Description
On the subject of N's unnerving playroom, notice how the tracks 'appear to have been played with recently'. N becoming more clear on his father's status as a delusional maniac and setting his mind on the pursuit of truth, regardless of whether this derails Ghetsis' meticulously set up plans or not. The train continuing back and forth the sealed off part of the track symbolises Ghetsis' determination and desperate desire to see his plan to completion. Even though he realises it's a dead end, he keeps on fruitlessly attempting to overcome the impassable obstacles set by his son.

In relation to the train in the basketball hoop, I see this as N's shift in focus. The basketball- labelled 'Harmonia'- is abandoned in favour of N trying new things, embracing new ideas, following his own path. Ghetsis Harmonia and his plot is no longer an important factor in N's decisions, also backed up by the other basketbell hidden in the colourful tyres, underneath a skateboard. The train in the basketball hoop can symbolise N's destructive frustration as he begins to realise his entire life has been carefully planned and formulated by a madman who cares nothing for him, and everything he's been taught and holds dear could end up being a lie fed to him solely for this purpose. Going back to the previous mention of Ghetsis being the train trapped in the now-incomplete circuit, the netted locomotive could even be hinting towards Ghetsis' growing frustration at his failures and the failures of his pawns, leading up to his climactic mental-breakdown immediately after you beat him. Similarly to the concept of playing basketball with a toy train, most of Ghetsis' actions, thought processes and desires are completely incomprehensible to the majority of society.

Finally, in regards to N's name, it seems his variable nature and potential to change was the true downfall to Ghetsis' plan(if one attributes Ghetsis' frequent verbal slip-ups to the writer's clear desire to shove his evil nature in your face). Had N's heart truly been set on the separation of Pokemon and people from start to finish(essentially, had he been the perfect pawn Ghetsis had attempted to fashion for himself), Ghetsis could have easily succeeded. The masses likely would have been willingly ruled over and oppressed by Ghetsis, completely brainwashed by his pretty words and mannerisms.
