Nintendo’s Digital E3 was broadcast earlier today and with it the company has shared a handful of details relating to new Pokémon games. Below you can find our coverage of the news, expect more throughout the day with in depth coverage just around the corner!
Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
And full trailer has been shown for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, showing Hoenn completely remade with 3D environments. Launching worldwide on November 21 in the US and November 28 in Europe!
In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Kyogre and Groudon are able undergo a process known as Primal Reversion. This allows the two Pokémon to revert into Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon, and allows them to draw back power from nature and gain an even larger power boost. When undergoing Primal Reversion, Kyogre receives a boost to its Special Attack stat whilst Groudon become Ground/Fire type and gains a boosted Attack stat. Both Pokémon also seem to gain a boost to their abilities, although it’s not possible to confirm this yet.
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will bring players even closer to discovering the secrets behind Mega Evolution, with players seeking out Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving and unlocking their incredible potential. More Mega Stones are said to be hidden across the Hoenn region. It also appears that there may be a link between Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion.
Below are a selection of screenshots and artwork showing the updated Hoenn region and the two legendary Pokémon undergoing Primal Reversion.

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.

Bill Trinen – Master Translator!
I wish I was a master translator. I can barely regurgitate basic pronunciations and sentences.
Oh, and Chico, I know you doubted the Fire typing, but here it is.
That means you can punch him!
Star fox confirmed!
Dat translator… He’s good…
Or he is completely winging it and just there
He’s actually insulting all the viewers and the translator is making crap up as he goes 😮
He is telling us he is being held hostage
If Primal Dialga/Palkia get introduced in the games I bet it would flash a huge diamond & a huge pearl before they regress into their ancient-state XD
http://oi58.tinypic.com/2nm17w1.jpg
Why is Groudon Pink…
Ruby
Probably color tint/camera-glare. I’m sure its probably a bit darker
Cause it’s fabulous!
Primal Dialga is already a thing.
Isn’t that on Mystery dungeon?
Mystery Dungeon should be counted as canon too ya know…
I know that. I was referring to it being introduced in the main game not the spin offs.
Heavy here, hasn’t played Mystery dungeon >.>
SINNOH CONFIRMED!
Sorry not sorry had to do it!
Beat me to it. >:/
😀
Yes please!
Lol miyamoto said Lolicon

Power Rangers Megazords: The Game

If this guy gets a Primal stage it can flash the red jewel on its body during the animation!
http://img.pokemondb.net/artwork/relicanth.jpg
Or Mega.
That’s a jewel? o.o
i thought it was just a fake eye… (for distraction purposes)
ME TOO
The eye is the line across it’s face.
“fake eye”
emphasis on fake
Oh! lol
LOOL the eye is the slit on its face. The red spot is a jewel
I always thought the jewel was the eye
It has brock eyes XD
No the line is lol.
I doubt it will have an Ancient Regression because the dex entry said it hasn’t changed for millions of years.
“it has not changed in over 100 million years”.. it could’ve been in its current stage for that long, we don’t know if it had a form before that one. It’s dex says Scientists only just recently discovered it anyway.
Besides, its based on the Coelacanth, the mother of land mammals. What if a Primal form gave it arms to push itself on land with?
i just finished watching the nintendo event lol THAT END THOUGH WAS IS BEHIND THAT BLURRED SCREEN
Dark Pit 4 Smash!
Pit already has a color change for Dark Pit 😛
I know lol, but Palutena talks to him, plus DP wouldn’t be that different.
Lol that guy is a noob at Giant Robots
LOL no one is clapping at the Giant Robot game!
Its cos the guy just failed two missions in a row
The guy is bad.
I remember back when Forme Changes were a thing.
Not anymore.
Oh and Pepperidge Farms remembers.
