I'm confused, what does version 2 have that version 1 does not? Or is it how say ruby, saphire, and crystal relate to each other?

As I understand it, it isn't a third version/remake in the vein of Blue, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, or Platinum. It's more of a direct sequel to the events in Black/White, so will presumably pick up where Black/White left off (what happened to Ghetsis, N being spotted in a faraway land, etc).

They still have to reveal the true identities of the Dark Trinity.

In their first appearance, they all were wearing identical black masks. In all later appearances, they are seen wearing different masks which resemble the elemental monkeys' facial patterns: the shading technique on each mask matches the techniques used on the monkeys and the bottom of the mask matches the shaping on the monkeys' faces.

-Bulbapedia, on the Shadow Triad in Pokemon Adventures

Also, notice that each of them owns one monster that is either Grass-type, Water-type, or Fire-type.

Even the manga likes the theory.

After all, they were the only Gym Leaders not present during the raid on Plasma-dan's castle.

...Considering the chapters featuring the Shadow Triad in their "later appearances" were all written after the games were released (when the theory first began to float about).

There're more aguments than just that one, which I still hold with plausibility, but this one in particular is neutralized by Bianca's explanation of why she never retrieved them to N's Castle and her historic clumsiness. An argument that could go back and forth on that one if people really wanted it to, is what I'm saying.
