FAMECHECKER
The Fame Checker is an FrLg-only device given to the player by his or her rival just before hitting the Nugget Bridge. It was basically a feature in the game that allowed players to collect facts about each of the most important characters in the game in order to get bits of backstory and learn a little more about the Pokémon world than had been previously possible in the games. Each character got six quotes scattered throughout the game (including from signs and bookshelves) that went towards unlocking a secret seventh quote from the characters themselves.
For this game series, Bill was actually considered to be one of the NPCs important enough to have his own page in the Fame Checker, but luckily, many of his quotes are pretty easy to find. Consider this a very short guide on who to talk to in order to get Bill's page completed.
