damn i really should try and write down this really cool salmonid based campaign idea i've been cooking in my head for some time like please nintendo give us salmon people not salmon enemies
Splatoon salmonid rambles
Hi ok so big run (grand run?) just passed like yesterday or something and I had the most sickening idea for splatoon 4
I want the story mode to give salmonid lore. I want them to be treated like people. They are a society. They are conscious. They ARE people. But in the games they’re literally just “kill as many of those guys as u can and give me their eggs pls 🐻” which is fine I guess but…they canonically are people. They have culture and beliefs and traditions and music (the music that plays during Salmon Run is made by an in universe band called omega-3 (except the word “omega” is a symbol, probably the Omega symbol but I’m stupid so I wouldn’t know) like they are literally People.
And u might be asking urself “bee wtf does this have to do with a potential story mode for splatoon 4” and to that I say
The total amount of golden eggs gathered during this past Big Run was
1,535,611,351
(For anyone who struggles figuring out how much a big number actually Is, it’s Over one billion and a half. Lotsa eggs)
And I’m very proud of the community for getting that many! That’s really incredibly impressive!! Especially considering how the original quota was 700,000,000 (seven hundred million, also a very big number, but considerably smaller.)
What I want from the story mode of splatoon 4 is the ramifications of this. I want the salmonids to be allies. I want to see their societies, learn about them. I want them to be CHARACTERS, not just ENEMIES.
I think an interesting way to do this would be to have Grizzco be at the center of the evil happenings..again. But this time under the iron fist (paw) of Lil’ Judd. Because if u pay attention to detail, there are some things that possibly imply that Lil’ Judd is running Grizzco while Mr.Grizz is in space. Maybe Lil’ Judd, fueled by his superiority complex, tries to do what Mr.Grizz couldn’t, or maybe something even worse. Maybe Lil’ Judd doesn’t even care about mammals and inkfish and salmonids, he just wants to rule everything, have everlasting control. He doesn’t want to keep living in Judd’s shadow.
Anyways yeah I’ll stop rambling now. Sorry if this makes no sense lmao
