Mercury and Emerald did not appear in the Volume 1 Opening except as silhouettes. That would be like saying the first three known high-ranking members of White Fang were introduced during Black and White. We don't know their names, haven't seen their faces, heard their voices, or have any other information about them. Sun's Team, Velvet's Team, and Penny's Associates are not silhouettes. Sure, we don't know anything else about them. But a color depiction is a real introduction. A silhouette can never be said to be the same as it could easily be anybody with a similar outline.
