A Splatoon 3 Pokemon Splatfest is coming!

A Splatoon 3 Pokemon Splatfest is on the way in which, because of a brand new announcement from Nintendo simply this morning. It’ll drive you to decide on between a grass, hearth, and water starter: and make the identical laborious selection you made a long time in the past (or in no matter technology you began in).

Right here’s what Nintendo has to say in regards to the upcoming occasion:

“Grass-type. Hearth-type. Water-type. Since 1998 (or 1996 relying on the place you lived), this debate has perplexed our nice philosophers. Within the Pokemon collection, gamers sometimes begin their journey by selecting a Pokemon with one among these three sorts. Every has its personal strengths and weaknesses (actually – it’s a part of the sport!).”

Ideally, this may happen in spite of everything of the Splatfest modifications occur. As a reminder, Nintendo gave us the next assertion final month, noting {that a} non permanent repair was being carried out, however it wasn’t a long run answer:

“Please notice that the modifications to Tricolor Battle frequency needs to be thought of non permanent. For now, there shall be considerably extra situations of gamers deciding on Tricolor Battle however being positioned in a Turf Struggle battle as a substitute. Going ahead, Splatfest-matchmaking specs will proceed to be adjusted, and this subject shall be rectified. We’re planning to implement these changes with the brand new season starting in December. The subsequent patch will focus totally on steadiness changes and different points that have been exterior the scope of the present patch. We proceed to look at and analyze battle information and are planning to make changes on the midpoint of the present season.”

That first repair wasn’t excellent, as people nonetheless had points with Splatfest connections, on prime of steadiness issues and the frequency of Tricolor Battles. Your complete mode nearly looks like it’s in a beta state, so hopefully Nintendo has been gathering tons of information and might correctly implement one thing that can work for everybody going ahead. Given how essentially wonky among the steadiness is, I don’t envy all of that fine-tuning.

When does the Splatoon 3 Pokemon Splatfest begin?

Every little thing will kick off on November 11 at 4PM PT, via November 13 at that very same time. You will have a while to decide! I believe I’ll must go together with my OG 1998 choose: Bulbasaur (grass).
