Back in the early days we speculated on whether the Shadow Triad were Cilan, Chili and Cress. We speculated long, and hard. But then B2/W2 came out. And a little feature called memory link appeared, in which we discovered that the Shadow Triad were in fact NOT Cilan/Chili/Cress, because they put them explicitly in a scene with one another.

With this in mind, a few things come up: Was this for a reason? Was this done because GF thought it needed to be shown, or was it because it was put in post-BW, after seeing the reactions from the fans and just having it as a last minute thing??

A few other questions can be asked, too. Would've you preferred if they were Cilan/Chili/Cress? Why? Do you think revealing them took away all the mystery behind the Shadow Triad? Do you think they had a big enough role in both games? Do you think they should've got more attention? What do you think the real backstory behind the Shadow Triad is?

Please do share your thoughts! Do not let them be contained inside of your mind. Let them be free. And in this thread!

Most likely it is like what you said and GF just did it to shut the fans up.

And i really don't think they're suitable to be ninjas,"We're the Shadow Triad and we're here to cook you a fabulous dish."

Also i don't think they got so much attention in BW, they we're just sort of there just to escort people with that instant transmission thing they had.I really wish we could've battled them in BW.And their backstory is probably ninjas gone bad and all that jazz.But tbh their pokemon teams were just suck.A disgrace to ninjas everywhere u_u.

I think they got enough attention in B/W actually... (enough for Kaori to be afraid of them :3;)

They're meant to be in the shadows and not really stand out, but in B2W2 they seem to do just that, which is against their purpose. XD;
