In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Fame Checkers first appeared in Return to Pallet Town. When Red and Blue returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory in Pallet Town, they discovered a pair of Fame Checkers and Tri-Passes left for them by Professor Oak. On the Fame Checkers, the two Pokédex holders heard a voice message from the Professor himself, asking them to deposit their Pokédexes into the PC Item Storage System, much to their surprise.
In Going Green, it was revealed that Professor Oak had been forced to make the aforementioned voice messages by Orm as a part of Team Rocket's plan to have Professor Oak reverse-engineer Team Rocket their own version of the Pokédex in preparation of catching Deoxys. However, what Orm hadn't noticed was that Professor Oak had secretly turned on Green's Fame Checker while being attacked, recording the conversation between him and Orm into it.
Trivia
- In Koga's Fame Checker entries, his daughter Janine is incorrectly identified as "Charine".
