Pokémon Champions Details: New Characters and Town Details

While not part of the Pokémon Presents earlier, the official Japanese Pokémon Information X (formerly Twitter) account has revealed new characters with in-game screenshots for the upcoming Pokémon Champions. This is what we know as of now:

Kitt (Japanese: ルッコラ)

A caretaker of Pokémon at the Roster Ranch (Japanese: スカウト牧場). She bears some similarities to the Pokémon Breeder Trainer Class in Generation 7 (Sun/Moon/Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon).

Cordy (Japanese: コーディ)

Pokémon training coordinator with a lot of knowledge on Pokémon battles. He is hinted to be the NPC that gives the player tips on battling.

Caraway (Japanese: キャラウェイ)

Owner of the Battle Arena and enjoys watching Pokémon battles. It is her dream to raise the strongest Pokémon Trainer so she's putting a lot of effort on scouting new Pokémon Trainers.

Kajima (Japanese: ナカジマナ)

Caraway's father and mayor of フロンティアシティ (unofficial: Frontier City), aims to turn Pokémon battles into a form of entertainment.

Tatora (Japanese: トトラ)

Receptionist at a Pokémon Gym that handles a lot of the administrative work. She is very fond of the player's progress as a Pokémon Trainer.

What we know as of now

At this point it is revealed that the player would likely be able to battle within フロンティアシティ (unofficial: Frontier City) with plenty of helpful NPCs and that Gyms are returning to some capacity. We are also introduced to Roster Ranch which from its namesake is most likely where the player would interact with the scout mechanic to recruit new Pokémon within Champions without sending Pokémon from Home. Cordy is also most likely tied to the training mechanics that allows players to exchange Training Tickets to alter the moves, nature, individual values, and effort values of a non-rented Pokémon.

We will soon release a detailed page outlining all the released paid and free game elements so you can start preparing for the release of Pokémon Champions (and to decide on what things to or not to spend money on).
