I waited the battle against the Shadow Triad, that would have been great.
And on the theory of the leaders of Striaton City, I am quite sure that they are the Shadow Triad, none of the first gym leader from the previous games has been, let us say, rare as these three characters. That makes me suspicious ... |

MY opinion
1. I think there awsome.
2. I think that the Striaton City gym leader theory is legit because the First time you reall battle team plasma (excluding your battle with N) is in Striaton City. 1. I think there awsome. 2.

I liked them. They were unimportant, and their missions were very trivial, but, it was nice to be genuinely surprised and a tad bit startled when they appeared out of the blue and quickly pushed you to a desired location.
Great minions, but, sadly put in a role which they could've easily been replaced by normal, generic grunts. I'd like to see more development in a future installment. Maybe the sister game to Black and White will add some well-deserved juice to their stories and roles? Only Nintendo knows. The Cilan, Cress, and Chili theory seems a bit farfetched and arbitrarily made. "DUDE, THERE'S, LIKE, THREE OF THEM, AND LIKE; THERE'S THREE OF THE OTHER GUYS. MUST BE THE SAME PEOPLE! OH MY WOOOORRRRDDDD!" But it must make great fan-fiction material. |

Cress, Cilan + Chili = Shadow Triad. :3 Do you like the shadow triad? Would've you preferred if they had some sort of storyline themselves? Or do you find them creepy? :( I like them but their clothes and designs are so creepy. ;< -shivers- |
1. I really did like the Shadow Triad. It is indeed creepy-- which is why I like it so much! Gah whenever they popped up, I'd just be like "WTF?". I would have indeed preferred somewhat- even the tiniest- of a storyline for them, or any kind of background nformation.
2. I really like that theory because of what happened at the end of the game. Cilan and Cress and Chili really gave off this bad vibe for me. I didn't like how we barely engaged in anything with either one of them. But it's just a weird hunch. I honestly don't know. I really like the Shadow Triad. I actually wanted to be one of them D; |
they seemed like absolute story-fillers to me.
I never thought of relating them to those 3 gym leaders, they are just not related in any way! except the number =o |
Well at least they are much better then team Rocket in previous generations :P
|
I like them the entire time i wanted a backstory but the their is NO WAY its cilian, ect just no way..... is there?
|
the first three Gym Leaders weren't included because there are only six sages that were there at the time
so seven Gym Leaders would be MORE then enough if you go to the Striaton Gym post game, they'll also be nervous because they didn't think they were strong enough to begin with so...they would've been in the way |

I think it would be a awesome twist if they were the three gym leaders...it would certainly surprise the trio's fan girls :P |
Dude i thought of something, Cilan, Chili, and Cress where to only gym leaders you never see fight team plasma while every other one had some issue with them, and there the gym leaders that didn't fight the 7 sages and if you talk to Cilan after beating the game he says "In the unova region, um, we are still novice gym leaders." Notice the um he is hesitant. oh man im good :3

lol, at the Shadow Triad = Striation Gym Leader theory
http://www.pokecharms.com/games/images/3/32/DarkTrinity.png The Shadow Triad is just creepy. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but they're practically creepers - jumping out at you at random times. ): Though I do agree with Clyde by their roles being story fillers. The triad are like helpers for Ghetsis; other than that, I don't see them as anything else...like gym leaders. :B |

*Uhh...... Cilan was hesitant every time you talked to him, even when you challenged the gym. (Yet he is not hesitant at all in the anime =/) It's just Cilan, not him worrying about how you might find out that him and his brothers are epic ninjas that appear all over the world while still being in their city at the same time :P' ...I suddenly have a horrible feeling that the theory is true... and I don't know why =/ |
Well...I have an alternate theory...the shadow triad are Mars, Jupiter and Cyrus! (Cyrus reduced to a shadow of his former self).
We all know Black / White are set chronologically after the events of Platinum. In Platinum, Cyrus disappeared into the Distortion World. Then, at Stark Mountain, Jupiter and Mars both say they're going to the Distortion World. What if something happened to them in there? I'm pretty sure that Ghetsis is alleged to have saved the Shadow Triad's lives...it would also fit with how they ended up with the three orbs, if they're from Sinnoh. I know this is going out on a limb, and would really struggle to fit into Pokémon Adventures (Which follows an incredible amount of the games' canon, yet hasn't had them disappear yet). But still, possible, right? |
First; yes, I liked the Shadow Triad. I think. Ninjas randomly appearing out of nowhere as anonymous henchmen of an evil maniac. Sure, the idea is appealing, although yes, a background story for them would be pretty cool.
And wow. I never, ever even as much as thought about the idea of the Shadow Triad being the Striaton Gym Leaders. But I see the appeal, and my imagination is probably already convinced, hahah. But yeah - them not showing up at the final battle and whatnot. Someone pointed out that the theory is unlikely because they - unlike the other gym leaders - don't interact with you at all throughout the game, except when you kick their asses. This, however, I find to be a good reason why the theory might be legit. They don't have time to interact with and help some silly kid, when they're busy doing stuff for Ghetsis! Especially not when the silly kid in question is not exactly working to accomplish the same goals as Ghetsis. I dunno. It still seems unlikely... Or, well, if you want to believe it, it does sound very likely. And I do want to believe it, it'd be friggen' awesome. |
1. Do you like the shadow triad? Would've you preferred if they had some sort of storyline themselves? Or do you find them creepy? :(
I love them soo much. Its a great idea that the evil guy has a super elite team of supernaturals working for him. And i would love some backstory. I think there will be some in the third game (if it's ever made :( ) 2. How do you feel about the shadow triad = cilan, cress and chili theory? Do you think it's likely - if so, do you have reasoning to back that up or are you one of those who thinks it's a stupid and unlikely theory? Uhhmm,k that seems interesting. I think its possible. I mean think about it. This is the first time there is a gym with three gym leaders, and it corresponds with there being an evil triad ? It sounds very possible !! |
lol at what i just thought of.
Shadow Triad could be Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Cyrus is unheard of after Distortion World, maybe those three felt the need to be led by someone else and they chose Ghetsis. Also, time gap from DP to BW (4 years). Plenty of time to join and get to the level the Shadow Triad is. |
The members of the shadow triad do not follow the speech styles of Chili, Cress, and Cilan; they speak more toned-down, awkwardly, and confidently.
I do not believe that they are the same. I recorded the text of the shadow triad at Marvelous Bridge. If any of you are interested in having it, message me. I'll get back to you... eventually. Quote:

Well at first, I thought that they were annoying and creepy but after a while I started liking them. It's cool that they do not have a storyline I guess 2. How do you feel about the shadow triad = cilan, cress and chili theory? Do you think it's likely - if so, do you have reasoning to back that up or are you one of those who thinks it's a stupid and unlikely theory? Well I think that it would be pretty cool if Cilan, Cress and Chili were the shadow traid :t354:TG |

I was waiting for a Triple Battle or a Rotation Battle with the Shadow Triad... obviously it never came.
Also, [SPOILER ALERT] in N's Castle, when the Gym Leaders come, did anyone else notice that Cilan, Chili, and Cress were not there? |
I believe that the Shadow Triad could be the Striaton Gym leaders based on what is written in the manga. In the manga, the Triad are not referred to by name, but by the masks they wear. The masks they wear are named after the elemental monkeys, which just so happen to be the main pokemon of the Striaton Gym leaders. I highly doubt this is a coincidence.
