We aren't trying to say that they are based on them, as Dennou Zenshi pointed out on PsychicRider's talk. We are not trying to say they are related. And we certainly are not trying to say that they are the Striaton Gym Leaders. Those would be opinions. All we want to say is that the patterns are identical. I don't thin... |
Of course, IMO, they do have one thing in common with the monkeys that people seem to be ignoring. There are three monkeys and there's three of them. So... it's not that strange to think that they may have been based on them. But again, my opinion and it shouldn't be incorporated in the article. --ケンジガール 21:11, 21 June... |
Why can't I mention that their appearence has changed? I'm sure changes like that are supposed to be notable (Aloe, Rosie, Girafarig, Charmander etc.) and it's not really so minor change after all.--Den Zen 04:13, 20 July 2011 (UTC) |
I don't want to sound like if I'm forcing the theory but I believe that if the page was coloured they would be Blue, Red and Green respectively because the artist used the same type of Screentone than in the monkeys. LurKasumi 06:51, 20 July 2011 (UTC) |
I think the style of the masks changing is something quite important which should be noted. The masks were originally plain and now they vary in shape. They now resemble the face patterns on the elemental monkeys. It is the same shape—that is not an opinion. That is all that needs to be noted, that the shape is the sam... |
^ I 105% agree, and that's exactly what I've been telling CP & others. It's much more notable than things like "Riley has a Groudon-patterned necklace" or "Lapras had small teeth in Gen I". In fact, the Triad's case is a combination of two notable facts: their appearence has changed and their clothing resembles Pokémon... |
So, is there anyone who's still opposing to add it as trivia despite of above reasons? And if there is, why?--Den Zen 13:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC) |
Take The Player to N or Ghestis? |
Im not sure how to word this so I'm just gonna say it. They never really "take" or "bring" anyone anywhere. Every single time they show up, they do the same thing: Push you in the direction you were already going. I think this is an important distinction between what they do and what the page says they do. |
But as I said above, I have no idea how to word this in any way that doesnt make it sound incredibly silly. But it is what happens! PowerPlantRaichu 00:36, 10 November 2011 (UTC) |
I don't think it is a push, but an escort. You're surrounded by ninjas, so you go where they want you to go. --SnorlaxMonster 12:33, 10 November 2011 (UTC) |
Has anything ever been said in canon regarding the genders of these three? Because a lot of people seem to be confused, including me. Yamiidenryuu 04:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC) |
Fairly certain they're male. Their designs in the manga seem very masculine. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 04:24, 19 February 2012 (UTC) |
Alright, but is there anything in the games themselves confirming that? I think N referred to them as "men" at some point, but that might just have been the translation. Yamiidenryuu 16:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC) |
These are two times N talks about the Shadow Triad: |
No gender is mentioned. Of course, he uses "they", so if you checked it in a translation to a gendered language (e.g. French), you would probably find that he refers to them as "ils" (French), meaning that at least one of them is male. This is of course a translation though, so doesn't really have a bearing on canon. -... |
Alright, thanks. I guess what I heard about him calling them "men" was just other people misremembering things (or from a fan translation). Yamiidenryuu 15:02, 20 February 2012 (UTC) |
From the looks of it in the B/W2 anime-style trailer, they appear to all be male. Schiffy 19:18, 17 May 2012 (UTC) |
Theory not in Article |
I've noticed that the Triad Theory isn't in the article so I decided I was going to add. I made two edits and both were deleted. Any reason why? Ace trainer R 07:23, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
Because it is speculation. There is no solid proof that they're the Striaton trio.--ForceFire 07:26, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
Because it's just a theory, and not a fact. And believe me, as much as I'd like it to be true, there's not enough solid evidence to support it. So it's still just fan speculation. Jo the Marten ಠ_ಠ 07:28, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
I see what you mean and that's true. But both edits stated that it was just an idea. Wouldn't it be alright if it said that it was just fan speculation so it wouldn't confuse readers? Ace trainer R 08:41, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
No. Fan speculation doesn't belong anywhere outside of the forums. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:45, 10 June 2012 (UTC) |
Plus this theroy is proven false, after a memory link event when the shadow triad defeated the triplet, proving that they are seperate people --Dragon146 (talk) 17:57, 1 February 2013 (UTC) |
I am sure the first one has different payout in Plasma Frigate. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 14:27, 21 September 2012 (UTC) |
This payout is sooo very wrong. |
I am VERY sure that the first one on Plasma Frigate has irregular payout. He payed out only 5000 or so (like here)*. The other two have payout of 9180* with Pokémon at Normal Mode level, which is oddly put as CM payout, but that's false... who the hell did these templates? 8640 isn't even divisible by 51, as it gives 1... |
tl;dr = Most of the payouts are wrooong and they must be rechecked and changed. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 15:14, 30 October 2012 (UTC) |
Yeah, I should have checked more carefully. Messed up because someone put different numbers at the Plasma Frigate. Sorry! I'll recheck it later, unless someone else manages to do it before me. Torpoleon (talk) 16:49, 30 October 2012 (UTC) |
And nothing done. Meh. Marked +-+-+ (talk) 17:19, 14 November 2012 (UTC) |
Physical force |
Should it be noted that the Shadow Triad are the only characters in the game besides Silver to use physical force on the player? On more than a few occasions, they are seen to actually drag the player to a different destination. The even physically kicked the player off of the Plasma Frigate. Just think its something n... |

