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

Uh... perhaps GF didn't feel like making a huge fiasco at not only the third gym, but with three gym leaders at once. Plus, the only grunts you see near Striaton are in the Dreamyard, they just appear, and as soon as Musharna enters they run for their lives.

*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.

Oh and Spherical Ice's theory sounds good, but why would they side with Ghestis?

Because Ghetsis is a genius. An evil genius, but a genius -- his power with words is brilliant, bringing to mind a few historical figures. Ghetsis radiates intelligence, which would attract some people. I would be vulnerable to his power.

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

Just going to point this out, the masks seen on the triad in this image match the facial patterns of the monkeys. Now it may be indication that in the manga Cilan, Cress, and Chili are the Shadow Triad but I don't think it can be used as evidence pointing to them actually being the Triad, though I hope so. I believe the theory that they are the Triad.
 
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.

Feel free to make a new thread on this, because reviving threads that haven't been posted in for over a month is bad. :3
