Face board

Face boards (Japanese: or ハメ ) are a feature that debuted in and have since become a recurring element in the core series games. 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.
