(→In other languages: Thanks Arceus for Masters! Unfortunately, the Chinese version edits the dialogue to talk merely about "Burned Tower" but at least an official Chinese translation from another source (manga?) exists.) |

* In Pokémon Crystal, because {{ga|Silver}} doesn't battle the player immediately after entering the Burned Tower, the player can enter the tower and speak with [[Eusine]], and see that Silver is in the middle of the tower, waiting for the player. However, if the player leaves and proceeds to [[Olivine City]], when the player arrives Silver appears there, exiting the [[Olivine Gym]], and then talks to the player before leaving. If the player returns to the Burned Tower, Silver will still be waiting for the player there. | * In Pokémon Crystal, because {{ga|Silver}} doesn't battle the player immediately after entering the Burned Tower, the player can enter the tower and speak with [[Eusine]], and see that Silver is in the middle of the tower, waiting for the player.

* It is actually possible to use {{m|Dig}} to escape from the Burned Tower—even the basement—and return to the entrance; this is because, as can be seen from the in-battle background used in [[Generation IV]], the Burned Tower is classified as a cave area, rather than a building, likely to allow wild Pokémon to be found. This is also the case with the [[Bell Tower]] and [[Sprout Tower]]. | * It is actually possible to use {{m|Dig}} to escape from the Burned Tower—even the basement—and return to the entrance; this is because, as can be seen from the in-battle background used in [[Generation IV]], the Burned Tower is classified as a cave area, rather than a building, likely to allow wild Pokémon to be found.

While the Burned Tower is named quite obviously in both English and Japanese, the original Japanese name of the tower, revealed in {{game|Crystal}}, was かねのとう ''Kane no Tou''. The {{wp|kana}} for kane can refer to 金 ''metal'', hence the English version's translation as Brass Tower, a golden-colored metal, to counter the silver-colored tin used on the other tower. Kane can also, like the {{wp|suzu}} of the Bell Tower, refer to 鐘 / 鉦 ''{{wp|kane (musical instrument)|kane}}'', a type of gong-like bell used in Japanese ritual. As it was not mentioned in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it did not receive a more accurate name as [[Bell Tower]] did. | While the Burned Tower is named quite obviously in both English and Japanese, the original Japanese name of the tower, revealed in {{game|Crystal}}, was かねのとう ''Kane no Tou''.
