(Added mention of Hoenn's Trainer Hill, which essentially simplifies a simplification of the Battle Tower (the Trainer Tower) even further.) |

'''Battle Towers''' are special areas set up specifically for [[Pokémon battle]]s. Trainers register their Pokémon on the first floor and climb up the floors in a number of battles, fighting other Trainers one by one. There is no penalty for losing other than breaking the player's streak. From [[Generation III]] onward, there are a number of rules that can also be changed within the tower - such as fighting in [[Double Battle]]s{{tt|*|Pokémon Emerald onward}} against the other Trainers. Trainers sometimes battle for bragging rights, but they are often rewarded with rare items or points that can be used to buy rare items as well. | '''Battle Towers''' are special areas set up specifically for [[Pokémon battle]]s.

Battle Towers {{tt|are run|Pokémon Emerald onward}} by {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, who fulfill a similar role to that of [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]]. Trainers taking a Battle Tower challenge have a number of battles in a row, ending after seven wins, or when they lose. The Tower Tycoon will challenge them after certain winning streaks have been made. In [[Johto]]{{tt|*|HeartGold and SoulSilver only}}, [[Hoenn]]{{tt|*|Emerald only}} and [[Sinnoh]]{{tt|*|Platinum only}}, the Battle Tower is part of a larger [[Battle Frontier]]. In the [[Sevii Islands]], a smaller and simplified version of a Battle Tower can be found in [[Trainer Tower]]. | Battle Towers {{tt|are run|Pokémon Emerald onward}} by {{tc|Tower Tycoon}}s, who fulfill a similar role to that of [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]].

Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] in Battle Tower battles, while Trainers are awarded [[Battle Point]]s{{tt|*|Emerald onward, after defeating a set of seven Trainers}} instead of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. These points can be redeemed for items, in a shop usually located near the tower. Additionally, Pokémon not registered in the [[Pokédex]] will not be registered upon being seen in a Battle Tower. Pokémon cannot be above the level limit. From [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions]] onward, Pokémon that are above the level range will simply be {{tt|reduced|only if the Pokémon is above level 50}} to level 50 temporarily, the level of the Pokémon that the player will be facing. | Pokémon do not gain [[experience]] in Battle Tower battles, while Trainers are awarded [[Battle Point]]s{{tt|*|Emerald onward, after defeating a set of seven Trainers}} instead of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].
