Black out: Difference between revisions

[[File:Overwhelmed by your defeat PE.png|300px|thumb|Being overwhelmed by their defeat from a wild battle in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]

The player will '''black out''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|目の前が真っ暗になる|めのまえがまっくらになる}}}}''' ''lose hope'', lit. ''plunge into darkness'') when all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the player's team [[Fainting|faint]]. This is comparable to a {{wp|game over}} screen for the [[Pokémon games]]. It generally occurs in {{pkmn|battle}} but it can also occur in the overworld due to the effects of {{status|poison}} prior to [[Generation IV]].

In English releases of the [[Generation]] {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} games, and Japanese releases of the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player will instead '''white out''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|目の前が真っ白になる|めのまえがまっしろになる}}}}''' ''plunge into white''). In English versions of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player will instead '''be overwhelmed by their defeat'''. Both of these are identical in function to blacking out.

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 player's money on hand was lost and this loss was not explicitly stated to the player. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and Generation IV onward, however, the money lost depends on the level of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the number of [[Badge]]s earned. In these games, the player receives a message about how much was lost. Prior to Generation VI, the Pokémon will not be given the opportunity to evolve if player blacks out. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player will not lose any money in a wild battle.

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}}, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, White 2]], or in [[Pokémon battle|Link Battles]] and [[Battle facility|battle facilities]]. In FireRed, LeafGreen, and from Generation IV and on, a small cutscene plays featuring a description of the player's rush back to the Pokémon Center and protecting the [[party]] from harm. If the last place healed was the player's house, a slightly different description is shown. If the player blacks out during a [[Sky Battle]] but still has usable Pokémon in their party which were ineligible for the battle, they will not be returned to a Pokémon Center.

{{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Pokémon Storage System healthy party deposit|A glitch}} in [[Generation I]] causes a black out to occur in the overworld without {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon by storing all party Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] except for the ones that have [[Fainting|fainted]].

In {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Gold, Silver}}, {{game|Crystal||Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}}, if the player blacks out after taking the [[Mystery Egg]] from [[Mr. Pokémon]] but before visiting any Pokémon Center, they will be returned to [[Cherrygrove City]]'s Pokémon Center (even if the player has never visited this Pokémon Center). This prevents the player from skipping the first battle with {{ga|Silver|their rival}} by blacking out and returning directly to the player's house.

In [[game|Pokèmon Legends: Arceus]], the player can now take damage directly from wild Pokèmon. Taking too much damage will cause the player to black out.  

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the amount of money lost when the player whites out is half of the money the player has. The player will respawn at the last visited Pokémon Center, or in the [[Outskirt Stand]] if a Pokémon Center has not been used.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the amount of money lost when the player whites out is {{pdollar}}16 × the level of the player's highest-level Pokémon. The player will respawn in a spot in the current location; for example, the player respawns at the entrance to the grounds if the player whites out at [[Kaminko's House]], while the player respawns in Acri's house if the player whites out in [[Gateon Port]].
