I was told there was a new Legends trailer out and this is what I got.
A Pokémon Presents video presentation is set for Wednesday, 18th August at 9am EDT.
The show, which will be broadcast on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, will feature Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends Arceus.
Preorder bonus announced, an Arceus Sitting Cuties Plush (no design yet):

lol that stuff has been up for preorder for months by now. Come on Wario.
Official site has been updated.
Hisui region is proto-Sinnoh, not a new region.
You battle wild mons directly in the field, not transported to a new battlefield.
Speed stat determines how frequently you have a turn, and you can see turn order much like FF10.
Attacking in "Agile Style" increases frequency of turns, but reduces attack power.
Attacking in "Strong Style" reduces frequency of turns, but increases attack power.
Hisuian Growlithe is Fire/Rock type.
Basculin evolution is named Basculegion, a Water/Ghost type.
Hisuian Braviary is Psychic/Flying type.
Stantler evolution is named Wyrdeer, a Normal/Psychic type.
Guessing Growlithe evo gonna look more like a komainu, though that seems kinda obvious.
I know they've said these new games aren't going to have ranked, but I hope they add those forms to Sword and Shield.

Cool, a Pokemon Souls-like.
If its a Souls-like, that means it'll actually look good as an open-world game, right?
...Right?
Stone Scyther!
Some familiar faces. I mean Mai is just Marley's JP name, but cool to see her and Mars' ancestors like that to remind us it's Sinnoh. I bet the wardens will behave a lot like the kahunas.
I'm sure the game will be fun for a lot of folks but I can't adequately express my disappointment that they have this big ass, cool open world Pokemon experience with stealth, Action focused player-combat, and these new mechanics and then when it comes to Pokemon Battles its just "Hey lets stop all that and revert back to 1999 again LOL". Like damn, let the gameboy 4-move turn based bullshit die already, it was a limit built out of necessity due to the Gameboys hardware okay? It doesn't need to be in every game ; ~ ;
But I dont wanna be all negative here, everything else we've seen looks like a wonderful step in the right direction though, I especially liked the leaping Pokeball throw. Despite the lackluster Pokemon battles this game will probably be a big enough divergence from a standard Pokemon title that I'll be able to play and enjoy it, so I'm looking forward to more info as it drops.
Fingers crossed I can beat the whole game by Sand-bagging everything *shrug*
Official site not updated, but Serebii suggests Hisuian Zorua/Zoroark are Normal/Ghost type.
