Either way, it's never been confirmed to be more than speculation. Even after the sequel games confirmed that they're not the same characters, concept art depicting the Shadow Triad's original BW2 designs (including one having Peek-a-Bangs similar to Cress') has led to this idea being circulated amongst the fandom. This stems from a theory that originated from the triplets being absent during the climax of Black & White and was egged on by the Adventures manga (which later revealed the similarities to be a Red Herring).

There is an urban legend that the Shadow Triad were originally meant to be revealed as the Striaton Trio in Black 2 & White 2 but this was changed in development.A 2005 April Fool's prank started a rumor of a remake of Hey You, Pikachu! for the Nintendo DS that introduced a new Pokémon called "Korechu".The remakes of Pokémon Gold and Silver have an extremely-persistent-even-after-debunked rumor that Youngster Joey's "top-percentage" Rattata is in fact coded to have perfect Internal Values.In addition to the content being absurd to add for a game marketed to children, extensive datamining has shown nothing relating to the fight, its similarly "unused" WHITEHAND cohorts, or anything related to a Game Over screen at all, let alone the one from the tale. If you were to lose said battle, rather than Blacking out and going to the nearest Pokemon Center, it would instead give you a "Game Over" screen where said BURIEDALIVE would eat the Player Character's brains. There were rumors for a while of an unused trainer fight in Lavender tower known as "BURIEDALIVE" that you could "access" by talking to a gravestone, which send out "White Hand"s (a reference to a line from an NPC in Lavender town talking about a "white hand" that they may or may not be imagining).Another version of this legend takes it further, claiming that once you lose the Hopeless Boss Fight, the GameBoy will abruptly shut off and will never turn on again.

While Black was eventually given a full defictionalization courtesy of a dedicated fan, the initial story was. If you reset the game, your save file will be erased. When your HP hits zero, it curses you the screen turns black and will not change. When you beat the Elite Four, you get a Flash Forward to yourself as an old man, where you see a vision of every mon and trainer you cursed, and your ghost turns on you and subjects you to a Hopeless Boss Fight. When he has no Pokémon left, you can now curse him directly doing so causes him to disappear forever (or turn into an Instant Gravestone).

If you fight a trainer, each curse causes the ball containing your opponent's mon to disappear from his roster. It gives you a "ghost" Pokémon that you can never switch out of your party, which no opponents can attack, and whose only move, "Curse", is almost always a One-Hit KO.

It's very commonly claimed that Satoru Iwata saved the development of Pokémon Gold and Silver by writing a new compression algorithm that was so efficient it allowed the developers to include the Kanto map from the previous game as a bonus.
