lost in a cave full of the Iron Armor Pokémon. {{Steven}} who also owns one, helped pass through the cave.

===Minor appearances===
Aron, together with its [[evolution|evolutionary family]] {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Lairon}}, appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' where it helped [[Ash's friends]] to stop the glacier. The group appeared again in the credits, where they were seen eating the ruins of the [[Megarig]].

An Aron appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and several Aron appeared in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''

==Trivia==
* Aron's name is an anagram of {{b|Oran}}; it is the only Pokémon whose name is an anagram of a Berry.
* Aron does not learn any Rock-type moves by leveling up, though it is part Rock type. Its entire evolutionary family shares this trait.

===Origin===
Based on the fact that it eats iron, it may be based on the ''{{wp|Pulgasari}}'', a monster which eats iron in Korean legend.

====Name origin====
Aron may be a combination of ''armor'' and ''{{wp|iron}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|armadillo}}''.

Cokodora is a combination of 子 ''ko'' (child) and ''Kodora'' ({{p|Lairon}}'s Japanese name). ''Kodora'' may be a combination of 巨 ''ko'' (large) and ''dragon''.

==In other languages==

'''N''' (Japanese: '''Ｎ（エヌ）''' ''N'') is a character in {{game|Black and White|s}}. He is the leader of [[Team Plasma]] and aspires to create separate worlds for [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. His full name was revealed to be '''Natural Harmonia Gropius''' (Japanese: '''ナチュラル・ハルモニア・グロピウス''' ''Natural Harmonia Gropius'').<ref name="Masuda blog 539">http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=539</ref>

==In the games==
[[File:Young N.png|left|thumb|N as a child]]
[[File:NClose.png|256px|right|thumb|A close-up of N in [[N's Castle|his castle]] after the final battle]]
N was raised by [[Ghetsis]], the internal leader of the [[Seven Sages]]. As he grew up, he was appointed as the king and leader of [[Team Plasma]]. He is an anti-villain, being the primary antagonist, yet a good natured person who sees Pokémon as his friends and is generally rather amicable toward the {{player}} as well. According to [[Anthea and Concordia|Concordia]], "N's heart is pure and innocent." At several points during the game he appears before the player to battle.

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, {{tt|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.

In Black and White, N is first seen in the game's prologue movie, in which N, clothed in special garb, is crowned by Ghetsis in the throne room of a castle. During the ceremony, as the other Sages watch, N remembers his childhood spent with his Pokémon friends.

The player first meets N in [[Accumula Town]] after Team Plasma's public rally and Ghetsis's speech, where he challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]]. He again appears outside of the [[Nacrene Gym]], for another battle, and later at [[Nimbasa City]], where he asks the player to talk to him while riding the city's Ferris Wheel. During this excursion, N reveals that he is the leader of Team Plasma; Ghetsis had asked him to assist him in Team Plasma's liberation of Pokémon. It is confirmed after the ride, when a group of Plasma Grunts address him as their leader, and he battles the player to allow them time to get away. He is again encountered at the [[Chargestone Cave]], where he battles the player, and lastly, the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he found {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} for his plans.

When the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}, after beating the [[Elite Four]], the player finds N with [[Alder]], the {{pkmn|Champion}}, arguing over the use of Pokémon as tools. When the player arrives, N summons [[N's Castle|his Castle]] from the earth, which attaches itself to the Pokémon League, and as he enters the Castle, he challenges the player to face him. [[Cheren]] arrives, and he and Alder ask the player to stop him.

Within the castle's throne room, N tells the player that his goal is to create separate worlds for both humans and Pokémon, saying that he is willing to battle even if his Pokémon are hurt. To combat the player, he summons {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}. As N's dragon appears, the player's {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Light Stone|Light}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Dark Stone|Dark}}{{sup|W}} Stone is revived into the opposing dragon, and N encourages the player to battle it.

Once the dragon is caught, N will challenge the player. After N is defeated, Ghetsis appears and reveals he revived {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} for N to use, calling him a disappointment. Team Plasma's motive for stealing Pokémon—separate worlds—is shown to be a lie. 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.

