Pokemon Y (video game): Acts - the game is the subject of the video and the creator is discussing choices within it. Removing it would fundamentally change the video's topic. Pokemon X (video game): Acts - mentioned as a point of comparison to Pokemon Y. Removing it would change the context of the creator's choices. Froakie (Pokemon character): Acts - mentioned as the starter choice, central to the creator's narrative. Removing it would change the video's subject.