Ironing Clothes in the 1950's |
Another Trip Down Memory Lane... All In The Family... |
I was born in 1951 and I have never lived without electricity, though in my very early childhood, our electricity was produced by a wind charger. The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) lines hadn't yet been brought out south of Johnstown, Nebraska. |
I never saw a sad iron in use, but there were a couple of old sad irons in our attic at Rose, Nebraska, where we moved when I was six. I suppose some housewife stored them there when she got electricity and an electric iron. |
ironI do remember life before clothing care was revolutionized by steam irons, polyester blends and clothes dryers. In the mid-1950's (as early as I can remember), "wash and wear" garments made of a cotton-acrylic blend had just recently been introduced. Many garments were still 100% cotton and they required ironing, e... |
A few devices had been invented to help with the wrinkle problem. My mother had stretchers that were large adjustable wire rectangles. She slipped a stretcher into each leg of wet pants so they would dry with less wrinkles. |
sprinkler topWhen it was time to iron, the clothes had to be sprinkled. My mother had a metal stopper with holes in it like a salt shaker top. She filled a soda bottle with water, put the stopper on top, and sprinkled water over the clothes that needed ironing. Then she rolled each garment so the dampness would diffuse... |
I guess spray bottles hadn't been invented yet. Sprinkle bottles were used by all the housewives. You could buy the sprinkle tops for soda bottles at any dime store. They had a cork base to fit the soda bottle's opening tightly. If you were a fancier person, you could buy a ceramic sprinkle bottle with a whimsical shap... |
I don't remember my mother ever keeping the sprinkled clothing in the refrigerator, but I've heard that housewives did that. The coolness delayed the mildew and sour odors that could develop if clothing wasn't ironed the same day that it was sprinkled. |
I think I might have been six or seven years old when Mama taught me to iron the handkerchiefs and pillow cases. Keeping up with the ironing was a huge chore and it helped a bit to have me do those few things. She was a better woman than I am. I am not sure I would have bothered with ironing my husband's everyday handk... |

Oh i remember having to iron hankerchiefs, pillow cases and even the bed sheets ugh that could be why i hate ironing so much now. I don't iron anything unless it absolutely needs it, like hubby having to dress up for work. |
Genevieve said... |
I only iron things right before I wear them. I hardly ever iron anything in advance. And like you, Mom, I'm real happy if I don't have to iron it at all. |
Larry Ayers said... |
I remember my mother using a sprinkle-bottle during the late fifties. A cork-lined insert in a Cliquot Club soda bottle, I think. |

