Talk:Medarots in Shingata Medarot
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)
- Now that we have the sprites uploaded, I'm opening up to the idea of creating/linking pages for these guys, but ONLY the ones that have confirmed name origins (listed below). The others' names will probably change when we figure them out, and it would be stupid to add links to pages now just to have to correct them. I'm going to edit the list page to only include links to the confirmed names, so if it's not a link there, don't create the page or add links to it in navboxes. ~ Kimbles 10:51, 15 June 2015 (MDT)
Name origins
The names in this game seem to come from a mix of English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and possibly other languages. If you can figure any out that we haven't, please add them here!

- 2. Deabeil: From French: abeille (bee)
- 3. Rossonariz: Italian: rosso (red) + Spanish: nariz (nose)
- 4. Archaeopti: From Archaeopteryx (prehistoric bird)
- 5. Jatofase: Portuguese: jato (jet) + fase (phase/stage)?
- 6. Peroscar: Possibly a combination of the names "Pero" and "Oscar"
- 7. Alto Sonido: Spanish for "high sound"
- 8. Barrow: Another word for burial mound
- 9. Capo Pasqua: Italian: capo (head) + Pasqua (Easter)
- 12. Mauna Draga: Possibly Hawaiian: mauna (mountain) + dragon?
- 13. Bascurata: Spanish: báscula (scale) + rata (rat)
- 14. Duo Kaiser: "Double emperor", or a misspelling of "Dio Kaiser", Italian/German for "God Emperor"
- 15. Predicador: Spanish for preacher (as a reference to "praying mantis")
- 16. Raigno: Possibly from French: araignée (spider)

- 19. Valentorero: From valente (Italian for talented) + torero (bullfighter)
- 21. Mordewal: German: mörder (murderer) + wal (whale)

- 55. Phibios: From amphibian
- 59. Maireign: From mermaid + reign (as in rule)?
Duo Kaiser's name is spelled "Dio Kaiser" (ディオカイザー) on a magazine scan I have, so I'm pretty certain that's what its name was intended to be (it makes way more sense). It's 100% spelled "Duo" in the game though, so we should probably still use that for the page name regardless. ~ Kimbles 10:51, 15 June 2015 (MDT)
