They could have varied his Pokemon. Why have 2 Pawniards? Liepard, Krokorok/Krookodile, Scrafty, Zoroark, Tyranitar, Umbreon, Zweilous or Hydreigon are all viable choices.

Pokebeach posted all the sprites and there is only one Sprite for the Shadow Triad so I'm assuming they all use one image.

Though there were only 2 battle sprites for the Sages meaning that there are 4 missing.

Koga doesn't have a sprite in their grouping, but Marshall, Caitlin, Shautal, and Grimsley do. Hilbert and Hilda to as well.

If Hilda and Hilbert have sprites it might mean we get to battle them either that it's simply for wi-fi battles like in HgSs with Dawn and Lucas' sprites.

They'll probably re-use a lot of HG/SS sprites for the tournament. Annoyed at the sages ):

Yeah the sages appear to be a waste...again...(by the way who is the Purple sage at the opening? I don't think I've seen him.)

there are only 2 sprites because one sage is dressed like the new grunts and the other kept his old outfit...
i think the one in purple betrayed the old team plasma and the other one is still loyal... :)
and it could be that the other sages are fightable sometime in the game but well all with the same sprite... :P

So the Sages grew younger and died their hair red to match in with the rest of the grunts? Seriously they were old and some (at least one) was bald XD

You'd expect them to have their own sprites seeing as they were old characters.
 

Ho-Oh

used Sacred Fire!

No new sprites kinda sucks. I'd love to see them all as different, oh well lol. Proves they never mattered in the first place or another Unova game!

I agree with Xander and Requility the sages should've gotten their own sprites...perhaps these two are the most important after Ghetsis...feel bad for the other four...

I see two Sages with sprites, but that's it. I like them! All neat and junk!
I like all of the Hoenn Gym Leader sprites! They're so cool. c:

Their Pokémon are at Level 65.
Cilan: Maractus, Ferrothorn, Simisage

OAO

YES. This makes me excited. I was wondering why they had battle sprites, too! I wonder if this means Lenora will be able to battle, too, because she has a battle sprite, and so does Bianca! MAYBE WE CAN BATTLE BIANCA. <3

Lenora and the triplets are in the World Tournament as well I think XD

As for Bianca I know you team UP with her after Skyla's Gym....but I dunno.

But she had a full on VS type sprite. maybe she's in the tournament, too?
But Lenora in the tournament is awesome! D:

And I found Cedric Juniper! He upgrades you to the National Dex after the Pokemon League, like in Black and White.

Has N really changed all that much?

After you battle N's former dragon and capture it N shows displeasure with you keeping it in a Pokéball. Do you think he still has problems accepting Pokemon and trainers being together?

Yes he does. I wanna say that at the end of the first set he said he would look for another way to separate Pokemon and Humans that's why he left.
