Hmm I was wondering, we'd better standardize what to use to refer to the player in the articles. I'm not sure what we should stick to, but I'd vote for referring to him using "Shigeki", like the article's telling some story haha.

What do you think? Use "the player" or "Shigeki" or "you"?

Another alternative is "one".
I think, for articles that talk about plot (like the 'chain of events' section of place articles), we should use Shigeki (e.g. "In Iris, Shigeki meets a Liriope...", while on the pages that work more like tutorials, we should use the player, or one (e.g. "To evolve Cryptoride into Cryptoarm, the player has to use R-Gun" or "One can use P-Card to quickly gain experience").

I think "the player" sounds best most of the time, but you can also eliminate the personal aspect by saying "Cryptoride can evolve to Cryptoarm by mod-evolving with an R-Gun" or "P-cards can be used to gain experience quickly", where it doesn't sound totally awkward... *nod*

Use "the player" for any action involving control from the player. Use "Shigeki" for everything else.
