|location=Northeast [[Ecruteak City]]

The '''Bell Tower''' (Japanese: '''スズのとう''' ''{{wp|Suzu}} 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.

The Bell Tower was once the perch of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Ho-Oh}}; however, long before the events of the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Ho-Oh flew away, never to return. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s came to the tower, hoping for Ho-Oh's return, but no one had yet been successful. Finally, with the {{DL|Legendary artifact|Rainbow Wing}} and [[Clear Bell]], the {{player}} is able to summon Ho-Oh to the Bell Tower in order to {{pkmn|battle}} it atop the roof.

In Generation II, the tower is known as the Tin Tower, and only the Rainbow Wing is required to reach the top. In {{game|Crystal}}, the Clear Bell summons {{p|Suicune}} to the ground floor of the tower; however, Ho-Oh does not appear until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] have been captured and the [[Elite Four]] has been defeated.

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

The tower appeared in the episode ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', where it was referred to as the Tin Tower by the [[dub]], like in the English [[Generation II]] games. The importance of bells is made clear as the tower holds four bells on each floor, which will only ring if {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Suicune}} is coming. In addition, the bells on the top floor are made of crystal and will only ring for Ho-Oh's appearance.

** Due to this, unlike in other buildings, {{p|Burmy}} will take on its {{DL|Form differences|Burmy and Wormadam|Sandy Cloak}} rather than its {{DL|Form differences|Burmy and Wormadam|Trash Cloak}} if it battles here.

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.

The Japanese name of the tower, スズのとう ''Suzu no Tō'', could be translated either to '''Tin Tower''' (as in [[Generation II]]), or '''Bell Tower''' (as in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}). This is because the {{wp|kana}} for {{wp|suzu}} refers to both 錫 ''{{wp|tin}}'', a metal that has a bright, silvery sheen, but is far less valuable than actual silver, and 鈴 ''bell''. {{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.
