I was inspired by the opening to Sinnoh League Victors, where these two legendary Pokemon both burst out of the sea and look as though they are about to battle. So, who do you think would win? I'm going to say Lugia because he is my favorite, and because he beats Kyogre on all but 2 stats (Attack and Sp. Atk).
 
I prefer Lugia's design, but I went with Kyogre. Drizzle alongside Thunder and Surf, backed up by Kyogre's tremendous Special Attack? Count me in! Kyogre has always appealed to me, as everything about it - its ability, stats, and movepool - all work well together. It's also offense-orientated while Lugia is defense-orientated, and I prefer the former.
 
Kyogre, by far. It can cause massive damage to Lugia with rain-boosted Surfs/Hydro Pumps/Water Spouts as well as a 100% accurate Thunder.
 
Lugia is my favorite Legendary Pokemon (as well as my first). It just looks so sleek, simple, elegant yet deadly. How can one not like it?

That said, Kyogre is in my top 5 as well.

Both are the mascots of the first versions I got from their respective generations.

Kyogre is quite possibly the most brutal offensive Pokemon in the current metagame, but Lugia is without a doubt the most powerful wall.

Who'd win? I couldn't say. Rain boosted Water Spouts and Hydro Pumps hurt like hell, but Lugia can Roost off the damage and fire off 100% accurate Thunders right back at Kyogre (taking advantage of it's own ability no less). There's also the fact that Kyogre doesn't have recovery moves. Then there's Calm Mind, which has to be factored in to both sides of the equation....

Lugia's faster though, so if he used Thunder first, Kyogre's Water Spout (possibly it's deadliest move) would suck, giving Lugia the advantage. If Kyogre has a Choice Scarf, it's stuck using the one move while Lugia can alternate between Thunder, Aeroblast and Roost.

Oh, but did I mention that Kyogre's attacks REALLY hurt?

It's hard to choose a winner in battle, but I'm just going to pick Lugia since it's my favorite Legendary.
 
I've always preferred Kyogre, strangely. Lugia's design is better, but I like Kyogre's attacking prowess.
 
I've gotta go with Kyogre here. It's a freaking whale... esque... orca... thing that created the Pokemon world's seas.

And combined with Kyogre's Drizzle ability, Thunder, and water moves with STAB I'm pretty sure it would win in a battle against Lugia too.
 
Argh why put my two favourite legendaries against each other!?!?

I pick chocolate milk!
 
Gen 3 is my second-favorite Generation, but I have to go with Lugia. Awesome, powerful, and it's a Flying-type, making it instant awesome. Plus it's voiced by DAN GREEN!
 
Lugia, because it's the real guardian of the seas, it's more beautiful, and it's part of the best region ever so far.
