The '''{{wp|Game Boy Camera}}''', known as '''Pocket Camera''' (ポケットカメラ, ''Poketto Kamera'') in Japan, is an accessory for the [[Game Boy]] (and compatible with the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]]) released in early 1998 which allows the user to take up to 30 grainy monochrome pictures (although that amount can be increased through third-party devices) and view them and edit them on the Game Boy screen and print them out using the Game Boy Printer. [[Game Freak]] was involved with its development.

*In the 1999 edition of the ''[[Guinness World Records|Guinness Book of World Records]]'', the Game Boy Camera was listed as the world's smallest digital camera.<ref>Young, M. May 1999. ''The Guinness Book of Records 1999'', page 172.</ref>

*While the Game Boy Camera features images of popular Nintendo entities, the user is able to access very strange images of people's faces drawn over. These faces can be accessed if the user presses "Run" numerous times, or if the user presses the A Button if they do not have enough frame shots. If this is done correctly, the faces will appear, with a caption saying "Who are you running from?" appearing. If the player tries to exit, the face might reappear, with the sign saying "Don't be so silly!" appearing. These also appear upon other errors, such as linking to an unavailable printer or creating an animation without pictures.
