I feel like pearl and larry are too much in the uncanny valley between being main characters and side characters to be all that much of a draw. for a new spongebob character i think it'd be better to do a deep cut that's still memorable, so someone like bubble buddy or doodlebob who had a big debut episode but didn't become a background char.
I think Ember’s down special and EX side special is underrated.
