:::::However, "making the table a square" is nowhere near as important to the article as making sure the information we present is as unambiguous as we can manage.  I'd propose as a compromise we place some manner of "loop-back arrow" image in its place, but that has similar problems.  In the absence of additional information, it can be inferred one of two things: that this is a property unique to Pikachu's column (it isn't), or that every column follows the "column completion loop" (e.g., Donkey Kong -> Link) instead of starting back at the beginning after everyone in their column is unlocked (they don't).  The next solution that would follow is putting an extra row such that the table is presented in the same way as the excerpt from the Player's Guide that you linked to, but 1, this falls into the same issue of redundancy ZeldaStarfoxfan mentioned, and 2, this was already attempted on a previous iteration of this article, and in my personal opinion, it looks far worse than just having an empty space in the corner.

My opinion is that a character shouldn't appear in the table twice if it can be avoided. I've tried a new idea on the page: fill in the cell with an empty image that displays "Pikachu's column is shorter than other characters'." when the cursor is rolled over.
