After skipping October, it’s Splatfest time once again in Splatoon 3! And in anticipation of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet’s launch next week, it has to be a Pokémon-themed one, doesn’t it?
And Splatoon is asking the age-old question that longtime Pokémon fans agonise over with every new Pokémon generation — which Starter type will you choose? Or, as Nintendo puts it “What’s your partner Pokémon type?”.
As with every Splatoon 3 Splatfest, you’ll get to pick from one of three teams – Grass-type, represented by Shiver; Fire-type, represented by Frye; and Water-type, represented by Big Man (he may as well be Mantine, after all). Perhaps your potential Scarlet & Violet starter type is influencing your vote?
The last Splatfest, which took place in September, put your deserted island accompaniments up against each other — Gear, Grub, or Fun. And Team Gear won.
Since the Pokémon Splatfest kicks off this weekend, we want to know which team you’ll be fighting for in this weekend’s event! Vote in our poll below, and check out our guide for all of the details of the event:
