Win 1 of 9 Pre-Orders of Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet for The Nintendo Switch [Max 3 AU Winners] from Bulbagarden

To enter, make a comment under the linked news post, answering one simple question: Which starter Pokémon are you planning to use in Scarlet or Violet, and why?
You do not need to have had an account beforehand (though you might if you entered one of our contests from Christmas last year), but you will be prompted to register an account when you go to make your post if you don't have one already.

Please note that your post may end up in a moderation queue initially. All entries made before the closing date (Saturday September 17th at 4:59pm, Australian Eastern Standard Time), even if they are still in the moderation queue at that time, will be considered valid. You'll find that your response gets through automated moderation quicker if you do not quote the initial news post, and simply type your response directly.

Your response can be as long as you like, but must actually answer the question. For example, "I'm planning on using Quaxly in my first Scarlet playthrough because I haven't used a Water-type starter since Gen IV!" would be a good response, but "I'm going to use the green one, just because." would not be. Final judgement on if a sufficient answer has been given will rest with the Bulbagarden staff.

Due to Amazon pre-order limitations in several countries, there is a maximum of three winners from any one geographic region.
