It's canonical that people hate Marril, so they're almost hunted to extinction.

Because despite having a lot of improvements over the originals, gold and silver also had tons of problems, the main ones being that most of the new Pokemon were ridiculously hard to find. And the terrible leveling curve. But still is probably my favorite generation cause I played it the most.

I'm looking it up again and I miss the stupid rumors. There was little internet at the time so everything was just word of mouth and no one knew shit.

In the genetic memory of every human that knows Marril is a garbage creature.

that was a beautiful time of the internet because you could find all kinds of cheat code about how to find secret Pokmon and it was all bullshit, but in those days you has no idea if it was real or not until you tried it

In general, Gamefreak has a tendency to reveal a new pokemon to hype up a new gen, then making said pokemon prohibitively difficult to find.

Marril & Snubbull fit that bill, so do Munchlax and, IIRC, Zorua. Hey, at least Togepi was easy to find, though!

This. Although Gen 2 stood out in this regard even so.

It can also evolve past Togetic, into Togekiss (since it's Gen 4).

Holy shit this. Houndoom is my favorite Pokemon and I always hated this about Gen 2.
