The press release and official websites for the video games also announced that the new forms of Groudon and Kyogre featured on the games' box art were their Primal (ゲンシ, Genshi) forms, accessed through a method known as "Primal Reversion" (ゲンシカイキ, Genshi Kaiki), which in the games' stories may be related to Mega Evolution. Following E3, promotional videos went up for the other new Mega Evolutions of Mega Sableye and Mega Diancie.
