That theory about Ancient Power is interesting. Ancient Power's description says that the Pokémon using it "attacks with a prehistoric power". Do you think that prehistoric power could be the same power that Groudon and Kyogre absorbed from nature to Primal Reverse?
If it is, maybe in the present that power is indeed weaker (the official site already seems to imply this), and drawing from it is only enough to produce an attack. I remember proposing a sort of energy siphon as the Primal Reversion item, and it would fit well with this theory. The Pokémon would need to amplify or store enough of the now-weaker natural power to be able to Primal Reverse.
Although there is also the attack Nature Power, which is directly stated to use nature's power just like Groudon and Kyogre. What do you think about it? None of the weather trio learns it.
Also, about Mega Evolution, maybe the difference it has with Primal Reversion is the source of the power the Pokémon uses to transform. Mega Evolution may use hidden potential that has always been within the Pokémon, while Primal Reversion may utilize energy that comes from an outside source; from the environment. This would also fit with the item for Primal Reversion being an energy siphon that channels the energy from the world into the Pokémon.
That's what I started to think after I posted that and looked back at the quote.
If there are more Primals other than GKR they may end up being the ones who can learn Ancient Power by level up. Well the exceptions to that could be Togekiss seeing how Togekiss itself doesn't learn the move but Togepi and Togetic do, and Aerodactyl already has a Mega. Oh and the Tao trio too as it should be a fusion of the three dragons.
Even Corsola could get a Primal, as Corals existed in the distant past (interestingly Pacificlodge is said to have been built over Corsola, and that town seems to have a connection to the Regis (plus Sky Pillar is nearby) so it maybe old).
The other Pokemon on that list are the fossils which are ancient and can probably draw more of the power of the past. Also Claydol and Bronzong are quite ancient too. Then there's Carbink which was created after millions of years, so it may actually have been created by the natural energy coming in contact with a diamond on the ground.
Now as for the symbols. Perhaps they could have the version exclusive's have either Alpha or Omega. The ones in both such as Corsola can have Delta.
