Nimbasa City is Unova’s entertainment city, inspired by Coney Island: an amusement park with its Ferris wheel, a Musical Theater, two stadiums and the Battle Subway station. It is also here, at the very top of the Ferris wheel, that N will finally tell you who he is.

🚲The Bicycle
At the entrance to the city, Team Plasma is picking on the old man from the Route 3 Pokémon Day Care. Drive off the Grunt: his Watchog and Trubbish are Level 18. To thank you, the old man gives you the Bicycle (press Y to register it as a shortcut). Good news: the Day Care now takes two Pokémon, and therefore Eggs.
🎡N and the Ferris wheel
Team Plasma Grunts are running off into the amusement park, to the northeast. N is waiting for you there, offers to help you find them, then takes you into the Ferris wheel. Once you are at the top, he reveals the truth: he is the King of Team Plasma, and he is helping Ghetsis to “save Pokémon”. When you step off, his Grunts call him “Lord N” and he battles you to cover for them.
