    Holy cow, I like Marina more than Pearl but that doesn't she's terrible. What's with people today?

    They were expecting Callie and Marie to return. And when that didn't happen, Pearl got the flack as she was assigned a more 'bratty' look. Plus in the American localization, it didn't help that Marina was made more confidant than the Japanese version and likely to verbally snipe at Pearl, which kind of ruins the potential contrast of "the sweet one and the spicy one."

    ...Can't we just love these two? And leave all the hate for the guy who thought "scheduling the salmon run" was a good idea?
