 [[File:XY Kalos Diploma.png|thumb|right|A diploma given after finishing all three Kalos Pokédexes (Pokémon X and Y)]]
-The '''Diploma''' is an item awarded in all of the main handheld Pokémon games for completing various modes of the [[Pokédex]]. It is always obtained from [[Game Freak]]'s lead developer, usually at their headquarters at [[Celadon Condominiums]]. In games where a Game Freak building is not visitable, he's on vacation at the top floor of Cove Lily Motel at [[Lilycove City]] (in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}), at the northwesternmost house of the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] at the [[Valor Lakefront]] (in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}), or {{DL|Coumarine City|Coumarine Hotel}} (in [[Pokémon X and Y]]), where he also gives out the diploma. The diploma is not an item in the regular sense as it is not added to the {{player}}'s inventory; to view it after obtaining it, the player must talk to said lead developer again. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the diploma is instead sent to the player's [[bedroom]] for display.

In {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|X and Y|s}}, the diploma is instead sent to the player's [[bedroom]] for display.
 In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, there is only one diploma in the game, awarded for capturing most of the Pokémon revealed at the time. From [[Generation III]] onwards, there is one diploma awarded for completing the [[regional Pokédex]] and a second for completing the [[national Pokédex|national one]]. [[Event Pokémon|Event Legendary Pokémon]] ({{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}}), as well as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} in the Generation III games and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and {{p|Phione}} prior to Generation VI, are not required to qualify for any of the diplomas. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, one needs to only see all of the Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to qualify for the regional version of the diploma.
