1) Yayakoma - Japanese Robin Pokémon that's normal/flying type. It has a "beautiful voice" and can use "Flame Charge".

2) Yancham has been called a "naughty" Pokémon. Classed as fighting type it can learn  a useful new move called "Parting Remark" that lowers the opponent's stats and forces a switch.

3) Gogoat is Grass-type, can be ridden across the overworld and is capable of learning Horn Leech.

4) Elikiteru is a new lizard that's electric/normal type and capable of learning a new move called Parabola Charge - it selfheals whilst damaging opponent.

Also reported in this issue is the ability to customise your trainer by tweaking their hair colour and skin shade for the first time.

The main hub/city has been translated as "Miare".

I actually really like all of those except maybe the bird thing. Do we really need a new normal/flying every generation?

I hope the customization goes a little deeper than that, but it's a cool first step.

At least the new bird has something unique about it. Maybe one of the evolutions adds a fire typing. Even if not, a non-fire type that can use fire moves is interesting. 

Like video game music?!

I'm hoping the bird is not just another normal/flying type but a fire type. Either way, I'm really liking how the Pokemon are looking so far; knowing GF, those will most likely be the only customization options we'll end up with, though I still cannot help but be excited for this game - it's a bit revolutionary. Even if the trainers still have yet to move in any other directions besides cardinally.
