Pokemon HG/SS - Bell Tower Music EXTENDED

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

this song, idk y but sometimes i just feel like hearing it

[@AgentOrange6]

Dude Definitely, Ho-oh is probably the only That got the shittiest Backstory in the first two seasons of Pokémon, I mean at least Mewtwo got it's own movie Ho-oh is a GOTDAMN MYSTERY IN THE ANIME!!! with the little info that Morty did specify, It's sad Ho-oh didn't get a Bigger Backstory 🥺😔😭

[@AgentOrange6]

Praise the Japanese!!! There FUCKING INGENIOUS 😫🤐

[@xdress1746]

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.

The music that plays when you are stuck inside Bell Tower maze for 3 hours

[@grensparkle370]

Nailed it with an ocarina and a pan flute. Sounds pretty calm and harmonious, but some kind of drum miss to what I've done. I cant hear it without losing myself in the rhythm... Anyway, its peaceful. Doing such covers with such instruments made my days :D

[@Posby95]

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.

[@10freekie2]

[@TheRealCorcra]

I spent a ridiculous amount of time listening to this song in pure rage

[@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.

[@ZakJordan98]

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

[@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

[@drmmeromdd1081]

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

[@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

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 >.>)

Not quite. In HG/SS, the Tin Tower is known as the Bell Tower. Different name, same location. And is the home of the Trio Master of the Legendary Beasts, Ho-oh. The Burned Tower has a slightly different theme, as that was the home of the Legendary Beasts.
