Bell Tower: Difference between revisions

|location=Northeast [[Ecruteak City]]

The '''Bell Tower''' (Japanese: '''スズのとう''' ''{{wp|Suzu|Bell}} Tower''), known as the '''Tin Tower''' in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, is a location of [[Johto]] positioned in the northeast of [[Ecruteak City]]. {{p|Ho-Oh}} formerly perched at the top of this ten-story tower, but flew away after the [[Burned Tower|other tower]] in the west of Ecruteak City burned down mysteriously. It is considered a place of high sanctity among people in Johto, and not everyone is qualified to enter it.

Bellchime Trail is a short path in [[Ecruteak City]] that joins the Barrier Station [[gate]] and the Bell Tower. It does not exist in [[Generation II]] as a separate location, instead being considered part of Ecruteak City.

Tin Tower first appears in ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]''. Having been caught up in an earthquake that struck [[Ecruteak City]], [[Jasmine]] manages to climb to the top of the tower for her Ampharos, [[Amphy]], to send out a distress signal, but passes out when rubble falls on her. {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} both see Amphy's light, but Silver reaches Jasmine first. The tower begins to collapse, and Amphy is able to carry Jasmine out before the collapse traps both Gold and Silver in. The two end up working together to find a way out, and are then surrounded by [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s. After fending off the grunts and battling Gold himself, Silver tells Gold the reason behind the earthquake: that it would damage Tin Tower and catch the attention of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which his enemy is after.

A Buddhist temple in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|real world]] city of {{wp|Kyoto, Japan|Kyoto}} is known as {{wp|Ginkaku-ji}}. Unlike its counterpart, {{wp|Kinkaku-ji}}, which is covered in gold leaf, this temple is ''not'' covered in silver leaf, though this was originally intended. A statue of avian likeness rest atop each of the two real world towers.
