The {{player}} will '''black out''' when all the Pokémon on the player's team faint; it is effectively the {{wp|game over}} screen of the Pokémon games. This generally occurs in battle, but will occasionally happen out of battle due to {{status|poison}}ing in the first three [[generation]]s. It was known as a '''white out''' in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}} for unknown reasons, but returned to the original name in [[Generation IV]] | The {{player}} will '''black out''' when all the Pokémon on the player's team faint; it is effectively the {{wp|game over}} screen of the Pokémon games.

The player will lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. In {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, the money will be paid to the winner, but in battles with [[wild Pokémon]], the money will be dropped in panic. Before [[Generation IV]], half of the money on hand was lost and this loss was not explicitly stated to the player. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and the Generation IV games, however, the money lost depends on the level of the Trainer's Pokémon and the number of badges he/she has earned. In these games, the player receives a message about how much was lost. | The player will lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

Furthermore, the player will rush back to the last visited [[Pokémon Center]] to restore their Pokémon's health. This will not occur in special occasions such as the player's initial battle as a Trainer in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{v2|Platinum}}, or in facilities of the [[Battle Frontier]]. | Furthermore, the player will rush back to the last visited [[Pokémon Center]] to restore their Pokémon's health.
