N's Castle

Pokémon Black and White

N's Castle rising from the ground

The castle can first be seen during the game intro cutscene, where Ghetsis crowns N as Team Plasma's king.

The castle appears after the player has defeated the Elite Four and entered the Champion's room to witness N's victory over Alder, rising from the ground and attaching itself to the Pokémon League building with multiple staircases, one of which appears in the Champion's room and grants the player access to the castle. As the player enters the first floor, six of the Seven Sages attempt to stop them. However, the Gym Leaders of Unova (with the exception of Cilan, Chili, and Cress, as Bianca was unable to reach them in time) intercept the surprise attack, allowing the player to proceed further into the castle.

On the second floor, a member of the Shadow Triad directs the player to a room where two women await them, introducing themselves as Anthea and Concordia. Anthea heals the player's party and Concordia tells the player about N's childhood. A room on the third floor contains a PC that will allow the player to rearrange the party as well. In the same room, Scientists plan to infiltrate the Pokémon Storage System to release the Pokémon from every Trainers' PC Boxes. Team Plasma Grunts are scattered about the other rooms of the building; however, unlike during their other encounters, they will not fight the player, instead celebrating victory or thinking of saying goodbye to their Pokémon. One of these Grunts will allow the player to return to the Pokémon League Pokémon Center, while another Grunt there will transport the player back to the castle, as the player cannot traverse through the Pokémon League again to get there. One Grunt reveals that the castle was being secretly built for several years by overworking Pokémon that were taken away from other Trainers.

N's room resides on the fourth floor. It is decorated in a childish manner, with cloud wallpaper and floor covering, as well as multiple toys scattered around, many of which can be interacted with. Some of them show signs of recent usage (such as the train set), while others denote usage by Pokémon as well as humans, such as the skating ramp, which is covered in claw marks and scratches. There is a home basketball hoop installed on the west wall, before which lies a basketball with the word "Harmonia" (N and Ghetsis's surname) inscribed on it.

Right before the final battle with N in his throne room on the top floor of the castle, Reshiram^B/Zekrom^W will emerge from its stone to battle the player. After the Legendary Pokémon is caught, the player has the option to add it to their party. This capture is forced, unless the player's party and PC Boxes are all full, in which case the Legendary Pokémon respawns at Dragonspiral Tower during the post-game.

During the battle with N, he uses the Legendary Pokémon opposite to the one caught by the player. After N is defeated, Ghetsis reveals that he was manipulating N and Team Plasma in order to achieve his own goals, and battles the player in order to silence them. Once Ghetsis has been defeated, he is escorted away by Cheren and Alder (although it is revealed during the post-game that the Shadow Triad later managed to free him before he could be taken into custody). N then flies away on his Legendary Pokémon, triggering the end credits. Following them, the castle disappears and becomes inaccessible.

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

The underground ruins of N's Castle can be accessed from a large cavern that is located within Victory Road. However, the entrance to the cavern is initially blocked by N's Zoroark. After the player has entered the Hall of Fame, Zoroark will stop blocking the entrance and lead the player to the castle.

After entering the castle, the player and N walk around the ruins. Only the fourth and fifth floors can be accessed, and the only accessible rooms in them are N's room and the throne room. In the throne room, N asks the player to battle him and his Zekrom^B2/Reshiram^W2. After the player defeats him, N reverts his dragon to its dormant state—the Dark Stone^B2/Light Stone^W2—and gives it to the player to summon Zekrom^B2/Reshiram^W2 at Dragonspiral Tower to catch.

After Zekrom^B2/Reshiram^W2 has been caught, N appears in Nimbasa City near the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel every Friday. After the player has ridden the ferris wheel with him and battled Kyurem in the Giant Chasm, he returns to his castle for a rematch, with his team varying depending on the current season.

In Black and White, the castle becomes inaccessible after Ghetsis is defeated, making the items inside inaccessible as well.

A Reshiram^B/Zekrom^W appears here as part of the story. If defeated or run from, it respawns immediately without leaving the area; however, if the player has a full party and PC Boxes, it will instead respawn at Dragonspiral Tower after defeating Ghetsis. It is coded to never be Shiny. After it is caught, the player will be given the option to swap it for a member of their party. If it is added to the party, it will be automatically moved to the first slot, causing it to be sent out first in the ensuing battle with N.
