Today, Nintendo announced that the next Splatfest set to take place in November will be Pokémon-themed and give players the ability to choose whether to rep grass types, fire types, or water types during the three-day-long battle. The Splatoon x Pokémon event comes just as Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet are set to debut on the Nintendo Switch, making this a timely little bit of corporate synergy, but the question being asked is an eternal one.
The Pokémon Splatfest will take place from Friday, November 11th, at 4PM PT / 7PM ET to Sunday, November 13th, at 4PM PT / 7PM ET.
