Face board

Face boards are a feature that have appeared in the games Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. 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, standing behind the face board causes the camera to zoom onto the face board.

Appearances

Pastoria City

In Pokémon Platinum, 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.

Humilau City

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, 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.

Lilycove City Department Store

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a face board depicting a green member of the Hoenn Rangers Coexistence Force is located at the roof of the Lilycove Department Store.

Mossdeep Space Center

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, a face board of an astronaut is located on the first floor of the Mossdeep Space Center.
