Pokemon HG/SS - Bell Tower Music EXTENDED

Pretty sweet tune. IMO, this is the theme song for HG. It's so epic!

[@Odd_Magus]

Kanto: Kanto (region of japan) Johto: Chubu (region of japan) Hoenn: kyushu and okinawa (regions of japan) Sinnoh: hokkaido (region of japan) Unova: New York City, New York, USA

This game has the most "ancient" theme to it... the music, some of the towns, the japanese style to sprout, bell, and burned towers, something none of the other games will have

[@armelliumthefulgent.6053]

I'd say DPP is more ancient. It's as ancient as the creation of the heavens and earth, although you see arceus recreating the universe in HGSS.

[@retrofizz727]

@@AacroXtensions i prefer personally the vibes and musics of heart gold and soul silver, arceus is kinda empty imo, tho i enjoyed playing it too

[@legendofrayquazagaming5125]

Except perhaps Conquest.

[@michealforguson5317]

The Johto Region is based off of Western Japan. Which is more rural than it's Eastern counterpart. That area also has more Japanese OG cultural influence. Sinnoh is based off of Northern Japan. Hence the snow in most of the region. Mt. Coronet is basically Mt. Fuji.

IMO Johto was the best region, it had tons of ancient lore and it was full of history and historical landmarks and areas, I loved playing Crystal and Soul Silver tons!

[@theflame07yt97]

Stronk_Serb indeed, I don't think that any games can beat 16 gyms 2 regions as well as obtaining the OTHER legendary from the other game, no beating that.

The Burned Tower was the original Tin tower only in the anime (when it burned, a second Tin tower was built to the east). In the games, Burned Tower was formerly known as Brass Tower. xabman1 says that Bell Tower was called Tin Tower in GSC.

[@olr917]

I love how you can see even the Bell tower and the forest in this pic. So cool to see two cities together, showing the distance between.

[@CheeseBoyz]

Thanks for putting this up. When I played the original games way back when, this was my favourite tune. Good to hear that this version is even more epic than the older one.

[@Yistern]

One of my favorite themes; keep up the good work.

[@10freekie2]

i freakin' luv the picture!

[@Kasumi8779]

I realised, after listening to real Kabuki music, you can tell they didn't use real instruments on this. You can tell the Koto and Sanshin are Midis, the Hocchiku sounds a bit like an Erhu, and the Tsuzumi sounds like a laser. Nonetheless this is a good song, it just could be improved. I could see a real version though with Koto providing main parts, Sanshin accompanying the Koto, a real Tsuzumi, and real Hocchiku.

[@RokonxTachigami]

Agreed.

[@Kuebel350]

+Kasumi97 They weren't able to use real instruments due to the DS's limitations.

[@RokonxTachigami]

oh. shame.

[@user-se9fw6yh3b]

i bet that this is a weeaboo lol

Back in my day kids bell tower was called Tin Tower. why did they change it

[@theflame07yt97]

Zak Rosenfeld probably because it sounded a lot like "twin towers" and when it's counterpart gets burned down (burned or brass tower) the events seem to have an unwanted "link" (people get offended easily there days)

[@griffintgm9467]

Bell tower is a TON better, rings a lot better and bell tower sounds better for a worshipping place then an old worthless metal like tin

[@SroSupernatural]

Gold/Silver/Crystal had the best storyline of all time

[@Kasumi8779]

They are all in Japan. Jonto is supposed to be a mix of different regions and cities in Japan. For example, Ecruteak city is based off of Kyoto

[@Totheriver16]

I wouldn't really say that. ( but that's my oipinion of course) Cuz in GSC all you do is to stop team rocket and then when you finally beat them you get to meet the legendary pokemon and catch them. TBH I think gen 3 gen 4 and gen 5 had the best story line cuz theres actually a purpose in those games. Not only becoming a champ but saving the world from heavy rains, strong droughts, destroying the time space continuum and from a crazy man who wants to take over the world. I still love GSC though

[@MrTorterra111]

Yeah... That desert above New York city is pretty big...

In the original Japanese Version it could be translated into either Bell Tower or Tin Tower and I guess the translated it differently

[@BaronBanahaw]

oddly when I saw those towers, it reminds me of BurnedBellSprout tower from left to right

[@DrunkSnowWhite]

trust me i've researched this thoroughly I could not find anything at all on Oblivia or the Decolore Islands, the Orange Islands are just my speculation based on bits and pieces of evidence since I couldn't find any officially designated area or fan speculated area they were based on, and Fiore has never had an official designation either but most nolife fans speculate it's based on the Niigata Prefecture in the Chubu region of Japan Disagreements? Tell me and I'll answer

[@IronKnuckleKO]

Can you upload an extended version of the song that plays while calling Ho-oh and Lugia?

[@RayningP41N]

@DKGate7Ultras lol im not dog, clearly it is mainly based around ekruteak, but you can see as you noted mahogany, violet city, mt. morter, mt. silver, and the ice path (forget the name exactly) so i call it johto region :D

[@J77777]

This needs a metal cover

[@DKGate7Ultras]

@GeorgeTheFunnyOddish of course i am talking about the picture.... and i am pretty sure that this is Ekruteak city and some routes and in the depth you can see mahogany. and dont say that i am wrong, because i play pokemon 10 years now and johto is the region that i know everything about it

@RozeAngelix i got it off the HGSS website before the game came out. idk if the site is even still up but give it a try

Your wrong. All 4 regions which are Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh are all Japanese regions but except for Unova which is the New York Area just like the guy had already said. Look it up. I'm pretty sure that'll help

Bell Tower and Bellsprout Tower are two different towers in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Plus, this isn't even Burned Tower's theme. If it helps, you can call this the 'Tin Towers' theme, as I hate to call Ho-oh's Tower the Bell Tower (So uncreative >.>)
