I'm a contrarian and decided Pearl would be my favorite idol right from the get go.
Glad to see people ended up warming up to her in the end.
Have you ever had a game make you do a complete 180 on your opinion of a character from your initial perception of them?
Octo Expansion did so much for both Marina and Pearl but especially Pearl. I'm dreading seeing them go for their inevitable replacements in the next game.
Honestly, this is the one. I thought you all were memeing, but it really happened.
I really REALLY want to see what foul mouthed punk rock Pearl was like.
How were they revealed? Did they have a Splatoon 1 event?
Gremlin Pearl is indeed an aesthetic alright.
We will experience something similar in the next game.
how would you react if one of them turn out to be male?
I always liked pearl but it was marina that I had to warm up to. I don't like the way her expressions make her look like she's constantly wincing. It was the closeup shots of her during the opening conversations that made it for me
Also as a kid I hated Zangief and now he's far and way my favorite world warrior

This was a segment in one of the Directs. If I recall correctly, the Testfire this time was a Splatfest they did pre-release. People were also freaking the fuck out because Marina was an Octopus living in Inkling society, which was previously unheard of.
