In {{g|X and Y}}, 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 completed their Pokédex only with {{DL|origin mark|blue pentagon}} Pokémon.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, an additional Diploma can be received if the player shows the Game Freak lead developer a Pokémon that was originally caught in either {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or {{game|Emerald}}; unlike most diplomas, this one is customized according to the Pokémon shown to the developer, with its Generation III sprite appearing in the bottom-left corner.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, instead of a diploma, the player is given {{DL|Trainer Card (game)|stamps}} on their {{ga|Trainer Card}} for completing the various regional Pokédexes. In these games you can catch all existing Pokémon as of this generation, however, there is no reward for doing so, likely because the National Pokédex is not obtainable in these games. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can receive a diploma from the director for completing their Kanto Pokédex; due to only Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex existing in these games.

Since [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the National Pokédex no longer exists but the player will receive a diploma for completing the region's Pokédex.

** The diplomas in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black and White)|regional]] and [[National Pokédex|National]], are the only ones to require Pokémon that were [[event]]-exclusive at the time of release (prior to the release of {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}), {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, which turn out to be only non-[[Mythical Pokémon]] to have been event-exclusive for a time.

** The only diplomas to not require at least one non-Mythical Pokémon included in the corresponding Pokédex are in [[Generation VI]]. Namely, [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Coastal Kalos Pokédex]] with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}, [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Mountain Kalos Pokédex]] with {{p|Mewtwo}}, [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos Pokédexes]] with the four Pokémon combined, and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation VI)|expanded Hoenn Pokédex]] with {{p|Rayquaza}}. In other words, the diploma for [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]] is the only [[Regional Pokédex|regional]] diploma in the generation to actually require all included non-Mythical Pokémon.
