Game Freak didn\'t wait until Generation 4 to make Rayquaza the \"trio master\"; the status was applied in Emerald, which is a Generation 3 game just like the games (Ruby/Sapphire) where Rayquaza debuted in. There\'s no reason why they would have to wait until Gen 6; they would be able to do the same thing with Kyuremu in the rumored third \"Gray Version\" as they did with Rayquaza. And Junichi Masuda (Pokemon game director) has recently displayed surprise at that mentioned recent interview, so currently \"Gray Version\" is neither confirmed nor denied.

Oh, and in Japanese, Reshiram is known as the White Yang Pokemon while Zekrom is the Black Yin Pokemon (the same way Pidgey is a Tiny Bird Pokemon).
