-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 can possibly occur outside of battle due to the effects of {{status|poison}} 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]]. There is no known reason as to why the player blacks out and is not mentioned in the {{pkmn|anime}} or {{pkmn|manga}}.
+The {{player}} will '''black out''' (Japanese: '''めのまえが まっくらになる''' ''lose hope'', lit. ''plunge into darkness'') when all the Pokémon on the player's team [[fainting|faint]]; it is effectively the {{wp|game over}} screen of the Pokémon games. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} (only Generation II in Japanese), it was known as '''whiting out''' (Japanese: '''めのまえが まっしろになる''' ''plunge into white''). This generally occurs in battle, but can also occur outside of battle due to the effects of {{status|poison}} prior to Generation IV.
