A '''print''' (Japanese: '''プリント''') is a feature in {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that requires the [[Game Boy Printer]]. The quality of prints is managed in the [[options]] and the game uses three messages during the process: CHECKING LINK → TRANSMITTING → PRINTING. | A '''print''' (Japanese: '''プリント''') is a feature in {{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} that requires the [[Game Boy Printer]].

Both the feature and its settings were removed in the Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as the Game Boy Printer was not released in South Korea. | |||
The background music played while printing is the same in all four games ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svgdJwCkx1c listen]). It was later rearranged and used as the theme of the [[Pokéwalker]] screens in the [[main menu]] of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. | |||
==Printable features== | |||
===Pokédex stickers=== | |||
The player can print physical copies of the [[Pokédex]] entries of individual {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by using the '''PRNT''' option in the Pokédex. These prints are referred to in-game as Pokédex stickers. | |||
In the Western versions, the dimensions of Pokédex stickers (160×192 px) exceed those of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen resolution (160×144 px) because the print combines the two pages of the Pokédex entry. The stickers in the Japanese versions do not have this quirk because the Pokédex entries only use a single page. On the other hand, the Japanese prints in the [[Generation II]] games use a different font from the games themselves. | |||

===Diploma=== | |||
The [[diploma]] can also be printed as proof by the graphic artist at the Game Freak Development Room on the third floor of [[Celadon Condominiums]]. Printed diplomas are larger than the Game Boy's screen resolution in all releases of the games (160×288 px), and the Japanese Generation II games do not change the font like in the prints of Pokédex entries. | |||

===PC boxes=== | |||
The list of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a given [[Pokémon Storage System]] box can also be printed. Printed boxes include the full box, including vacant spots. [[Nickname]]s are also listed alongside the Pokémon's species name. Western versions include the box's 20 entries for Pokémon, while the Japanese version includes the box's 30 entries. | |||
====Unown==== | |||
In the [[Generation II]] games, players may generate so-called Alph Ruin Stamps of individual {{p|Unown}} using the printer at the [[Ruins of Alph]] Research Center. The stamps are stored alongside the box data of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] and printed along with the box. | |||
===Party Pokémon=== | |||
The [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] in [[Vermilion City]] in {{game|Yellow}} can print out one of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Party|Pokémon List]]. | |||
===Pikachu's Beach hi-score=== | |||
The player may print a black-and-white copy of the screen showing their [[Pikachu's Beach]] hi-score in {{game|Yellow}} by using the printer at Summer Beach House on {{rt|19|Kanto}}. | |||
===Mail=== | |||
[[Mail]] in the [[Generation II]] games can also be printed. | |||
==Printer errors== | |||
If there is an issue with the printer, the games return four types of errors and instruct the player to check the [[Game Boy Printer]] Manual. | |||
