A '''Tower Tycoon''' (Japanese: '''タワータイクーン''' ''Tower Tycoon'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who presides over their region's [[Battle Tower]]. The Tower Tycoon will battle the [[Player character|challenger]] of the Tower at set intervals. As of [[Generation IV]], [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]] and [[Palmer]] are the only known Tower Tycoons (however, Anabel's title was changed to "Salon Maiden" in localizations).

==Trivia==
* Though the word "{{wp|Business magnate#Etymology|tycoon}}" is actually derived from the Japanese word {{j|{{jwp|征夷大将軍|大君}}}} ''taikun'' (a title for the {{wp|shogun}}), it is converted into {{wp|katakana}} as an English term to match the names of the other Frontier Brains' Trainer classes, rather than using the {{wp|hiragana}} {{j|たいくん}} or its respective katakana {{j|タイクン}} (without the lengthening {{wp|chōonpu}}).
