The Japanese name of the tower, スズのとう ''Suzu no Tō'', | 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). This is because the katakana for {{wp|suzu}} usually refers to 錫 ({{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. | ||
