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 {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|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 (e.g. "Favorite kind of Pokémon", "Friends and Family", etc.). The player can observe these pieces of information at their will at any time. In numerous cases, these information pieces have requirements that must be fulfilled first to acquire that particular quote (ex. post-{{DL|Elite Four|Kanto/Johto Elite Four|Elite Four}}). Once all six data pieces are obtained in a person's section, a message directly from that person will be obtained.

It serves a slightly different purpose of recording and storing voice messages. {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} return to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak's lab]] at the start of the arc and come across two Fame Checkers meant for them. A message recorded onto the Fame Checkers from {{adv|Professor Oak}} tells the two [[Pokédex holder]]s to deposit their Pokédexes in an item transfer machine and head to the [[Sevii Islands]] with the {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}} issued to them. This was in fact the [[Team Rocket]] member [[Orm]] forcing Oak to take the Pokédexes from them for the evil organization's benefits. Oak had recorded the entire conversation between himself and his kidnapper on the Fame Checker meant for {{adv|Green}}. A while later, Green used the recording on her Fame Checker to reveal the truth to Red, who had been dispirited after his defeat to {{adv|Deoxys}}.
Fame Checkers first appeared in ''[[PS269|Return to Pallet Town]]''.

In ''[[PS282|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 {{adv|Deoxys}}. However, what Orm hadn't noticed was that Professor Oak had secretly turned on {{adv|Green}}'s Fame Checker while being attacked, recording the conversation between him and Orm into it.

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). It is similar to the PokéNav's Trainer Eyes and Match Call.

The Fame Checker has a simple design. It is dark red 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 it has a Poké Ball-shaped button or wheel split into three different portions.

A Fame Checker in Pokémon Adventures

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".
