The mascots of Ruby/Sapphire and their re-makes, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, are Groudon, the titan of the land, and Kyogre, the titan of the sea. They also got new Primal forms, letting them show off their full power.

Which one do you like better, and why?

Oh, this is a close one, but I'll have to say Kyogre. I really like both of them, but because of the fact that I own Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire, and Kyogre was once a member of my Ubers team on Black 2, Kyogre gets the nod. I can't choose design-wise, and they are very equal.

Now, I like Kyogre, because its design is just awesome (A legendary orca whale that created the seas? Sign me up!), but I'm afraid Rayquaza gets my take-a-third-option vote here. He's just so majestic and powerful, especially his shiny form.

Personally, I prefer Groudon.
Call me sensitive, but in my original playthrough of Emerald, when I saw the outerworld sprites of the Grou/Kyo fight, seeing Groudon on the tiny little island made me so sad. It looked like Kyogre was just a bully for the most part. Above all, Rayquaza remains the king of Hoenn though.

When it comes to Groudon and Kyogre, I have always been a fan of Kyogre. So my vote goes to Kyogre. Plus it looks very awesome.

I've always liked Groudon more, as the land titan concept is more interesting to me than a radically designed orca. Not that Kyogre is badly designed, but I just find using Groudon more fun, especially since its primal form makes it even more deadly.

I would've chosen Kyogre if it weren't for the Ray-ray option in the poll.

It's more to a type preference than anything. Also, Kyogre has an overworld surfing sprite. Groudon doesn't have anything simillar to that.

Although for looks I like Rayquaza best, I just love Kyogre. (Is definitely not influenced by owning sapphire as first Pokemon game or alpha sapphire)

I've always liked the three members of the Weather Trio pretty equally in the past. Usually I decide on which game I'm getting based on the mascot legendary, but since I didn't exactly favor one over the other, I went with Alpha Sapphire since I have Ruby. And riding on Kyogre is fun (though not that smooth underwater because Game Freak forgot to make things a little bigger so Kyogre can fit through).

But, I gave my vote to Groudon in this poll.....BECAUSE HOLY **** THAT PRIMAL FORM IS AWESOME. Been using Primal Groudon on Showdown and it is fantastic. Can't wait to transfer my Groudon to ORAS, give it the Red Orb, and start wreckin' ****!

For me it's Groudon not only did I play Ruby/Omega Ruby but in my opinion its design and primal form look far better than that of Kyogre's, not to mention it just likes to chill in burning lava! I transferred my Adamant EV trained (Flawless) Groudon to Hoenn and with that Red Orb everything is getting #rekt!

I wouldn't however back Primal Groudon to win against Primal Kyogre after gaining that dual Ground/Fire typing unless Groudon managed to hit with a "lucky" Solarbeam or something..

I voted Kyogre, since its Primal design looks better than Groudon's (Groudon looks kinda off-colored) and I do love Water-types, and will probably be playing Alpha Sapphire as my main version this time around as opposed to Ruby in the original games. And Kyogre gets its own model when you use Surf as well, and I definitely want to ride on that big blue thing.

However, both Precipice Blades and Origin Pulse are cool-looking moves on their own.

Desolate Land nullifies Water-type moves and Primal Groudon is bulky as all getout. Nothing to scoff at.

Desolate Land means he loses his 4x weakness against water, and even if Primordial Sea is in play, at the very least his Ground STAB moves are unaffected by it. (Whereas Desolate Land really cripples Kyogre)

It really depends on who wins this weather war, though.

Now this is a total toughie!
I love Kyogre but Groudon is totally BadAsh

Then end of the day as he say Ray Ray owns the day!
Remembering the cheesey grace music as Rayquaza descended to stop the two pokemons loving quarrel ah good times

So rayquaza wins for me. Although PERSONALLY I am not a fan of his Mega form.

Kyogre. My fav legendary design. Groudon is just another cool looking dinosaur/dragon looking thing but Kyogre is a blue killer whale....and its black shiny is amazing.

As a fan of Water Pokemon (And no, I'm not Misty XD) I prefer Kyogre. And after Articuno (Ice counts as frozen water?)it's my favourite legendary. When I was a child, I hated Fire types, so I would have hated Groudon now because of that, now it's OK

Groudon is just another (anything)
You're kidding, right? Groudon is the first physically specialized legendary. A mono-typed Ground mon as a title-holding legendary was unheard of in Generations 1 and 2.

I got Alpha Sapphire for Thundurus, and am having some serious buyer's remorse. Groudon is terrifying on the field - Kyogre falls to a Thunderbolt from half the pokes on my rotation.

I prefer Rayquaza way over anything else. But I go for Kyogre since it's Kyogre vs Groudon. I think its design is better than Groudon who just looks like a beefed up Barney to me. I do prefer reptiles over whales/aquatic life but Groudon just isn't for me. I always disliked him since Mystery Dungeon and he was being mean.
Also because Kyogre is blue and I love blue.

in terms of typing groudon's cool, but in terms of designs in correlation to what pleases my aesthetically, i don't find groudon desirable. In terms of personal preference and aesthetic, Kyogre is far more pleasing to me.

I voted for both because I don't really have a preference, honestly. I say I like Kyogre better sometimes but that's really because I like blue and Sapphire was my first Pokemon game. I like both of their designs and their glowing Primal forms look sick. However, I meant to vote for the last option because I really do love Rayquaza a lot more!
