From the website
Ginter seems to be Volkner's ancestor and Volo would likely be Cynthia's.
Adaman & Irida seem to be original, though Irida's color scheme reminds me a lot of May
...Well there goes my theory that Cynthia's ancestor would be the villain of the game... 
Adaman and Irida looking kinda sussy tho... I've wanted another game with two proper evil teams for the longest time, so if that is the case I'll be satisfied

Calling it now - Volo is the game antagonist.

Oh, nice, another news drop that lasts longer than 40 seconds and tells us a little bit more about the game.
I hope we get a steadier stream of these weeklyish trailers in the ramp up to the game, because I do not find this style of reveal cycle to be particularly hype generating. I much preferred sun and moon's reveal cycle. Obviously PLA's cycle can't do the same in terms of Pokemon reveals because there's only going to be a handful of new forms, but they could at least show more gameplay like in this trailer. I know everybody complains that sun and moon revealed too much, but personally I feel like swsh & pla's reveal cycles course-corrected too hard in the other direction.
:/ I kind of hope this quest isn't cool, because I still have no plans to buy bdsp. Do video game rental stores still exist? Maybe I can just rent the game somewhere to get the save data. :P

You could always just buy it, play it for two seconds and then return it with the receipt right?
My guess is something like O-Powers
Team Galactic clothes are also available with BDSP data.
“BDSP data lets you access Darkrai and also gives you this sweet ass Cyrus suit”
I told myself that i’d save my money for Legends and not buy BDSP.
However.

Adaman and Irida can be seen wearing the Adamant Orb and Lustrous Orb, respectively.
Additionally, their names are likely derived from “adamant”* and “iridescent” (loose synonym of “lustrous”).
*Adamant is likely used for the orb name due to its similarity to “adamantine” (unbreakable), which is a pun on how 金剛 (kongou, the Japanese word for “diamond”) can also be used to mean adamantine and the fact that the Adamant Orb is called こんごうだま (Kongoudama, Diamond Orb) in Japanese. Nvm I’m dumb see Mad Ram’s reply
As for their Japanese names, my best guess is that セキ (Seki, Adaman) is derived from 宝石 (ほうせき, houseki), meaning gem/jewel/precious stone, and that カイ (Kai, Irida) is derived from 石灰岩 (せっかいがい, sekkaigai), meaning lime limestone—perhaps in reference to cave pearls, which form in limestone caves. I’m much more certain about Seki than Kai, but my Japanese isn’t good enough to figure out any other potential origins—this is the closest to a pearl reference I could find.

This is some interesting info. So Sinnohwas the name of an entitiy (Or entities?) and the region was named after that. From the way Iririda and Adaman speak, Sinnoh is some sort of deity. What I'm curious about iswhether Sinnoh is meant to be Arceus or the respective legendary dragons of each clan, or the creation trio as a whole.
My crackpot prediction: Sinnoh is the Dialga/Palkia fusion that can be seen in that one Eterna City statue.
Realistically thought it's probably just an old name for Arceus
