In , there are several characters who the can collect information about in the Fame Checker.
Each character who appears in the Fame Checker has six different entries that can be unlocked. Each of these entries corresponds to a quote about the character that the player can encounter within the game. When the player encounters this dialogue in the game, it will be registered in their Fame Checker. Each entry has a title (e.g. "Favorite kind of Pokémon", "Friends and Family", etc.), a location (which does not necessarily correspond to the save location), and the character or text being quoted; additionally, the overworld sprite of the character or object that provided the quote appears as an icon that represents that entry. Prior to unlocking an entry, it appears as a question mark with no title or indication of where the player can unlock it.
These quotes can come from a variety of sources: the character themselves, major characters, unnamed NPCs, NPC Trainers, signs, , etc.
Once all six data pieces are obtained in a person's section, the player can read a message that that character has sent directly to the player.
