Pokémon world locations

Brass Tower (Japanese: かねのとう Gold Tower), more often known in modern times as the Burned Tower (Japanese: やけたとう Burned Tower), is a location in Johto.

The Brass Tower, with gleaming silver-colored panels, was, according to legend, the perch of Lugia. Once as majestic as the Tin Tower, the Brass Tower was burned to the ground by a mysterious fire. This chased the two legendary Pokémon away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. Lugia left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the Whirl Islands, while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart.

Naming pun

Origin

A Buddhist temple in the real world city of Kyoto, covered in gold leaf, is known as Kinkaku-ji. Like Brass Tower, it was burned down; however, unlike it, it was reconstructed. The likeness of a Template:P2 rests atop the tower.
