Did a quick test run. You will be able to use solorun challenge to pick a specific starter, and then you can forfeit it afterwards. I also further tested and picked up the key item batch over the running shows that you get for a solorun and forfeited afterwards, and it does take those key items back out of your inventory so you don't have to worry about that giving you too much of a handicap.

So for the time being, it seems solo run + quick forfeit is the way to go for a shameful picking of your starter. (Also seems like your rival will always take Magby when you do a solo run, so feel free to go anti-fire on his swag-ass)
