N is one of the Team Plasma leaders in Black & White, but he isn't quite the head honcho of that group in Black & White, so I would kind of consider him more of like a semi-leader, as N still does still lead Plasma a little even with being one of your rivals in those games. I talked about N's character design in my rival blog rankings, so I'll just say that I still love the character design of N, and feel it stands out good enough among the other evil leader designs. As far as battling goes, most battles against N I would consider more just a rival battle than an evil team leader battle, but the end game battle against N after you beat the elite 4, I would consider to be like an evil leader battle and not a rival battle, so I'll talk about that battle here. For that final battle, N uses team of Carracosta, Vanilluxe, Archeops, Zoroark, Klinklang and one of Zekrom/Reshiram, depending on version, Zekrom in Black, Reshiram in White. So yea, he is definitely a challenging fight considering he uses one of the box legendaries, and Archeops can put a dent in your team as well, at least while it is at good health because of the Defeatist ability making it weaker when under half health. Overall, I still love N, and always will love N, but although I consider him an evil team leader, I wouldn't say he is a full out leader like the others remaining, as half the game is more just you battling N as a rival than a leader, so that's why I felt it was most fair to take out N here.
