Talk:Bell Tower

I see this in most places, but a lot of people seem to think that Lugia dwelt atop Brass Tower, and Ho-Oh on Tin Tower BEFORE the fire. Tin Tower may be the new home of Ho-Oh, but it's traditional home was atop Brass Tower. Still, most people think that Lugia would roost on the Golden-leafed Brass Tower and Ho-oh on the Silver-leafed Tin Tower. The Brass Tower, based off the Kinkaku-ji (the GOLDEN Tower which bears the GOLD statue of the Houou bird), was definitely the roost of Ho-Oh. If anyone has proof to support the idea that Lugia roosted on Brass Tower and Ho-oh roosted on Tin Tower, please go ahead and change it back. ~Kumori Satosuke

I always figured that it was Ho-Oh on Brass, but I haven't played GS for years (one of the reasons we need GSDS), and I don't remember the text. TTEchidna 03:26, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Tin is silver or something similar. Makes sense to have Lugia here. He seems to prefer the Whirl Islands over a tower.. I'll boot up my old Gold to clarify this, that is, if the save battery didn't die on me. TinaTheKirlia ^{♪☆File:Ani281MS.gif} 03:45, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Here I have the proof so no one will revert my changes. I was playing crystal and I found the errors. I originally put this in the Talk Page of Brass tower, but anyway. It is what sage Masa (of the wise trio) says:

"In the past, there were two nine-tier towers here. The BRASS TOWER, which was said to awaken POKéMON, and the TIN TOWER, where POKéMON were said to rest. The view from the tops of the TOWERS must have been magnificent. At the time, an immense, silver-colored POKéMON was said to make its roost atop the BRASS TOWER. Howerver... About 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck one of the TOWERS. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze. And that is how the BURNED TOWER came to be."

so there you have it. hfc2X 22:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Ho-oh in HGSS?

I got the rainbow wing after defeating team rocket at the goldenrod radio tower. I agot to the top of the tin tower. Only to find nothing there. Am I supposed to do something before I can get Ho-oh? ---> 223☆Dåv]d 11:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Get the Clear Bell and defeat the Kimono Girls. Also, look at the wlakthroughs rather than asking for game help on talk pages. --LaprasBoi 04:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Name change?

A hands-on preview article at IGN talking about an English build( not sure if they mean the final one, probably not) mentions the “Bell Tower” and the autumn leaves on the Bell Path or something leading up to it. I thought it was some mistaken reference to the Sprout Tower, then I noticed that there are clearly no autumn leaves in pics of Gen IV Violet City, and stumbled across the reference to the pun/double-meaning of this Tower’s name in Japanese. The author explicitly says that he cannot read Japanese, so he couldn’t have gotten the name by translating it himself. It seems that, if not in the final version, then at least in a preview build being shown to the press, Nintendo has opted for the other of the two possible translations. --LaprasBoi 04:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
