The Fame Checker (Art by Ken Sugimori)

The Fame Checker (Japanese: ボイスチェッカー Voice Checker) is a Key Item that appears in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. It records miscellaneous information about famous people (such as Gym Leaders).

Location and uses of the Fame Checker

Generation III

The Fame Checker is given to the player after the defeat of their rival at Cerulean City. Each time a predetermined piece of data is revealed to the player about a famous person listed within the Fame Checker (through mediums such as Pokémon Journal), it will be recorded. This information is arranged into categories, first by character, then in subcategories in an attempt to give a more or less whole perspective of the character in question (eg, "Favourite kind of Pokémon", "Friends and Family", etc.). The player can observe these pieces of information at their will at any time. Once all six data pieces are obtained in a person's section, a message directly from that person will be obtained. Though interactive, the Fame Checker does not affect to the story or playability of the game, but is apparently intended to be useful to those who are interested.

The Fame Checker is similar to the "Check" option of the Match Call section in the Pokénav.

Stored Characters

The characters who have information stored in the Fame Checker in Generation III are as follows:

Design

The Fame Checker is a simple design. It is a dark red color and has a screen roughly the size of the Pokédex screen. It has four black circular buttons on the left side. and on the right side is a Poké Ball being split into three different positions; Top, Ball and Bottom. The back is presumably the same color with batteries or a rechargeable port/slot. It also resembles a more rounded (and presumably larger) version of a Game Boy Micro.
