Earlier today, Nintendo revealed on its Twitter account that the next Splatfest for Splatoon 3 will be Pokémon-themed. The announcement arrived with the millenary question for Poké-fans: are you grass, fire, or water type? The Splatfest will take place in-game from the November 11.
Grass-type. Fire-type. Water-type. This debate has perplexed our great philosophers for ages. Let’s settle it.

Here is an overview of the event via Nintendo.com:
Grass-type. Fire-type. Water-type. Since 1998 (or 1996, depending on where you lived), this debate has perplexed our great philosophers. In the Pokémon series, players typically start their adventure by choosing a Pokémon with one of these types. Each has its strengths, and each has its weaknesses. (they have strengths and weaknesses—it’s part of the game!)
But now we bring the question back to you. When choosing your partner Pokémon, which type would you choose: Grass-type, Fire-type, or Water-type? If you have thoughts on this subject, let’s settle it in a Splatfest!
Yep, it’s true—the next Splatfest in the Splatoon 3 game will be a Splatoon x Pokémon collaboration. Splatfests are special, limited-time events in Splatoon 3. The Splatsville hub area gets decorated in a fancy way, and players with any Nintendo Switch Online membership can choose to champion one of three causes. After making your choice, you’ll participate in Splatfest Battles, where the goal is to ink as much of the stage as possible without getting splatted too often. At the end of the event, the winning side will be revealed, and in-game goodies will be handed out (with the winning side getting more, of course).
So, is the grass greener on your side? Does reading this make you all fired up? Do you want to splash cold water on your opponents’ hopes and dreams? Well, it might be time to start practicing. The Splatfest will take place: from Friday, November 11 at 4 p.m. to Sunday, November 13 at 4 p.m. PT.
