The '''Goldenrod Radio Tower''' (Japanese: '''コガネラジオとう''' ''Kogane Radio Tower'') is a six-story tower located next to the [[Magnet Train]] station in [[Goldenrod City]], the largest city in [[Johto]]. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}}. For a short time in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], the tower fell victim to the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time none of the normal broadcasts were aired.

Following the defeat of [[Pryce]] at the [[Mahogany Town]] Gym, it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline because until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal, the [[Blackthorn Gym]] will be closed because [[Clair]] is training in the restricted [[Dragon's Den]]{{sup/2|GSC}} or a man selling [[RageCandyBar]]s will prevent access to {{rt|44|Johto}}, the eastern path out of Mahogany{{sup/4|HGSS}}. After defeating the impostor station manager in the fifth floor office, the main character will receive the {{key|II|Basement Key|Basement}} {{key|IV|Basement Key|Key}}, which opens up a sealed area of the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. Upon finding the real station manager in the second basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], he will give the main character a [[Card Key]] to open the door on the third floor that separates the upper floors of the tower in two. With the Card Key in tow, the main character can ascend to the fifth floor studio to defeat the final {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executive}}s, effectively disbanding the organization. To show his gratitude, the station manager will give the main character a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Rainbow Wing}}{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/4|HG}}, a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}}{{sup/2|S}}{{sup/4|SS}}, or a [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}.

The Radio Tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk]] and [[Buena's Password]], a new radio show that debuted in {{game|Crystal}}. For a short time in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], the tower fell victim to the clutches of [[Team Rocket]], during which time all of the normal broadcasts were replaced with a pirate signal officially announcing Team Rocket's return and pleading [[Giovanni]] to return from seclusion.
 
After the player obtains their seventh Johto Gym Badge, it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline, because until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal, either the [[Blackthorn Gym]] will be closed because [[Clair]] is training in the restricted [[Dragon's Den]]{{sup/2|GSC}}, or a man selling [[Rage Candy Bar|RageCandyBar]]s will prevent access to {{rt|44|Johto}}, the eastern path out of [[Mahogany Town]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}. After defeating the impostor station manager in the fifth floor office, the player will receive the {{key|II|Basement Key|Basement}} {{key|IV|Basement Key|Key}}, which opens up a sealed area of the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. Upon finding the real station manager in the second basement of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], he will give the player a [[Card Key]] to open the door on the third floor that separates the upper floors of the tower in two. With the Card Key in tow, the player can ascend to the fifth floor studio to defeat the final {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executive}}s, effectively disbanding the organization. To show his gratitude, the station manager will give the player a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Rainbow Wing}}{{sup/2|G}}{{sup/4|HG}}, a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}}{{sup/2|S}}{{sup/4|SS}}, or a [[Clear Bell]]{{sup/2|C}}.

====Studios====
In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the station had two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio was added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor, to accommodate [[Buena]]'s new radio show. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to [[Pokémon Storage System|Bill's PC]] and the player's personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The [[Radio Director|Director]]'s office is found on the fifth floor.

Disguised {{TRT}} also infiltrated the Radio Tower, intending to steal anything valuable inside. However, all they discovered were tapes of various radio shows. They were then mistaken for a comedy group called "The [[Dugtrio Trio]]," and were dragged to be interviewed by DJ Mary. Due to Team Rocket having accidentally destroyed the tape of the day's Radio Drama, Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and Team Rocket were asked to act the show live. During the show, [[Jessie]] constantly made her own changes to the script, eventually leading to Team Rocket revealing themselves and attempting to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Thankfully, Ash managed to recover Pikachu, Team Rocket was defeated, and the show was brought to a successful end.

The Radio Tower in Gold, Silver, and Crystal

The Goldenrod Radio Tower (Japanese: コガネラジオとう Kogane Radio Tower) is a six-story tower located next to the Magnet Train station in Goldenrod City, the largest city in Johto.

Goldenrod City Radio Tower
A Network Providing Johto
with Interesting Information

In the games

The Radio Tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk and Buena's Password, a new radio show that debuted in Pokémon Crystal. For a short time in Generation II and Generation IV, the tower fell victim to the clutches of Team Rocket, during which time all of the normal broadcasts were replaced with a pirate signal officially announcing Team Rocket's return and pleading Giovanni to return from seclusion.

After the player obtains their seventh Johto Gym Badge, it is necessary to purge the Radio Tower of Team Rocket in order to continue the storyline, because until the Radio Tower has been returned to normal, either the Blackthorn Gym will be closed because Clair is training in the restricted Dragon's DenGSC, or a man selling RageCandyBars will prevent access to Route 44, the eastern path out of Mahogany TownHGSS. After defeating the impostor station manager in the fifth floor office, the player will receive the Basement Key, which opens up a sealed area of the Goldenrod Tunnel. Upon finding the real station manager in the second basement of the Goldenrod Department Store, he will give the player a Card Key to open the door on the third floor that separates the upper floors of the tower in two. With the Card Key in tow, the player can ascend to the fifth floor studio to defeat the final Rocket Executives, effectively disbanding the organization. To show his gratitude, the station manager will give the player a Rainbow WingGHG, a Silver WingSSS, or a Clear BellC.

Places of interest

Studios

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, the station had two studios, located on the fourth and fifth floors. A third studio was added in Pokémon Crystal on the second floor, to accommodate Buena's new radio show. In every version, the tower has a welcome center, as well as a computer linked to Bill's PC and the player's personal computer, on the first floor and a small café on the second floor. The technical operations of the tower are handled by way of a network of computers on the third and fourth floors. The Director's office is found on the fifth floor.

Programs

The Radio Tower in the anime

The Goldenrod Radio Tower appeared in Air Time, where Ash was invited to the tower to be interviewed by DJ Mary. Disguised Team Rocket also infiltrated the Radio Tower, intending to steal anything valuable inside. However, all they discovered were tapes of various radio shows. They were then mistaken for a comedy group called "The Dugtrio Trio," and were dragged to be interviewed by DJ Mary. Due to Team Rocket having accidentally destroyed the tape of the day's Radio Drama, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket were asked to act the show live. During the show, Jessie constantly made her own changes to the script, eventually leading to Team Rocket revealing themselves and attempting to steal Pikachu. Thankfully, Ash managed to recover Pikachu, Team Rocket was defeated, and the show was brought to a successful end.
