>>22338766>>22338785The Marill line is pretty much confirmed to not be a Pikaclone as far as Gamefreak is concerned. One of the battle screen backgrounds that you could select in XY featured Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, and Dedenne. No Marill. I'd say that's as close to an official word as we'll get on the subject.
