Y'know, these two and the Shadow Triad; What the heck is with them? Other than being ninjas, the Triad doesn't really have a role. You don't even get to fight them, which I was looking forward to. And these two are only there to give you a little backstory on N. They're only in one room, and have 1 line of dialogue each, and yet they get their own custom character sprites. Not even Morimoto got his own sprite! And he's Morimoto! Can someone enlighten me as to why I should care about these characters?
Anthea and Concordia were N's only human friends growing up, while being taught the 'seperate humans and pokemon' ways by Geechisu. Those two were his only true interaction with human beings other than the distant relationship N had with the Plasma Kingdom subjects, as well as his strained/worked relationship with Geechisu.
A shame they didnt have a larger roll in the story. Maybe they could have shown up to battle the Player Character to slow them down and allow N to escape or something. Or show up periodically to shine more light on N's character.
