Today Nintendo announced that a new Splatfest is coming to Splatoon 3 next month, and it’s a special one dedicated to Pokemon.
This time around, the battle will be among supporters of grass-type, fire-type, and water-type Pokemon, matching the historical starter types that you can choose whenever you begin a game belonging to the popular franchise.
If you have a favorite and want it to win, the Splatfest will launch on Nov. 11 at 4:00 pm Pacific Time.
The timing certainly isn’t random, as the next Pokemon, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, launches the week after, on Nov. 18. Its starter pokemon are Sprigatito (grass), Fuecoco (fire), and Quaxly (water), if that helps you choose your side for the Splatfest.
At the moment, it appears that the usual Halloweenfest isn’t coming.
