Pokémon Presents reveals more details on Legends: Z-A and new battle game

A new Pokémon Presents has aired today - Pokémon Day - and revealed more about the upcoming game Pokémon Legends Z-A, as well as a new battle-focused game. The full presentation can be seen below:

After a little bit of Pokemon history and some brief trailers on mobile games, a new game was announced: Pokemon Champions. It will be available on the Nintendo Switch as well as mobile devices, and focuses on core-style battles. It will also connect to Pokemon Home.

Finally, we learned more about Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

As revealed exactly one year ago today, the game takes place inside Lumiose City in Kalos, which is undergoing a redevelopment plan. It was revealed the first partner Pokémon are Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile. Various characters are introduced, then we see the Wild Zones, areas where wild Pokémon thrive.

A new battle system is present, which appears to be more real-time rather that turn-based. Moves can have a longer or shorter reach or different areas of effect. Pokémon appear to be able to dodge moves and attack from different angles. Mega Evolution is confirmed to make a return, although no new Mega Evolutions were revealed. Screenshots:
