|
Ecruteak City (Japanese: エンジュシティ Enju City) is an old-fashioned city located in northern Johto, situated in the woods between tall Mt. Mortar and the open fields near Johto's western shores.
As with many of the larger cities in the Pokémon world, Ecruteak has a Pokémon Gym, led by Morty, who specializes in Ghost-type Pokémon and hands out the Fog Badge to those who defeat him.
Ecruteak is known as a historical and mythical city; fittingly, its buildings all feature traditional Japanese architecture, while the tallest building in the city, and perhaps all of Johto, is the ten-story Bell Tower in the city's northeast corner, built nearly a millennium before the events of the games. The city is known as being a centerpoint of the legendary Pokémon native to the Johto region, with the great Ho-Oh once being said to have roosted atop the Bell Tower, and having created three legendary beasts of the Pokémon who perished when the Brass Tower burned down.
Slogan
Generation II
A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present (Japanese: むかしと いまが どうじに ながれる れきしの まち The city where present and past concurrently flow in history.)
Generation IV
A Historical City (Japanese: れきしが ながれる まち The city where history flows.)
Places of interest
Kimono Dance Theater
The Kimono Dance Theater is where the Kimono Girls dance and battle. The director will give the player the HM for Surf in Generation II, after defeating the Kimono Girls, and in Generation IV, after defeating a rude Team Rocket Grunt. Each of the five Kimono Girls has an evolution of Eevee: Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, and Umbreon. In Generation II, the player can freely choose their order of facing Kimono Girls. In Generation IV however, each of the Kimono Girls fight in a synchronized order, and the player must go through multiple battles until all five are defeated.

Burned Tower
- Main article: Burned Tower
The sad remains of this once-great tower, in the northwestern corner of the city, are all that is left after a fire engulfed it 150 years before the events of the games. It was once as majestic as the Bell Tower to the east, with the two towers representative of where Pokémon awakened and where they slept.
According to some legends, Lugia once perched on this tower; however, others place Lugia as always living in the Whirl Islands. Three legendary beasts make their home in the basement of the tower, given new life after it burned down by Ho-Oh, who once perched atop the Bell Tower.
The player's rival, exploring the area, will challenge him or her a third time when he or she arrives here.
Barrier Station to Bell Tower
The Barrier Station to Bell Tower is located in the north of Ecruteak City. This gate houses three sages, collectively called the Wise Trio (Japanese: 3にんしゅう group of 3 men). It serves to prevent the player proceeding to Bell Tower until they have the Fog Badge. In Pokémon Crystal, the three sages battle the player before allowing passage.

Bellchime Trail
- Main article: Bellchime Trail
Bellchime Trail is a short path between Ecruteak City and the Bell Tower. In Generation II, it was unnamed and simply considered a part of Ecruteak City.
Bell Tower
- Main article: Bell Tower
A majestic tower to the east, the Bell Tower is where Ho-Oh was once said to roost. With the Rainbow Wing, the player is able to prove to Ho-Oh that he or she is a pure-hearted person who will bring Pokémon and people back into harmony with one another.
On the first floor, Suicune lingers in Pokémon Crystal, awaiting the player's arrival with a Clear Bell.
Demographics
Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal
Ecruteak City's population is 31, making it the third-largest city in Johto.
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

The city is later rebuilt, as requested by Morty, with Jasmine supervising the workers. Yellow sets the Legendary beasts free in the Burned Tower. Crystal follows Suicune to the Bell Tower and makes a failed attempt to capture it.
Years later, in One Tough Togepi, Gold heads here to meet Morty. The city's surroundings are the first place where Arceus is seen, with Crystal attempting to capture it.
In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga
In Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys, Gold and Whitney pass through Ecruteak City in their travels. Ecruteak City is well-known for its history and its stories of legendary Pokémon that have been passed down through generations. Points of interest include Ecruteak Gym and the Pokémon Summit, which is held annually at a stadium which was built on the land formerly occupied by the Burned Tower.
Trivia
- During the pre-release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Game Freak's Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters (Japanese: ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック) from 1997 hinted at a location containing traditional Japanese buildings called Old City (Japanese: オールドシティ). This was likely a prototype of Ecruteak City.
- An unused house in Olivine City features a NPC that claims that a pharmacist in Ecruteak made medicine for her Pokémon. As the pharmacy is actually in Cianwood City, this suggests that it was originally planned for Ecruteak City during the development of Pokémon Gold and Silver.
- Unused early maps of Ecruteak City also hint at the Magnet Train running through it as well, possibly instead of through Goldenrod City. The reason they may have considered this could have to do with the fact that Kyoto, the city that Ecruteak City is based on, has its own railway system.
- The soundtrack of HeartGold and SoulSilver reveals that the kanji for Enju is 縁寿, meaning "longevity of a relationship".
- Due to the fact that the burning of the Brass Tower has eye-witnesses that the player can talk to, this would make some residents over 150 years old.
- In the French localization of Pokémon Crystal, the Wise Trio are named Ken, Shuu and Raoh, referencing the manga Fist of the North Star.
- A painting of Ecruteak City is on display in the Lumiose Museum in Pokémon X and Y.
