Ecruteak City in Gold and Silver
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 Template:Type2 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 Bell Tower's twin to the west of the city, burned down.
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.

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.

Trivia
"When my Pokémon got sick, the pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me."
- An inaccessible house in Olivine City features an NPC that claims that a pharmacist in Ecruteak made medicine for her Pokémon. As the pharmacy is in Cianwood City instead, this house, which must be hacked to enter, may feature either a mistranslation or evidence of the pharmacy being in Ecruteak during the development builds of the original Gold and Silver.
- Early beta maps of Ecruteak suggest that the Magnet Train ran through the city as well, possibly instead of through Goldenrod City.
- The soundtrack of HeartGold and SoulSilver reveals that the kanji for Enju are 縁寿 (longevity of a relationship).
- Ecruteak City was the first city the developers redesigned for HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Its English Generation II motto was "A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present"
- 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.