After the battle, N apologizes, walks to a hole to outside on edge of the throne room, releases his legendary Pokémon, and bids a final farewell to the player. Then, after the credit-roll, an epilogue movie plays in which {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}, with N on top, hovers above the clouds and, activating its tail's engine, accelerates away.

After the player finds the other six Sages for [[Looker]], Looker says that he has heard that N was seen in a distant land with a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
{{incomplete|section}}
'''At [[Accumula Town]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Your Pokémon... Just now, it was saying..."''
:''"Yes, they're talking. Oh. Then, you two can't hear it, either... How sad. My name is N."''
:''"The [[Pokédex]], eh? So... You're going to confine many, many Pokémon in [[Poké Ball]]s for that, then. I'm a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, too, but I can't help wondering... Are Pokémon really happy that way?"''
:''"Well, <player>, is it? Let me hear your Pokémon's voice again!"''

*After taking a hit
:''"More! Let me hear the voice of your Pokémon!"''

*After being defeated
:''"I never expected to hear Pokémon say such things..."''

*After the battle
:''"As long as Pokémon are confined in Poké Balls... Pokémon will never become perfect beings. I have to change the world for Pokémon, because they're my friends."''

'''At [[Nacrene City]]'''
:''"I... want to see things no one can see. The truths of Pokémon inside Poké Balls. The ideals of how Trainers should be. And a future where Pokémon have become perfect... Do you feel the same?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That so? I think my friends and I should test you to see if you can see this future, too."''
::'''No''': ''"Huh. I expected more from you. Now pay attention. My friends and I will test you to see if you can see this future, too."''

*After being defeated
:''"I cannot see the future yet... The {{pkmn|world}} is still to be determined..."''

*After battle
:''"Right now, my friends aren't strong enough to save all Pokémon. Maybe I can't solve the equation that will change the world. So, I need power... Power enough to make anyone agree with me."''
:''"Now I know what power I need. {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! The [[legendary Pokémon]] that, along with the hero, created the [[Unova]] region. It's my turn to become that hero--and you and I will be friends!"''

'''At [[Nimbasa City]]'''
:''"You're looking for Team Plasma, right? They ran into the amusement park. Come with me."''
:''"They're not here. Let's ride the Ferris wheel and see if we can spot them. I love Ferris wheels… The circular motion… The mechanics… They're like collections of elegant formulas."''
:''"First, I must tell you... I am the king of Team Plasma. Ghetsis asked me to work with him to save Pokémon. I wonder how many Pokémon exist in this world."''
:''"There's no problem. You're part of the people we brought in to help us save the Pokémon. So, you're under my protection, as well. Go, quickly, and let my battle cover your retreat. ...Now then, <player>, do you follow my logic?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"If true, your words please me."''
::'''No''': ''"So that's how it is... That's unfortunate."''
:''"Ah. Then... The future I envision... Perhaps I can't beat you here and now, but I'll battle you to buy time for these members of Team Plasma to get away!"''

*After the first move
:''"Your Pokémon look happy."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Even if I lose, is it different than the future I envision?"''

*Upon defeat
:''"The result was the same… But you…who are you?"''

*After battle
:''"You're quite strong. But I have a future that I must change. And, for that future... I'll defeat the Champion and become unbeatable, unlike any other! I'll make all Trainers free their Pokémon! Just try and stop me! If you want to be together with Pokémon, your only hope is to collect the Badges from each area and head for the Pokémon League! Try and stop me there, if you dare! If your conviction is not strong enough, you will never be able to defeat me."''

'''At [[Chargestone Cave]]'''
:''"Ah, yes. That was the [[Shadow Triad]], just now. [[Ghetsis]] enlisted them in [[Team Plasma]]. Apparently, they were the ones who prepared the {{p|Galvantula}} nest at the cave entrance."''
:''"Chargestone Cave... I like this place. Formulas express {{t|electric}}ity and its connection to Pokémon... If people did not exist, this would be an ideal place. You have been chosen, you know. Does it surprise you I said that?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Of course. Such news should be a surprise."''
::'''No''': ''"Hmph. If you don't understand what that means, it's not likely to surprise you."''
:''"I told Ghetsis about you and your friends. After I did, he apparently used the Shadow Triad to find out about you. [[Cheren]] is pursuing the ideal of strength. Poor [[Bianca]] has faced the sad truth that not everyone can become stronger. And you are not swayed either way--more of a neutral presence. Which is apparently a good thing. Team Plasma will be waiting for you ahead. Ghetsis wants to see what kind of Pokémon Trainer you really are."''

