Bell Tower and Whirl Islands after tweaking: Difference between revisions

{{incomplete|information on possible differences in SoulSilver}}

In {{HGSS}}, if the player skips certain events associated with the version mascotLugia legendaryand PokémonHo-Oh via [[tweaking]], the behavior of the game upon entering the final rooms of Tinthe Bell Tower or the Whirl Islands can be altered.

In Pokémon HeartGold, if the player obtains the Silver Wing in Pewter City, then goes back to do the battles with the Kimono Girls, and then finally enters the final room of the Whirl Islands without first encountering Ho-Oh, the cutscene intended to play before encountering Ho-Oh will play. Due to the 3D structure of the room, the cutscene becomes heavily distorted, culminating in a soft-lock during which Lugia's pre-encounter theme plays after the theme for Ho-Oh's arrival event.

In Pokémon HeartGold, if the player enters the Hall of Fame before triggering the Ho-Oh event, Ho-Oh will already be at the top of the tower, as entering the Hall of Fame causes its overworld sprite to re-spawn if it was defeated or fled from instead of caught. If they then play throughtrigger the required events involving the Kimono Girls and Clear Bell, the Ho-Oh appearance cutscene will play upon their entry to the roof, in spite of Ho-Oh already being present. This allows the player to undergo the Ho-Oh battle twice in a row without even having to reenter the area, each treated as if it were the first encounter according to the dialogue that follows.
