Ruling Changing Active before game starts?

[PikaTheXIII]

Okay when you draw your starting hand and put down a basic, say your opponent didnt get one, and u drew and extra card that was a basic. So if you placed it on your bench are you allowed to switch? Also, do you have to put an active down before you draw your extra card?

 

[King Arceus]

You can't change active Pokemon if you draw an extra card that happens to be a basic. You first put down your active Pokemon then lay out your prizes. Finally, you may draw a card.

You may however put that new basic on your bench. Just not as your active.
