Revealed: With the surprise reveal of the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire on May 7th, 2014, the first images of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre were also revealed. At the time we quite didn't know what these colourful new forms were but a month later on June 7th, 2014, a CoroCoro magazine leak confirmed that they were indeed of new evolutions (known as "Primal Reversion" forms) for the two Hoenn legendaries.

Additional Info: From Pokémon.com: "The powerful Pokémon Kyogre obtains even greater power upon Primal Reversion. The energy that fills its body spills forth as seawater. Its body composition becomes nearly a match for seawater, and its blue skin glows like a sapphire. With Primal Reversion, Primal Kyogre's powerful Sp. Atk will grow even greater! Plus, look forward to more details about Primal Kyogre's Ability, a power hidden within this awesome Pokémon."

It's also stated that "its body is half-translucent, and a golden light glows from within it. It is more mysterious and magnificent than ever!"

Alpha Sapphire: Held by Kyogre.

While I'm planning to play Omega Ruby first out of tradition (I originally played Ruby first so it's only proper~) I really like how they've designed Primal Kyogre. The design updates to Kyogre are more pronounced than Groudon's and they're really quite pretty. It looks excellent both in the artwork and the game screenshots. The size comparison image between standard Kyogre and Primal Kyogre is quite nifty, too (it's so big!).

I'm very intrigued to see how the Primal Reversion forms will alter the original Ruby and Sapphire plot-line. Can't wait to learn more about them in general really.

 

I was right there with ya yesterday. I foresee myself continuing to call Primal Pokemon "Ulta-Special-Awesome" forms in the future... although nobody else but us who saw the April Fools prank will understand what I'm referring to. XD
