Yeah a female leader would be nice this time around. Even Cipher, Snagem, Go Rock Squad and Dim Sun all had male leaders.
And with the female professor, a new addition, I wouldn't be surprised to see female team leader this time around.
From the samples we've heard so far, they seem quite realistic, and they don't seem to be going for a pronunciation of the Pokemon's Japanese names. If you watch any of the battle videos you can hear their cries at the start of it, usually.
If I recall, I found a Shiny Metapod in HG right after getting pokeballs at the earliest point in the story. On Route 30. Literally first encounter on my second trip up the route. I nearly ran out of Pokeballs, too.
I'd say Fire types and Ghosts are in need of some more. Ice... Eh, I'd say the current rate is fine for them.
What I'd like to see is an Unknown type pokemon. Resists nothing, and nothing is super against it.
Seeing as Dento has the Broccoli monkey in the anime, it is likely that he's going to be a Grass gym leader, or possibly the Fire-Water-Grass leader, with 3 pokemon. Either way, we know he's at least grass now.
