We not too long ago talked about Splatoon 3‘s first Splatfest, calling it a bit rocky but fun. And while we don’t know something about October’s Splatfest (other than hoping the custom of a Halloween-themed one continues), we do know that November’s is centered on a Pokemon collab that asks, “When choosing your partner Pokemon, which type would you choose: Grass-type, Fire-type, or Water-type?”

We’ve had Pokemon-themed Splatfests earlier than, however these had been restricted to variations. With three choices, we are able to lastly duke it out to present that Water is the only option determine.

BREAKING NEWS!

We additionally know that there might be bodily Splatfest x Pokemon Spatfest-style shirts accessible at the least from The Pokemon Center in New York, however there are not any full particulars in the intervening time. Note that every shirt exhibits a silhouette of the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet and Violet starters, so it’ll be a pleasant piece of merchandise for these of us with overlapping tastes if we are able to get our palms/tentacles on them.

The Splatfest itself is happening from 7 p.m. EDT on Friday, November eleventh, till the identical time on on Sunday, November thirteenth. Pokemon GO gamers already know Community Day might be November twelfth, however there are not any additional particulars about it at this time limit, so possibly issue that in. And after all, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will launch on Friday, November 18th, so there’s lots to sit up for.

There is some concern that there gained’t be an October Splatfest, because the submit says the Pokemon collab is the “next Splatfest.” There are not any counterpoints other than custom, although some folks assume Halloween season might even see the primary Big Run, a type of Salmon Run that takes place exterior the normal Salmon Run. Nintendo mentioned they happen in “the city,” however the solely preview we’ve seen appears to be like prefer it takes place in Wahoo World, so it might be in conventional Turf War levels.

Again, we don’t know something in regards to the October Splatfest, however for any/all Splat 3 Splatfests, bear in mind we now have Splatfest Sneak Peek, a time period when you’ll be able to construct factors in your staff by taking part in and incomes Conch shells through your catalog ranges. So if you happen to want a while to arrange for the upcoming Pokemon recreation however have work to complete beforehand, Sneak Peek could also be a very good time to grind in some votes. Even if you happen to gained’t be taking part in in Turf War, PvE followers can nonetheless contribute earlier than and throughout the occasion with their shells.

Also, do not forget that throughout the occasion, you need to put on a Splatfest Tee. You might want to put together head and foot gear beforehand. I’d advocate leveling up some armor you’ll be able to grind for further chunks used for gear customization, but in addition avoid wasting money so you’ll be able to scrub that Splatfest Tee for straightforward chunk grinding. Scrubbing the Splatfest Tee solely prices 2,000 cash, as opposed the 20,000 it prices to wash another piece of apparatus.

Finally, for you die-hards, there’ll be a Japanese Splatoon/Pokemon crossover live performance on YouTube at 10:30 p.m. EDT on October eighth. There gained’t be any subtitles for non-Japanese audio system, sadly, but when the inklings sing in their very own language, everybody ought to have the ability to benefit from the live performance equally.
