In [[Generation VI]], a total of five diplomas are awarded: one for capturing every Pokémon in each of the [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]], one for obtaining all of those three diplomas, and one for completing the National Pokédex. These diplomas are different if the player finished their Pokedex only with Pokémon from Kalos. Like in Generation V, these diplomas are sent to the player's bedroom.

In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, it was long rumored that the player could obtain {{p|Mew}} from Game Freak's lead developer in [[Celadon Condominiums]] after completing the [[Pokédex]] of 150 Pokémon. However, this is false; instead, a diploma is awarded for finishing the Pokédex.
