Pokémon Tower

The Pokémon Tower is a location introduced in Generation I.

Description[]

A ghost encountered without a Silph Scope in the Generation I games

The Pokémon Tower is a tower located in Lavender Town in the Kanto region. It is burial site and memorial for deceased Pokémon, although it is inhabited by several Ghost-type Pokémon. There are a total of seven floors.

To properly navigate the Pokémon Tower, the player needs to have the Silph Scope, because without it, the player encounters unidentifiable ghosts that cannot be fought. When the player has received the Silph Scope, the ghosts are revealed to be a Gastly, Haunter, or Cubone in most encounters.

Throughout the tower are Channelers who have been possessed, but they can be freed by winning Pokémon battles against them. There is one Channeler on the fifth floor who has managed to avoid possession, and has used white magic to create a healing area in the center of the floor, where the player can go to restore their Pokémon to full health. No Wild Pokémon can be encountered in the healing area.

On the sixth floor, the restless ghost of a dead mother Marowak attacks the player and has to be defeated; this is a required encounter and the main reason why the Silph Scope is required because the Marowak is shown as an unidentifiable ghost otherwise, like the other wild Pokémon. The Marowak mother is alluded earlier on by Pokémon Trainer, who will inform that a Cubone had lost its mother. Upon defeating the Marowak, her soul will be at peace, and she will depart. Defeating the Marowak is required to reach the seventh and topmost floor, where Mr. Fuji is being held captive by three Team Rocket Grunts. After the player defeats each of them in separate Pokémon battles, they can rescue Mr. Fuji, who gratefully gives the Poké Flute to the player.

In the Generation II games and the Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version remakes, the Pokémon Tower had been completely changed into a radio tower, titled Lavender Radio Tower, and the Ghost type Pokémon that inhabited there were taken away by the DJ's in Radio Tower. The new radio tower was just like Goldenrod's, but there is a guard who prevents the player from going upstairs. The graves of the Pokémon Tower were relocated into a small house called House of Memories (titled Soul House in the Generation II games). The player can obtain the EXPN Card from the manager of the Lavender Radio Tower if they restore the power at the Power Plant.

Trivia[]

The ghost in the Pokémon Tower is a sprite sometimes used during the appearance of Missingno., the most famous Glitch Pokémon.
There is a little girl in Generation I and Generation III who stands in the front of Pokémon Tower and asks, "Do you believe in ghosts?" If the player replied with a no, she will say, "Hahaha, I guess not. That white hand on your shoulder is not real."
