This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Image of Diploma from ORAS, as well as non-blue pentagon Diplomas from XY |
The Diploma (Japanese: しょうじょう honorable certificate) is an item awarded in all of the main handheld Pokémon games for completing various modes of the Pokédex. It is obtained from Game Freak's lead developer after the player has completed their Pokédex.
In Generation I and II, there is only one diploma in the game, awarded for completing the Pokédex. From Generation III onward, there is one diploma awarded for completing the regional Pokédex and a second for completing the National Pokédex.
In Pokémon X and Y, a total of five diplomas are awarded: one for capturing every Pokémon in each of the Kalos Pokédexes, one for obtaining all of those three diplomas, and one for completing the National Pokédex. These diplomas are different if the player completed their Pokédex only with blue pentagon Pokémon.
Obtaining
Location
In all games in which Celadon Condominiums appears, the Game Freak lead developer is located in the Game Freak headquarters there. In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, he is located in the Game Freak building in Castelia City. In games in which a Game Freak building is not present, he is on vacation and found in some kind of temporary accommodation; in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he is on the top floor of Cove Lily Motel in Lilycove City; in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum he is in the northwesternmost house in the Hotel Grand Lake at the Valor Lakefront; in Pokémon X and Y, he is in the Coumarine Hotel in Coumarine City.
Pokédex completion
For a Pokédex to be considered complete, the player must have owned all Pokémon in that Pokédex (except a select few Pokémon). In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, to complete the Sinnoh Pokédex the player only needs to see all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, not own them.
Mythical Pokémon (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie and Hoopa) are not usually required to qualify for diplomas; however, in Pokémon Platinum Manaphy is required to obtain the Sinnoh Pokédex Diploma, and in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Deoxys is required to obtain the National Pokédex Diploma. In the Generation III games and Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Ho-Oh and Lugia are not required to complete the any Pokédex. Prior to Generation VI, Phione is not required to complete any Pokédex.
Function
The diploma is not an item as is not added to the player's inventory; to view it after obtaining it, the player must talk to said lead developer again. In Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon X and Y, the diploma is instead sent to the player's bedroom for display. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the diploma can be hung on the wall of the player's Secret Base.
In Pokémon Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal, if a player owns a Game Boy Printer, they may print out a copy of their diploma.
