Face boards are a feature that have appeared in the games Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and Pokémon Sun and Moon. A face board is a 2D, upright board depicting a Pokémon or person with a hole in the face. When the player stands behind the face board, the player's face fills the hole. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and Pokémon Sun and Moon, standing behind the face board causes the camera to zoom onto the face board.

Appearances

Platinum

• Pastoria City: A face board of a Croagunk in front of a forest background is situated outside the entrance to the Great Marsh. After looking at the statue in the Poké Mart, if the player stands behind the face board with the player's head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will come, but it will just cry and walk into the Great Marsh building.

Black 2 and White 2

• Humilau City: A face board featuring a male and female Frillish is situated outside the Humilau Gym. Standing behind one of the Frillish may trigger an event where a random NPC comes and takes a photo of the player. Notable NPCs include Marlon, the Gym leader of the Humilau City Gym. Taking a commemorative photo at the face board earns the Face Board Memorial Medal.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

• Lilycove City Department Store: A face board depicting a green member of the Hoenn Rangers Coexistence Force is located on the roof of the Lilycove Department Store.
• Mossdeep Space Center: A face board of an astronaut is located on the first floor of the Mossdeep Space Center in front of a moon background. After the player completes the Delta Episode, a Kecleon with its Hidden Ability hides behind the face board.

Sun and Moon/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

• Heahea City: A face board of a mermaid with a Bellossom is located inside the Alola Tourist Bureau. Its in-game description describes it as a face board for photographing oneself.
• Malie City: A face board of a Makuhita is located in front of a house.

Sword and Shield

• Turffield: A face board of an anthropomorphized stone pillar and a Skwovet is located on the lookout for the mural.

Trivia

• On the face board in Humilau City, the eyes of the male Frillish are incorrectly colored, being the inverse of what they should be.