*Before battle
:''"Many different values mix together, and the world becomes gray... That is unforgivable! I will separate Pokémon and people, and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|black and white]] will be clearly distinct! Only then will Pokémon become perfect beings! Yes, that is my dream! That is the dream I must fulfill! <player>, do you have a dream of your own?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"You have a dream... That's wonderful. I'll learn just what kind of dream you have--in battle!"''
::'''No''': ''"As if a person without a dream could ever understand me! Eh... I guess... I have to crush your will here!"''

*After takes a hit
:''"Do you believe that [[Pokémon battle]]s help us understand one another?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"I will show you that my love for my friends permeates every cell of my body. Behold!"''

*Upon defeat
:''"My friends getting hurt... That's what a Pokémon battle is."''

*After battle
:''"Tsk! Why? Is it impossible for me to win while feeling bad about being a Trainer? As if I could pursue my ideals with something as meaningless as a battle! As if that could make me worthy to become friends with the [[legendary Pokémon]]!"''

:''"[[Professor Juniper]], what are you thinking? You appear to have no qualms about the relationship between Pokémon and people. You put Pokémon into categories using arbitrary rules and think you can understand them like that... The very idea of a Pokédex revolts me. What do you have to say for yourself?"''

:''"You're saying I should just allow people to think whatever they want and treat Pokémon however they want, no matter whether the Pokémon suffer? I refuse to tolerate the existence of a world like that!"''

'''At [[Mistralton City]]'''
:''"They may say it is for understanding one another better, but what Trainers really use battles for is to compete... And they hurt each others' Pokémon! Am I the only one who finds this terribly painful? Whatever... I'm going to talk to your Pokémon. I've been living with Pokémon since I was born, so it's easier for me to talk with them than with people. ...Because Pokémon never tell lies."''
:''"Hey, <lead Pokémon>. Would you tell me what kind of Trainer <player> is?"''
:''"OK, OK, got it. So <player> was born in [[Nuvema Town]], lives with [[Mom]], and was given the Pokédex to start off a journey to see the world. Still, this <lead Pokémon> trusts you for some reason. That's good! If every person and Pokémon cared about one another like you two do, I could watch over the future of people and Pokémon without having to liberate Pokémon from people who just use them."''
:''"Ghetsis is using Team Plasma to search for some special stones--the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Light Stone}} and the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Dark Stone}}... These stones hold the essence of two legendary Pokémon. It is said that when they lost their physical form, they fell into a slumber and were transformed. Now, they wait for the hero's arrival... I shall resurrect a legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon from one of these stones, and become its friend. That will show the world that I am the new hero. Everyone will follow what I say!"''
:''"My vision is to change the world without using force. Trying to change the world by force will just make others resist. If people resist, the ones that will be hurt are the innocent Pokémon used by foolish Trainers. You understand. Pokémon are not just tools for people to use!"''
:''"As a result... Pokémon and Trainers who care about one another, like you and your Pokémon, will be separated. And that does break my heart a little."''

'''At [[Dragonspiral Tower]]'''
:''"What do you think, <player>? How do you like the powerful{{sup|Bl}}/beautiful{{sup|W}} form of the Pokémon who appears before and fights beside the hero that will lead the way to a new world?"''
:''"Now, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} and I will head to the Pokémon League and defeat the Champion! This will be the last of the Pokémon battles that hurt Pokémon so. A world for Pokémon alone... It's finally going to be a reality."''
:''"If you want to stop me, you must become a hero as well! That's right! When Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}'s counterpart, Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}, recognizes you, we will finally be even, and then you can try to stop us!"''
:''"Well, what will you do? My prediction... If the future that I see is true, you will meet Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}. The Pokémon with you believe in you so strongly... Will you be the one who interferes with my formula for changing the world? If you want to protect the bonds between Pokémon and people, you must search for Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}! I'm sure it is waiting for you in the form of the Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}."''

