Face boards (Japanese: 顔出し看板B2W2ORAS or 顔ハメ看板SMUSUM photo stand-in) are a feature that have appeared in the games Pokémon Platinum, Black 2 and White 2, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and Sword and Shield. A face board is a two-dimensional, 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 the Nintendo 3DS games, standing behind the face board causes the camera to zoom onto the face board.
Appearances
Pokémon 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 Croagunk 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 appear, cry out, and walk into the Great Marsh building.
Pokémon 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 Gym. Taking a commemorative photo at the face board earns the Face Board Memorial Medal.

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.
