The Team Plasma member seen in various trailers in the past is 「ゲーチス」 Geechisu. He is met for the first time in Karakusa Town, the second town in the game.
Sanyou City, where the first Gym of the games will be, has three Gym Leaders: Dent (formerly referred to as "Dento" on Bulbapedia and Bulbanews), Pod and Corn. The Gym Leader to be faced depends on the starter chosen. Those who chose Tsutarja will battle Pod and his Baoppu, those who choose Pokabu will battle Corn and his Hiyappu and those who choose Mijumaru will battle Dent and his Yanappu; all of these Pokémon have a type advantage over the starters chosen.
Aloe, the Gym Leader of the second Gym in the games, mainly trains Normal-type Pokémon.
