Yup! I got one a few days ago! That thing is so cute, it's crazy. I really like how they redid all the cries of the older Pokemon to sound more modern. Raichu's is adorable!
To get Eevee to evolve into Sylveon, you need to have Eevee learn a Fairy-type move (Charm is one I remember), get maximum bond in Pokemon Amie and then gain a level.
I don't think gender matters that much, but I'm noticing it's becoming a trend. In Z (assuming there is a Z version coming) I'll bet it will be someone different who was an NPC in X and Y. Would be cool if Red came back though... maybe all grown up or something. xD Black and White are supposed to be set several years after the earlier generations, and BW 2 two more years after that. Yet at the PWC Red (and the other Leaders for that matter) haven't aged a day. xD
I see that now that you mention it. The psychic one is pretty crazy too. What shocks me the most is how right I was before the leak about knowing who the Champion was. xD
This is true. I really like Korrina's design too. Some of the Gym Leaders this generation are... strange. xD I don't know how the Fairy one can move her arms.
