Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

Launching November 21, 2014

Primal Reversion Transforms Popular Legendary Pokémon

into Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre

BELLEVUE, WA—June 10, 2014—The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced today that the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games will launch in North America on Friday, November 21, 2014, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Pokémon fans will collect, battle, and trade Pokémon as they travel throughout the rich natural beauty of the Hoenn region.

Also confirmed today is that the Pokémon featured on the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire game packages are in fact Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, a newly revealed transformation of the Legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre. These two extremely powerful Pokémon clashed in an epic battle that once sent Groudon into a long slumber within the magma beneath the planet’s crust and drove Kyogre into a deep sleep at the bottom of the ocean floor. The awesome transformation is a result of Primal Reversion, when Groudon and Kyogre reclaim their original power from nature’s energy and obtain even greater power than they already have. The power within Primal Reversion is still being discovered, as well as what connection may lie between Primal Reversion and Mega Evolution.

More details about Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre:

· Primal Groudon is brimming with energy, which pours from its body as magma. The magma burns at such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering ruby red from the haze of its heat, giving off light in the darkness. Through Primal Reversion, Primal Groudon becomes much larger and adds Fire type to its Ground type, raising the power of Fire-type moves it can learn. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Groudon’s Attack. Its Ability may get a boost during this epic transformation, too.

· Primal Kyogre, a Water-type Pokémon, is awash with energy that spills from its body as seawater. Its blue skin shines like a sapphire and is half-translucent like the sea. Primal Reversion greatly boosts Primal Kyogre’s Special Attack. Its Ability also seems to get a boost, although this information cannot yet be confirmed. Primal Kyogre is massive, growing to be more than twice Kyogre’s size.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire will explore the mystery of Mega Evolution even further, a powerful Evolution that only occurs to some Pokémon during battle. For Mega Evolution to take place, Trainers need a Key Stone to resonate with a Mega Stone held by a Pokémon during battle. Twenty-eight Mega Stones have been identified since they were introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, but it is said there are still more Mega Stones to be discovered in the Hoenn region.

Eternal rain/sun may be back

Maybe a new area? Possibly related to the ancient devolution?

The official localized names are apparently Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon as well as Primal Reversion (cannon Primal Dialga soon?)

By gaining fire type, Groudon can now take full advantage of Drought... except it gets like no physical fire attacks. There's Fire Punch, but that's only available from previous gen tutor. So maybe they will give it Heat Crash. (Groudon is like one of the heaviest Pokemon)

Maxie and Archie have Mega Stones

Mega Sharpedo + Mega Camerupt confirmed? Nah. They probably both have Mega Mightyena.

From the screenshots we saw of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, they may have gained new signature move.

...Why do I see Red in the background of that picture? >_> Is this MORE Kanto-glorifying?

The new Hoenn map looks interesting though. Looks like more areas in the watery half. Hopefully this means traveling them will be less of a hassle. But I need a bit more to be fully convinced to buy this.

You mean generic Fisherman? The guy right by the metal structure and crane?

wonder what the black shadowy thing in the upper part of the map is

shadow lugia confirmed

Also I don't like the new map as much as the old one, the region looks too artificial.