'''At [[Pokémon League]]'''
:''"It's over! Never again will Pokémon be made to suffer or be held captive by humans. It's all thanks to my friend, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! You may have the title of Champion… But you can't stop me with just a title. Your soft heart has left you weak. Years ago, you lost your Pokémon, your partner, to sickness. In order to forget the pain in your heart, you wandered Unova… Who knows how long it's been since you've had to fight with your full strength? I actually kind of like that about you, though. As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion, I shall issue an order across Unova: Trainers of the world, free your Pokémon!"''
:''"You and I both put our beliefs on the line and fought with all our strength. And I won. Do not say another word."''
:''"...I've been waiting. In the future I envisioned, you obtained a stone. And, indeed, you have. That Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}... {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} is responding to it. Stop. This is not a suitable for the legendary dragons! From the ground, rise up! The castle of Team Plasma! Surround the Pokémon League!"''
:''"What has just appeared is Team Plasma's castle. The king's words will resound from the heights to all below. You must come to the castle, as well. Everything will be decided there. Whether Pokémon will be liberated from people, or whether Pokémon and people will live together… We will see whose belief is stronger... And our result will change the world."''

'''At [[N's Castle]]'''
:''"What I desire is a world for Pokémon, and Pokémon alone. I will separate Pokémon from people, so Pokémon can regain their original power."
:''"It's time to settle this once and for all! My determination is absolute! I will prove the value of my beliefs even if it means my Pokémon friends get hurt! Since you've come this far, I believe you are equally determined. If that's so, prove it to me! Show me the depth of your determination!"''
:''"You came all this way to battle me… But {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} is not responding. You haven't yet been recognized as the hero, have you? How disappointing. I actually kind of liked you a little. Through our many battles, I got the feeling that you might be a Trainer who truly cares for Pokémon!"''
:''"But I was kidding myself. The idea of Trainers getting to know each other through battles is ridculous! You have two options. Challenge me to a fight you can't win, or leave this place and watch the birth of a new world where Pokémon are free of people! {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! Come to me!"''
:''"Your Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}} is… I mean, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} is…"''
:''"Zekrom and Reshiram… They were once one life. One Pokémon. Complete opposites, yet the same. Zekrom and Reshiram are Pokémon that appear before the hero they recognize. Ah… I see. You really are a hero, too. I'll tell you what that Pokémon is saying to you. "I want to battle with you. Try to make me your friend and ally." It plans to test you to see if you are really pursuing truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}. I, also, am curious to see how powerful you are. Now, catch {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} and make it your ally!"''
:''"Ah… I see. {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, who is said to lend its power to the hero who searches for truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}, has recognized your power and now agrees to stand by your side…"''
:''"Hold on. Your Pokémon are hurt. There is no triumph to be gained in battling a weakened opponent."''
:''"Now, I will create the future I desire! I shall sweep you before me!"''

*First hit
:''"Do you really think you can stop us with that?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"My last friend… Please share your courage with me!"''

*Upon defeat
:''"Everything's ruined. The ideals{{sup|Bl}}/truth{{sup|W}} I held… The dreams Pokémon shared…"''

*After battle
:''"… … {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} and I were beaten. Your truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}… Your feelings… They were stronger than mine, it seems… Reshiram and Zekrom… Each of them choosing a different hero… Is that even possible? Two heroes living at the same time— one that pursues truth and one that pursues ideals. Could… Could they both be right? I don't know. It's not by rejecting different ideas, but by accepting different ideas that the world creates a chemical reaction. This is truly the formula for changing the world."''
:''"But…I have no right to be the hero!"''
:''"Acting like you understand… Up till now, we've been fighting each other over our beliefs! Yet, despite that… Why?!"''
:''"I want to talk to you about something."''
:''"It's about when I first met you in Accumula Town. I was shocked when I heard what your Pokémon was saying. I was shocked because that Pokémon said it liked you. It said it wanted to be with you."''
:''"I couldn't understand it. I couldn't believe there were Pokémon that liked people. Because, up until that moment, I'd never known a Pokémon like that. The longer my journey continued, the more unsure I became. All I kept meeting were Pokémon and people who communicated with one another and helped one another. That was why I needed to confirm my beliefs by battling with you. I wanted to confront you hero-to-hero. I needed that more than anything."''
:''"There's no way a person like me, someone who understands only Pokémon— No, actually… I didn't understand them, either. No way could I measure up to you, when you had met so many Pokémon and were surrounded by friends…"''
:''"The Champion has forgiven me, and… What I should do now is something I'll have to decide for myself."''

