Concerning the new singing duo, Nintendo really could've done a better job designing Pearl. Marina is so obviously the superior one it isn't funny. At least you felt the design and fans were balanced between Callie and Marie :v:

Wow there's a shitload of content seemingly in this game - I'm impressed

Funnily enough, there was so much "bullying" of Pearl since the reveal, people started to sympathize and like her equally to Marina.
Pearl was also fan favorite in Japan from day 1. So that versus Splatfest in 2 years might also be as tight in the results as Callie vs Marie was (3pts apart iirc).

I'm thinking now it will be a mix of people feeling sorry for her and people who like her because of all the jokes coming out of her design that will make them end up as equals. I was surprised Pearl was so popular in Japan, though.

It's a sort of 3-way mix right now.
People feeling sorry for her.
People enjoying the memes about her, thus siding with her.
People who genuinely like her personality.
As for where I stand, I actually lean a bit heavier on her personality. Yeah, she comes off as bratty and sassy, but it's almost in a sort of cute tryhard way.
I still prefer Marina, but Pearl is growing on me.
I like Pearl because we're both little short meme gremlins.
Found this edit to be pretty great.

I love this fanart of her :v:

If they gave Pearl bangs she'd look at least a little better. Right now she just has a receding hairline.
