They are definitely megas or alternate forms.

Hypermug Wrote:It's certainly possible, but they honestly just look like they're powering up. Aside from the highlighted colours and better artwork, there isn't anything else remarkable.

Razmos Wrote:There are quite a few big differences though.

Groudon: The spikes are bigger and a different colour, there are markings on its torso, the symbol on its arms are completely different, the pattern on the tail is completely different.
Kyogre: Different colours all over, the red is almost completely gone and replaced by blue, the big white blob above its eye is translucent and now has a line extending from it, the 4 wavy fins at the back now have a line on each, there is an entire pattern on its head that wasn't there before.

The changes are too big for just a power up. and both pokemon have been shown powering up in the games and anime before, and they never took on changes like they do here.

A lot of people are saying that there is not enough big changes for it to be a mega, but Kyogre and Groudon were already very detailed as they were. What do people expect? wings? an extra tail? What more could they add to these pokemon?

Hypermug Wrote:I don't think those are lines on kyogre's tail, just the background showing between the sections.

But anyway, I agree with Malthe. If these are the megas, then that's fine. They just don't feel impressive to me. I admit that I never liked the originals much so whatever happens to them doesn't affect me.

I don't think they feel like mega's either, but I couldn't have imagined what a mega form of these pokemon would have looked like anyway.

They are either megas or alternate forms.. and with the brand new hype machine that is mega evolution, it seems strange they would forgo it for another form.
