Possible explanation for the new Pokémon remake

[Pythagorean]

Background:
Less than a week ago, the remakes of Sapphire and Ruby were announced, only showing us the game's cover art. On Sunday (Saturday for the United States), a relatively short video was released, showing us a cut-scene from the game including Kyogre and Groudon. After the video's release, many began to notice that the cover-art didn't stay true to the game's cut-scene!

Explanation/Theory:
Introduced in Pokemon X and Y, was the concept of mega-evolution, a new process that takes a pokemon's final evolution a step further. In all mega-evolutions, there are a couple of cosmetic changes, changing the colors or adding more details to the pokemon , but usually not resulting in the change of the overall shape. For example here we have Lucario and his mega form:

Now, in the cover-art of the new remakes, Alphaa Sapphire and Omega Ruby, Groudon and Kyogre appear to have minor cosmetic changes:

My Hypothesis/Theory is that the Kyogre and Groudon appearing on the cover-art are just mega-evolutions of their regular forms. My hypothesis is also supported by the fact that Gardevoir and Aggron also have mega-forms, which means that mega-evolution as a general concept might debut again in the new remakes.

TL;DR:
The Kyogre and Groudon that appear on the game's new cover-art might be mega forms, as a result of their cosmetic changes, and possibly because Pokemon X and Y's untimely introduction of mega-evolution, which probably wouldn't be shot down after just one game.

You over analyzed this, my 7 year old brother noticed it as soon as he saw the cover art. But I'm hyped nonetheless.

They'll have to do something about implementing new Megas because if they do, then they'd have to update X/Y so they can connect with R/S Remakes. Those could be forms you get after exposing Groudon/Kyogre to their respective Orbs.

I kinda think they just made R/S Remakes to add a Grass Type (Mega Sceptile) to rep Pokemon in the new Brawl.​

It's just when I saw the cut-scene and they weren't like the ones on the box, I thought of mega-evolutions!

Naw, it's confirmed that they aren't just aesthetic changes. They are definitely some sort of forme change.

Yeah pretty much. There was no need for all this.
