All you have to do is beat the Pokemon League and have caught 60 different Pokemon.
I had more than 60 Pokemon but professor oak did not gave me the national dex
It's surprisingly hard to find the COMPLETE answer to this question. As I was in the same boat as you let me fully answer.
You do of course need to have caught 60 plus Pokemon and beat the elite 4. Do you remember when Bill approached you on cinnabar? Well if you had followed him then you would have gone on a sevii islands mini quest.
Not to worry though, like you I was also more interested in becoming league champion. Bill is still on Cinnabar waiting in the pokecenter. Simply talk to him and follow the quest-line until you arrive back on Cinnabar. Go back to Pallet town, into Oaks lab and talk to him. With all the criteria met he will rate your pokedex and after give you the national dex. (warning you can't leave the islands until the quest is complete, it's short though)
I do see this was asked in Feb, but hopefully this info will help others who are also wondering.
