► In the world of Pokemon, it is every professor's dream to see the young trainers they bestow the high tech Pokedex encyclopedia someday return to their lab with every entry completed. But what actually happens when you complete the Pokedex? What do you get? How do the professors react? Today, I'll be playing through Pokemon Sword and Shield for the nintendo switch and seeing what happens, what kinds of rewards and how people react to a completed Pokedex! Is it worth completing the Pokedex? Lets find out!

About the Pokedex!
► The Pokédex is a digital encyclopedia created by Professor Oak as an invaluable tool to Trainers in the Pokémon world. It gives information about all Pokémon in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region. Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, cry, footprint (prior to Generation VI), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.

Gets a certificate:
“Wow look at that... that’s not even a real reward in-universe”

[earthwill]

Just a little tip : I found out that if you talk to the game director before you complete your Pokédex you will get a catching charm which basically boosts your critical catch chance which is definitely helpful when you are trying to complete your Pokédex

[ZackieSenpai]

*Reason why I'm unemployed*
Employer: What's your special ability?


Me: *Shows the certificate*

[DR-nhkh]

The reason why the professors dint care because they know you didnt really catch them all just caught what was available lol

[oliverbruggemann]

Kinda sad the professor doesn't even say anything

[Ness_Dreemurr]

Game: hey, you caught all 400 Pokemon!

I can't help but laugh whenever i see Galarian moewth, it looks like an old man with a beard thats been wondering the forest for way to long..

[Cherrybomb]

The director looks like a surgeon because he had to cut the game in half and still try to keep it alive.

[DiogoPT]

If GameFreak doesn't care for the Pokédex, why would the Professor care?
