Awesome / Pokémon Unbound

• Managing to beat the game on Capped True Insane Difficulty is one for any player. To earn such an achievement, they have to play on a fresh playthrough of Insane all the way to the end, without changing anything in the Options. It's Unbound's hardest difficulty setting, stated in game to be designed as a near-impossible task, and anyone who completes it deserves praise.
• A villainous one for Ivory: even after Jax and the Player defeat her on Route 9, it turns out she had a backup plan running in case things went south – by siccing two hostages turned newly transformed Shadow Warriors on the pair, forcing them into another battle to free them from control. She then leaves in plain view of them.
• Over the course of the game, the Shadows manage to capture Articuno and Moltres, and even when another Trainer like Jax gives chase, they manage to get away with their prize. But then it comes to Zapdos's capture, and the Player not only climbs to the top of Thundercap Mt. all alone, they knock out all the Shadow Grunts along the way, and fight AND defeat Marlon and his newly acquired Zapdos. All this forces Marlon to give up his prize, as he has no more Shadow Warriors or Pokémon to battle with, and so can't stop the Player from taking Zapdos back. All by themselves.
  • This does get subverted afterwards, however, when Aklove just uses Hoopa to summon another Zapdos from another world as a replacement for the upcoming ritual.
• The Player is an absolute force to be reckoned with throughout the story, defeating several Legendary Pokémon, sometimes back-to-back without rest, including Raikou, Entei, Suicune (all back to back), Ho-Oh, Lugia (also back to back), Primal Groudon, Giratina, Reshiram and Zekrom (in a Dual Boss fight), Mega Rayquaza and Hoopa-Unbound (also a Dual Boss, and is back to back with a Dynamaxed Hoopa-Unbound immediately after on Insane difficulty).
• Jax's "The Reason You Suck" Speech aimed at Aklove during the Post Game, calling him out for nearly destroying Borrius fuelled by a delusional fantasy.
  "Let's say you're right. Let's say the legend's true and the king's still alive. But 3000 years...Do you really think not a second of that was spent on reflection? On regret? Isn't it possible he no longer wants war? How would you know? You just projected your desires onto a myth and nearly destroyed our region because of it!"
  • And Jax is completely right – anyone who's played X & Y knows that AZ comes to fully regret everything, something that Aklove neither knows or apparently cares about.
