The '''[[Battle Tower]]''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') in [[Generation II]] was the first [[Battle Tower]] in the Pokémon games, debuting in {{game|Crystal}}. It is [[Johto]]'s premiere [[battle facility]], located at the northernmost part of {{rt|40|Johto}}, west of [[Olivine City]].


Johto's '''Battle Tower''' is located on {{Rt|40}}, west of [[Olivine City]]. It only appears in {{g|Crystal}} and is separated from the route by a gatehouse. After winning seven battles in a row, the player will be awarded with five of one of the following: {{DL|Vitamin|Calcium}}, {{DL|Vitamin|Carbos}}, {{DL|Vitamin|HP Up}}, {{DL|Vitamin|Iron}}, {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}}.
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 Battle Towers introduced later. One addition, introduced in {{game|Emerald}}, that the Battle Tower in Crystal lacks is a leader who is in charge of the Battle Tower. Another difference with later Battle Towers is that the Battle Tower in Pokémon Crystal is built on the same landmass as the rest of the [[region]] and may be challenged before the {{player}} has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. The Battle Tower in Crystal also allows any [[Legendary Pokémon]] to participate, though later [[generation]]s would ban many of them.


==Rules==
In the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal, the Battle Tower utilizes the [[Mobile System GB]].
*Trainers may only use 3 Pokémon.
*They must all be less than or equal to the level challenged (which are in intervals of 10).
*They cannot hold the same item.
*Trainers can't use items.
*If the game is turned off during a challenge without saving, the challenge will be declared invalid and the player is disqualified and will be returned to the lobby.
*{{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}} are only allowed to enter when the selected level is 70 or higher.
*Similar to other Battle Towers, {{pkmn|Eggs}} are not allowed to enter.


==Levels==
==In the games==
Pokémon can be as high as the level chosen, but no higher.
The original Battle Tower established the basic rules of all Battle Tower challenges. Later Battle Towers would modify some of these basic rules to be somewhat more restrictive.
 
Its slogan is ''Take the Ultimate Trainer Challenge!'' (Japanese: {{j|「めざせ！　さいきょう　トレーナー」}} ''Become the Strongest Trainer!'').
 
===Access===
====Japanese version====
In the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the Battle Tower is unlocked once the player connects to [[Mobile System GB]] for the first time, which requires the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]]. While the Battle Tower is locked, its doors display the message "The BATTLE TOWER's doors are closed…" ({{j|「バトルタワーの　いりぐちは　しまってる⋯」}}). After being unlocked, they instead return the message "It's open!" ({{j|「あいてる！」}}).
 
Since the discontinuation of the Mobile System GB in 2002, it is no longer possible to unlock the Battle Tower in the Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal. The Battle Tower is also inaccessible in the [[Virtual Console]] version.
 
====Western language versions====
In the Western language versions of {{game|Crystal}}, the Battle Tower is always accessible (even in the [[Virtual Console]] version). The doors can no longer be interacted with, so the localized messages from the Japanese version are unused.
 
===Challenges===
Battle Tower challenges are made by entering three of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the attendant at the front desk. The attendant will then guide the player to a special room where they will {{pkmn|battle}} against seven opponents in a row, healing between each battle. After the seven {{pkmn|Trainer}}s have been defeated, the player will be rewarded with five of a [[Statistic|stat]]-increasing [[Vitamin|nutritious drink]].
 
===Restrictions===
The Battle Tower has several restrictions aside from the amount of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be entered.
 
* All Pokémon must be less than or equal to the [[level]] of  battle challenged. Levels are in intervals of 10, and the {{player}} can only choose levels 60 to 100 after entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
* No two Pokémon can be holding the same [[item]].
* Items cannot be used by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s on their Pokémon.
* {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Celebi}} are only allowed to be entered if the level chosen is 70 or higher. {{pkmn|Egg}}s are not allowed to enter.
 
===Unobtainable Pokémon===
Certain Pokémon cannot normally be obtained at lower enough levels to enter low-level challenges (e.g. {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Zapdos}} cannot be legitimately obtained at level 10). However, the game does not validate whether a Pokémon is legitimately obtainable at a specific level.
 
===Prizes===
{{Itlisth|building}}
{{Itemlist|Calcium|For winning 7 battles in a row|C=yes|display=[[Calcium]] ×5}}
{{Itemlist|Carbos|For winning 7 battles in a row|C=yes|display=[[Carbos]] ×5}}
{{Itemlist|HP Up|For winning 7 battles in a row|C=yes|display=[[HP Up]] ×5}}
{{Itemlist|Iron|For winning 7 battles in a row|C=yes|display=[[Iron]] ×5}}
{{Itemlist|Protein|For winning 7 battles in a row|C=yes|display=[[Protein]] ×5}}
{{Itlistfoot|building}}
 
===Japanese Crystal===
In Japanese Crystal, the Battle Tower is directly associated with the Mobile System GB. Further multiplayer features are available, including mobile {{pkmn|battle}}s, for which a small price is charged on the players' mobile phones. If the player battled well enough, they could become a '''Room Leader''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ルームリーダー}}''' ''Room Leader''). All Room Leaders would be registered in the Honor Roll of the Mobile Center for posterity.
 
==Trainers==
The following Trainers may appear during the Battle Tower challenge. All of them use randomly-determined teams, depending on the [[level]] of the selected challenge.

==In the anime==
[[File:Battle Tower Johto anime.png|thumb|250px|The Battle Tower in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
The Battle Tower made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', where {{TRT}} mistook it for an office building and tried to get in, but to no avail as the security officers asked for [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s.
{{-}}
 
==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS122|Querulous Qwilfish]]'', the Battle Tower was under construction and was due to be finished in a month. A tank that was collecting waste from the construction cracked under pressure, spilling its contents into the sea nearby and contaminating the water. As a result, {{p|Qwilfish}} attacked a worker and {{adv|Crystal}} out of anger and to protect a baby Qwilfish that became sick due to the pollution. It was also where {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Suicune}} first appeared, purifying the water and curing the baby Qwilfish in the process.
 
In ''[[PS159|Popular Pupitar]]'', {{adv|Silver}} was revealed to have first met [[Lance]] at the Johto Battle Tower construction site, wanting to question him if he knew anything about the {{p|Ho-Oh|giant bird Pokémon}} that the [[Masked Man]] had used to kidnap him nine years earlier.
 
===={{MangaArc|Platinum}}====
In ''[[PS418|Deprogramming Porygon-Z]]'', {{adv|Platinum}} mentioned the Johto Battle Tower (as well as the [[Battle Tower (Generation III)|Hoenn Battle Tower]]) when she was explaining the {{si|Battle Tower|Sinnoh Battle Tower}}.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Crystal}}, several {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are references to its [[Staff of Pokémon Crystal|development staff]].<ref>[https://iimarckus.org/i/tower-references/ Battle Tower In‐Jokes]</ref>
** {{tc|Guitarist}} Masuda is a reference to [[Junichi Masuda]], the game's music director.
** {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Tajiri is a reference to [[Pokémon]]'s creator, [[Satoshi Tajiri]], and his childhood fixation with bug catching.
** {{tc|Scientist}} Mori and {{tc|Teacher}} Kawakami are, respectively, a reference to Akito Mori and Naoko Kawakami, who are listed under "special thanks" in the credits.
