If I bought the game (I wont unless it's god-tier and less than $60), I'd box my starter like I almost always do. The only exceptions to that rule so far are Meowscarada (female) and Primarina (female), and that's not going to change.
I just don't like using starters in Pokemon games, they make the game (mainly the beginning) too easy and I've always had this kind of autistic thing where I feel everyone using starters makes their parties too samey and soulless.
This also applies to legendaries and mythicals
