The Japanese name of the tower, スズのとう ''Suzu no Tō'', could be translated either to "Tin Tower" (as it was in Generation II), or "Bell Tower" (as it was in Generation IV). {{wp|Tin}} is a metal that has a bright, silvery sheen, but is far less valuable than actual silver. {{wp|Suzu}} are a type of bell used in {{wp|Shinto}} rituals, which both the [[Clear Bell]] and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Tidal Bell}} are based on.
The Japanese name of the tower, {{tt|スズ|すず}}のとう ''Suzu no Tō'', translates to "Tin Tower", as in English [[Generation II]]. This is because the katakana for {{wp|suzu}} usually refers to 錫, the Japanese term for {{wp|tin}}, a metal that has a bright, silvery sheen, but is far less valuable than actual silver. {{wp|Suzu}} are a type of bell used in {{wp|Shinto}} rituals, which both the [[Clear Bell]] and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Tidal Bell}} are based on.
