Apparently that's their transformation device, called a Smile Pact, that they keep in that little blue pouch at their waist. Some Japanese websites are running around a rumour that their transformation speech is "Pretty Cure! Smile Charge!".

I find the style ok (in this picture only, I really disliked the drawing from the other leaked pictures) and quite Pretty Cure-ish. I just don't like the impossible-not-to-notice similarities between this new series and all the other series in the past. It's like they took some elements from each of the past series and mashed it together to get this. Like when I see this pink cure, I cannot see her as a new chara, I just see her as Blossom with Tsubomi's hairstyle lol.
