Johto: Ecruteak City Lore
Ecruteak City is one of the most consistently underrated cities in Pokemon. The unforgettable layout of the city with the Burned Tower to the West and the Bell/Tin Tower to the East. This massive pagoda-style tower to the East is a roost for Ho-Oh, one of Johto’s Legendary birds. And the Burned Tower has a ton of history behind it when it comes to the Legendary Beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.
However, the Evolutions poster features Lugia, which has been more closely tied to the Legendary Birds from Kanto, like in Pokemon the Movie 2000. Yet, one of the Kimono girls is also featured on the poster, which also indicates ties to Ecruteak City, Ho-Oh, and the Legendary Beasts. There are a number of ways the Johto episode could go, and unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until Dec. 16 to find out what happens.