*In Black:
::'''Yes at [[Chargestone Cave]]''': ''"<Player>! You said you have a dream… That dream… Make it come true! Make your wonderful dream a reality, and it will become your truth! <Player>! If anyone can, it's you! Well, then… Farewell!"''
::'''No at [[Chargestone Cave]]''': ''"Dream your dream! Follow the path of truth to make that dream a reality, and someday you will achieve all that you dreamed of! Well, then... Farewell!"''

*In White:
::'''Yes at [[Chargestone Cave]]''': ''"<Player>! You said you have a dream… That dream… Make it come true! Wonderful dreams and ideals give you the power to change the world! If anyone can, it's you! <Player>! Well, then… Farewell!"''
::'''No at [[Chargestone Cave]]''': ''"Dream your dream! Then, pursue the ideals to make that dream a reality, and someday you will achieve all that you dreamed of! Well then… Farewell!"''

[[File:N Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|N as he appears in Pokémon Adventures]]
N makes his first appearance standing near an [[Xtransceiver]] commercial shooting after {{adv|Black}} manages to save it from being attacked by a wild {{p|Galvantula}}. He sheds tears over the fact that Pokémon are being used for purposes such as acting.

He later appears in [[Accumula Town]] where he confronts and battles Black. He expresses his disgust with the Pokédex to Black and claims that Trainers lock up his "friends" in Poké Balls just so that it can fill the Pokédex, making them nothing more than a source of information to fill the Pokédex with information. Eventually, Black's [[Tep]] manages to defeat his Tympole, and N decides to take his leave after learning that there are Pokémon that enjoy the company of Trainers. After leaving, Black reveals that N isn't really a bad person after his [[Musha]] ate his dream and revealed it to him.

Later, at [[Nimbasa City]], N knocks {{adv|White}} into one of the ferris wheel cars and climbs into it. After a brief talk, N forces White's [[Gigi]] to fight his Servine. After Gigi wins, N concludes that White had been neglecting Gigi's battle skills. When White tries to escape, she is shocked to see Gigi side with N instead of her and falls hard to ground below. As the two watch from the Ferris wheel, N sends his Servine to White's aid.

===In the Pokémon BW manga===
N appears in every chapter of [[Pokémon BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]] as the king of [[Team Plasma]], known for harshly punishing any failure by grunts and wishing to turn [[Unova]] into a country inhabited only by Pokémon. He is first seen wearing a cape in atown in Unova, where he is approached by Shin who asks him for a battle, impressed by his {{p|Purrloin}}. He responds that he is not a Pokémon Trainer, but merely a Traveler. Several Team Plasma grunts then appear and snatch up his Purrloin, not realising that he is their boss. Shin is angry about them stealing Pokémon, but N states that he should not get involved because it'd be dangerous for him, but Shin replies that he doesn't mind.

As they follow the grunts, N questions Shin's reasons for desperately trying to rescue his Purrloin if he is just a Pokémon Trainer who uses Pokémon as tools, to which he replies that travelling together with a Pokémon is just more fun. N overhears a pair of {{p|Pidove}}s talking, to which Shin begs N to teach him how to understand Pokémon language, leading N to call him an odd Pokémon Trainer.

Catching up with Togari in a rocky plateau, he wonders why humans give orders to Pokémon to make them hurt each other, and tells Shin he is just saving Pokémon to make himself feel good, which he rejects, stating that being with a Pokémon is more fun for both the Trainer and the Pokémon as N hears Shin and his {{p|Tepig}}'s voices in unison.
N feels that Shin is stirring some emotion within him, saying that Shin really is an odd Pokemon trainer for getting Purrloin back for him, and Shin decides to travel together with N as his journey will be more fun if they're together.

The second chapter starts as Shin and N are trying to return a {{p|Blitzle}} to its {{p|Zebstrika}} herd, but though having being asked to by the Blitzle, the Zebstrika are too scared to think because they are humans. N, realising this when Shin attacks with his {{p|Pignite}}, jumps in the way and takes the attack instad, getting severely burned upon his arms. He says that despite being in pain, it's fine if to stop a Pokémon from being hurt, explaining his dream to create a world where Pokémon can live happily by using the power of legendary Pokémon.

