Why does the MC "white-out" or "black-out" after losing a battle? Do they literally faint and fall unconscious on the floor?

He spills his spaghetti so hard he runs away crying with his fainted pokemon to the nearest center. The embarrassment is so intense he already forgets everything about it by the time his pokemon have healed.

The game needs to teleport you. Because you would get murdered by wild pokemon on the way to the poke center.

But the game needs victory dialogue for npc when they crush you. I really liked losing to nessa a marnie but it sucks they cant brag about it . Before you pass out

It’s just a way for the game to prevent players from being without at least one non-fainted Pokémon in their party.

I don't think they're the type to brag about it. I think whitney might. She probably has some in the PWT

But why would you become fucking unconscious and pass out, fall on the floor? What's the canonical reason? Why can't they just say "MC ran to the nearest Pokémon Center" without them losing their fucking conscience. It's extremely stupid.

Pretty sure it is just a hold over from the more traditional jrpg mechanics in gen 1. They could have gone with something better, but gen 1 was basically smashing two genres together and seeing if it worked.

You were attacked by the opposing pokémon and had nothing to block the damage.

Why would the other trainers attack you with their Pokémon? I'd understand it if it was the villain teams, but the regular trainers you found on routes? They don't faint either, they just stand there like nothing happened.

It's like how in resident evil your character will get bitten by zombies multiple times but never get the virus.

It's not comparable. I know you (the main character) can die and respawn in most other video games. But in Pokémon, there is no logical reason why the main character would suffer physical consequences from losing a battle. The mons in your party are the ones receiving damage and fainting (dying). You just run to the Pokémon Center to heal them (respawn). There's no reason why YOU the player, should pass out.

I think it's suppossed to be the case of "panicked so hard you run to the nearest pokemon center on autopilot". MC doen't remember the journey to the pokemon center, hence the "whited out/blacked out" part. The Japanese text is something like 目の前が真っ白になった (everything became white before your eyes).

Oddly its one of those things I've never thought about but im pretty sure the game never explicitly said you pass out, just that "you cant see anything anymore".
Also iiirc, in older games when you lost a battle you just dropped the money on the ground like a retard

I like to imagine that if I passout in Pokemon the cats from Monster Hunter come get me in a cart and roll me to the Poke center like they do if you get knocked out in Monster Hunter games.

why do "white-out" and "black-out" mean the same thing when they are the 2 most different colors

Do characters in the anime or manga "black out" when all their Pokemon faint?

No, so it's just a game mechanic, not something that actually happens in Pokemon's universe.

In Japan, it's not black/white out, it's "lose hope"

White-out means you see everything white, black-out means you don't see anything. They are both the result of losing consciousness.

Also, LGPE and Sword/Shield changed it to "overwhelmed by your defeat", which means the same thing as the original Japanese

I thought it was supposed to be a gag based on the kind of screen you see after losing (white/black depending on the game).

As a kid, I would imagine it as your character getting attacked by the opposing mon.
I guess that could make sense for wild mons and villain fights, but why would a regular trainer's team attack you? I was a dumb kid sometimes.
I guess >>46580301 makes far more sense than my kid self's stupid imagination.