My mom used a sprinkle-bottle in the 1960s while I was growing up. |
Tayfusion said... |
Why did clothes have to e sprinkled with water before ironing? Did it producemore steam or something that way? Thanks. |
Genevieve said... |
Hi, Tayfusion. The clothes we're talking about sprinkling were made of 100% cotton or perhaps 100% linen (less common). Both of these fabrics tend to wrinkle when laundered. |
Steam irons hadn't been invented yet, and apparently spray bottles hadn't been invented either. |
Such garments were sprinkled with water and rolled up, in preparation for ironing. The dampness was absorbed evenly throughout the garment while it was rolled. |
When the slightly damp fabric was pressed with a hot iron, the wrinkles came out. The same effect would be produced today by using a spray bottle of water and/or a steam iron. |
Tayfusion said... |
Thank you so much for the prompt and informative reply. I really appreciate it. I was watching an old movie that I've seen a hundred times and there is a scene where a woman was sprinkling a substance (thanks to you, I know it was water now) and rolling the clothes before she ironed them, and I always wondered what she... |

This brought back so many happy memories of when I was a little girl, ironing beside my mom -- thank you so much for posting this! |
istanbulred said... |
I just got a copy of my grandmother's diary from 1950 with so many references to "sprinkling the clothes." Googled this and found your blog. Thank you for the explanation! I thought perhaps it was some form of dry cleaning but now it makes sense. And I'm thanking God for wash & wear, wrinkle-free clothes! |

This reminded me of my grandmother's ironing board in the basement, which always had a coke bottle with a stopper on it. I think I still have one that belonged to my mother -- think I'll bring it out for my sewing room. |
Maureen said... |
I found this "Googling" for why people put clothes in the refrigerator in the 60s. My mother did not but neighbors or relatives must have. We must have had a very early steam iron when I learned to iron in the mid 60s. I remember sprinkle bottles but not in our home. I'd forgot about the metal things for pants. My moth... |

Chinese VP calls for security cooperation |
Updated: 2013-06-28 00:53 |
( Xinhua) |
BEIJING - Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao on Thursday addressed the World Peace Forum 2013 in Beijing with a call for all nations to strengthen cooperation on security challenges and achieve the long-lasting peace and common prosperity of the world. |
The forum is the first high-level non-governmental seminar focusing on security topics that China has hosted. This year's theme is "International Security in a Changing World: Peace, Development, Innovation." Nearly 500 experts and scholars from over 80 countries and foreign diplomats in China attended the opening cere... |
"Peace is the primary need of people all over the world, including Chinese people," Li said at the forum's opening ceremony. |
He pointed that development can not be achieved without a peaceful environment, and therefore, all countries in the world should live in peace, resolve disputes and conflicts through peaceful means and make concerted efforts to safeguard regional and world peace. |
He voiced the hope that all countries will pursue the path of peaceful development and make joint efforts to create a bright future for the peaceful development of all peoples. |
Noting that security problems are a major challenge standing in the way of world peace, he said that all countries should set up the new security concept of increasing security through development and mutually beneficial cooperation and resolve differences through peaceful dialogues. |
Prior to the forum's opening ceremony, Li met with Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma, Surinamese President Desi Bouterse and the former high-ranking officials of several other countries. |

Collecting the information necessary to prepare a patent application covering a computer related invention can be quite challenging. Typically, most computer related inventions today relate at least in some way to software, which is at the core of the challenge. This software challenge stems from the fact that the soft... |
A patent does not need to be a blueprint, but it needs to direct. For example, you do not need to provide the code for the scripts, although that is certainly one way to make sure it is described adequately, and perhaps something you may want to consider if you have a working prototype that you want to protect (more on... |
Generally speaking, the goal is to provide enough description so that someone who is “skilled in the art,” which is a legal term that refers to those who would be expected to possess the knowledge and understanding appropriate to comprehend the invention, can make and use the invention after reading the patent applicat... |
