- In the early Gold & Silver 1997 demo, Marill was designed to be a pink Water-type Pokémon without its evolution Azumarill.
Origin[]
Marill is a mix between a mouse and a beach ball. Its tail might be inspired by spherical lifesaving floats or buoys. Its ears are akin to the shape of water molecules. It may also be based on water rats, which are rodents that live near the riverside.
Etymology[]
Marill and its Japanese name Maril may be named after "maru" (which means round in Japanese) or "mari" (ball in Japanese) and "ruri" (lapis lazuli in Japanese), as well as "rill", which means a small stream. It may also been named after the color marine blue.
