The guy in front of the Glalie gives me Wulfric vibes, and the guy in orange nearby looks like Gardenia. Whoever's being carried by Braviary feels familiar, possible Cheryl ancestor?
Japanese names for fun, with what I think some of the name origins are:
Wooloo: ウールー Ūrū (same name, different spelling with 'u' being used for the 'wu' sound)
Gossifleur: ヒメンカ Himenka (menka means cotton wool)

Pausing in the 5 minute Japanese trailer, Lysandre's Pyroar looks to be in a Master Ball.
Also from that trailer, Giovanni...
And they've changed up the Island Scan Pokémon, too, with the English trailer showing Charmander, Grovyle and Greninja. Think it's safe to assume the other Kanto/Hoenn/Kalos starters will show up as well.
So only the Sinnoh starters aren't catchable in any Alola games. Hmm...
Will pick up both, but I'm thinking of playing Ultra Moon first. Since the version exclusives seem to match the previous games so far, that may mean we won't be able to get all the clothes without messing around with the Festival Plaza again *sigh*. Should it be the case of warm colours in...
