The '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is [[Johto]]'s premiere battle facility, located at the northernmost part of {{rt|40|Johto}}, west of [[Olivine City]].

As the first [[Battle Tower]] in the series, it introduced many of the special rules that would later be expanded upon for Battle Towers in [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], as well as the [[Battle Frontier]]s that eventually joined them. Later Battle Towers have tweaked the rules somewhat, and since {{game|Emerald}} have had a {{tc|Tower Tycoon}} in charge of them, much like a [[Gym Leader]] is in charge of a [[Gym]]. | |||
Its location is characteristic as it is built on the same landmass as the rest of the [[region]]. This contrasts with later Battle Towers, who are located on islands that can only be accessed by boat, or after having visited, by using {{m|Fly}}. It is also unique for being the only Battle Tower that the {{player}} can challenge before becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}. | |||
