I wasn't even aware there was a script for starter selection. I'd only ever made a choice with three branches for each starter. You could certainly make multiple starters if you use conditional branches cleverly, with a bunch of pbAddPokemon commands.

I thought starters are added by events created in the maker. The only script used is pbAddPokemon.
Now, I don't know how the player actually picks the starter in your game. If it's the "classic" way, like picking a Pokeball from the table, create a Pokeball for every starter, with 3 pages:
1) On the first page, make a message similar to "Would you like *insert starter name*?", and a Yes/No choice. If yes, then make a pbAddPokemon script, along with a selfswitch A, and a global switch that indicates that the player has chosen a starter already.
2) The condition for the second page should be the global switch - the graphic should display a Pokeball, and when the player interacts with it, a message should appear like "This is one of professor *professor name* remaining Pokemon", or something else that indicates that the player has already chosen a Pokemon.
3) The third page is blank, and the condition is the selfswitch. This way, the Pokeball the player chose will disappear.
That should do it, I think.

Of corse that this is possible and even can be easily done by eventing, my game has this feature.
Take a look in the "Pokémon Lab" example map, only copy the pokéball and change the pokémon.
I thinks that Maruno needs to highlight more the sample starter selection.

It is entirely possible. The game I'm making has 14 starters. Every starter from Kanto to Sinnoh, this includes Yellow version starters (Eevee and Pikachu) its done the same way. Just make sure you change the value. Normally it would be 1-3 but you just increase the value by one for each new starter.
