I think the "mar" in it's name can be a reference to the word "Mar",that means "Sea" in Spanish and Portuguese. - ''[[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]]'' | I think the "mar" in it's name can be a reference to the word "Mar",that means "Sea" in Spanish and Portuguese. - ''[[User:Ishlishl|Ishlishl]]'' | ||

Clearly the MAL in Malamar can more easily be related to such words as Malignant, Maleficent, Malicious. So many words, it seems quite silly to just leave the bulbapedia entry at "a combination of mal and calamari". Pedestrian, no? At the very least specify that "mal" is indeed a prefix followed by something like "from the Latin Malus, meaning bad". | Clearly the MAL in Malamar can more easily be related to such words as Malignant, Maleficent, Malicious.

I mean do we really need to link what Mal stands for when it can be easily described? Calamari, ok, not everyone may know what that is. However, I have yet to see another pokemon page link to a prefix... | ||
I hate to be such a stickler, but it's really bugging me. I think it should be addressed. | I hate to be such a stickler, but it's really bugging me. I think it should be addressed. | ||
