Origin?

Karamanero could be based off of the Kraken. Dialgafan1 (talk) 15:22, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I agree, although, I believe that, especially based on its dark primary typing, it also may be based on the Humboldt squid in particular, also known as the Diablo rojo, which translates to "red devil".--ShinyPatch (talk) 20:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Especially thinking that because of it's really long tentacles. It's face also kinda of looks like a Kraken. Dialgafan1 (talk) 00:28, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Name

Karamanero could be also named after a brazilian slang, Cara Maneiro, that means "cool dude" in a free translation. --Mrmoura (talk) 18:03, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I agree with you.I'm Brazilian,and it seems like a possible name origin - Ishlishl
Even if it does mean that, it doesn't make any sense for Karamanero. Ataro (talk) 00:47, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
its also may come from the japanese word of "nero" a imperative form of "neru", which means "sleep". This is due It can learn the move "Hypnosis" mentioned in http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/New_Pok%C3%A9mon,_Gym_Leaders,_Team_Flare_surface_in_CoroCoro Yousuf89 (talk) 11:30, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Name origin?

Most likely to me, given its squiddy nature and its Dark typing, is malicious and calamari. Zakitano (talk) 15:34, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Type combination

I think its worth mentioning that 'No other pokemon has the same type as Malamar and its pre-evolution' Benjabby (talk) 16:40, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

We can't assume until we know the rest of the generation's Pokémon. What if actually some more Pokémon are going to have this combination? Kikugi (talk) 17:02, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

name origin

I'm pretty sure malicous since it's a dark is more likely than mal, especially since there will probably be female malamar anyway 0danmaster0 (talk) 06:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

That would be male. Mal- is a prefix that means bad. --超龍Chao 07:23, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
I probably should have read the entire Wiktionary page lol. although you should mention that it comes from mal or malicous 0danmaster0 (talk) 08:09, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
