Well, I filled in the missing names on the list, but I'm going to avoid adding page links for them for the time being, both here and in related Medarot sections on Medarot pages.
My reasoning is that A) the spelling is still pretty hazy on most of them (which will make updating links a pain), and B) nobody here has played the game enough to have much to say about these guys. >_> I figure we can hold of making any Shingata model pages for a while, at the very least until we have some of their sprites ripped. ~ [[User:Kimbles|Kimbles]] 13:44, 18 June 2014 (MDT)

Update

Well, I filled in the missing names on the list, but I'm going to avoid adding page links for them for the time being, both here and in related Medarot sections on Medarot pages.

My reasoning is that A) the spelling is still pretty hazy on most of them (which will make updating links a pain), and B) nobody here has played the game enough to have much to say about these guys. >_> I figure we can hold of making any Shingata model pages for a while, at the very least until we have some of their sprites ripped. ~ Kimbles 13:44, 18 June 2014 (MDT)