Shin replies that it's a dream he'll support too, but N advises him to find his own dream. As they arrive at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], N and Shin are separated by a falling piller. N suggests that they should each make their separate way to the top floor where the legendary Pokémon resides, but as Shin tries to ascend the tower, he is met by Togari who blocks him upon the orders of his "King"—to give him time to befriend Zekrom.

Finally, Shin arrives, and is surprised that no-one is there but N. N introduces Shin to his new friend who will fulfill his dream, {{p|Zekrom}}, this time stating in full that his dream is to free Pokémon from foolish humans and create a place they can live happily by making a country just for Pokémon. Shin realises his dream is the same as the dream of the "King" of [[Team Plasma]], to which N replies is him himself, and argues that there is no other choice as the world as it exists just gets Pokémon hurt. As he flies off upon Zekrom's back, he tells Shin that though he despises humans, Shin alone he'll allow to live in the world he creates.

In chapters three and four N is shown standing on the rubble of the Pokémon League having defeated the Elite Four and states [[Alder]] is next; and is explained by Alder that N told him that nobody but a Pokémon Trainer by the name of Shin could stand up to him, and sent Alder to help him become the Hero of Fire by controlling Reshiram.

In the final chapter Shin arrives at the secret headquarters of [[Team Plasma]], [[N's Castle]] to fight N. N decides that Shin is after all just another human who cannot hear the weeping voices of Pokémon, summoning Zekrom to do battle and easily defeating Shin, saying that the strength of the legendary Pokémon depend on how strong their hero's ideal or truth is, with his being the strongest having heard the weeping voices of Pokémon for so long, and the pain of separation will be only an instant of pain among a future free of it, as while humans live together with Pokémon, there will always be Pokémon hurt and crying somewhere.

Shin replies that if he was a real hero he'd save everyone, not just Pokémon, to which N replies that if that is true, show him his resolution through Reshiram. However, Shin gets defeated again, with him and Reshiram getting trapped under rubble, and {{p|Emboar}} unable to produce a flame. Yet he proclaims that he'll never give in until the very end, and Reshiram sets Emboar's fist on fire with its flame, to give it the power to attack through Zekrom's shield of thunder. However, as Emboar attempts to punch through it, instead it combines with the flame on his fist to become a piece of the Original Pokémon's power, a ball of flaming thunder, and Shin states that while N may be strong alone, Emboar's power now is a power they have only created by everyone working together, and Emboar punches out Zekrom.

Some time later, N lies together with Shin on the roof of his castle, realising that perhaps the world is not as black and white as he calculated, and that he will disband Team Plasma and rework his ideals over again from the start. Admitting that he too enjoyed their battle, he bids farewell to Shin as he flies off on Zekrom, wishing that perhaps one day they may meet and battle again.

====Pokémon====
N refuses to call the Pokémon he befriends "his Pokémon," instead naming them "his friends."

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Junichi Masuda reveals information on N}}
* The cube hanging off of N's belt is the first iteration of a {{wp|Menger sponge}}, a geometric figure that simultaneously has infinite surface area and zero volume. It could also be a {{wp|Void Cube}}, which has a similar appearance.
* N, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] are the only Trainers in {{v2|Black and White|s}} with animated battle sprites.
* Unlike most recurring characters, N battles with a completely different team in every appearance (except for his {{p|Klinklang}}, which may have evolved from the {{p|Klink}} from the fourth battle). This may stem 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.
* N is the only Trainer from a [[Version|main series]] game not fought in a [[Battle Tower]] or [[Battle Frontier]] to use a [[legendary Pokémon]] on his team, and the only Trainer to use an [[event Pokémon]].
* N uses 15 of the 17 types of Pokémon, only not using Pokémon of the {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Ironically, Poison-type Pokémon are often used by members of villainous teams.
* N is fought more times than any other villainous team leader. However, he uses the [[Pokémon Trainer#As a Trainer class|Pokémon Trainer]] class during his first two battles.
* N is the only villainous team leader who keeps his Japanese name.
* 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." He also speaks of metaphors about formulas and equations, another possible reference to the Menger sponge.
