Can any Kyogre/Groudon from any generation go through Primal Reversion?

Question

If I brought Groudon from my SoulSilver, can it evolve or does it have to be the one from Omega Ruby?

Answer 1

Yep.

In order for Groudon/Kyogre to revert to their Primal Formes they need to hold the Red or Blue Orb, respectively. The Orbs are basically Mega Stones, in that a Pokémon merely needs to hold it in order to transform. In order to Mega Evolve Tyranitar or Altaria, they do not need to be from Gen VI. Likewise, Primal Groudon/Kyogre can also be from any Gen. (The same goes for Mega Rayquaza. It only needs to know Dragon Ascent.)

Sorry, bud. I had no such intentions. Sincere apologies if you felt that way. Sometimes we see trolls on the internet, this site being no exception. I had no intentions of trifling your honest queries, nor of calling you a troll. Further, the ambiguous nature  of your question confused me a little. In fact, to be very honest, I still don't see the problem with his answer, nor did the person who asked the question. He meant that a Rayquaza from gen 3 (R/S/E) or 4 (HG/SS), once transferred, could learn Dragon Ascent, because it was coded for it to be able to. The possibility of learning aries in gen 6, and not in the previous generations. This feature has made sure that previous versions of the game are not as obsolete as they can be, and that your previous efforts don't go in vain. Also, sentimental value from the old games is preserved.

I'm not sure why I typed all that, but here's a quick tl;dr: Sorry, wasn't looking to create drama.

As for the Canadian stereotype thing, Astro was responding to me. Sometimes we're allowed to do this in the comments, as long as it's a recent comment, not months or years old. I was politely teasing him, and like a good internet friend (or acquaintance, as far as net familiarity goes) Astro was confirming he was indeed, quite the Canadian. We really didn't mean to intrude on your query, to be honest. Think of it as me waving him hello on the street while chatting with you on the phone, if you want.

Friends? Yeah, I guess. Are we, Astro?

I'll bite: what's your stereotype?

We're pals :D

For the sake of everyone not involved in the conversation, I'll reply on your wall. That okay? Otherwise, there's a good chance Pokemaster will come out and throw expired tomato cans at us. All his hits are crits too :(
