In most of the games, the reward for catching all the Pokémon available in the game was a [[diploma]], proof of the feat. However, from the beginning, rumors appeared about a greater reward for attaining the ultimate goal of catching them all. Specifically, in Red and Blue, rumors circulated that after the player had {{pkmn2|caught}} the 150 {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, if they showed their full [[Pokédex]] to the [[Game Freak]] employees in [[Celadon Condominiums]], they would be rewarded with the elusive 151st Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}. These rumors, however, were false, as the only reward offered for capture of 150 Pokémon was the Diploma; Mew was only officially available through [[Nintendo]]-sponsored events, though otherwise available through the [[Mew glitch]].

In the Generation IV games, by the time the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} are defeated, the player will have seen almost all of the Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], if not all 150; it is possible to do this even before entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. The reward for this is the National Pokédex, allowing the player to go on a true quest to actually catch them all once more, though this feat requires catching more than three times as many Pokémon as it would take to complete the Sinnoh Pokédex. Catching 482 (or 484 in HeartGold and SoulSilver) of the 493 Pokémon—{{p|Mew}}, {{p|Lugia}}{{tt|*|Sinnoh games only}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}{{tt|*|Sinnoh games only}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}} are not required—results in the awarding of another diploma.

The first Generation V games, {{2v2|Black|White}}, continue the tradition, with 156 Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number#List of Pokémon by Old Unova Pokédex number|new listing]] (though only 152 are required for diploma - {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}} are not). The National diploma requires 636 Pokémon ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}} aren't required).

The sequels to the Generation V games are different, however, giving an actual reward for catching them all. The {{key|V|Permit}} is awarded for seeing 297 out of [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|301 Pokémon]] (as before,  {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, and {{p|Genesect}} are not required), which gives player the access to the [[Nature Preserve]]. After catching them all, [[Professor Juniper]] will give the player the [[Oval Charm]], which increases the chances of Pokémon producing {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the Daycare. Finally, after completing the National Pokédex (barring {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}}), she will also give the player the {{key|V|Shiny Charm}} after the player talks to [[Cedric Juniper|Cedric]], which makes [[Shiny Pokémon]] more likely to appear.

In Generation VI, the player once again receives the diploma from the Game Director, and receives the diploma from [[Professor Sycamore]]. {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Diancie}} are not required to complete the Pokédex.
