Alain being a girl would have been super refreshing actually, Ash's main rival/one of the biggest battling powerhouses of the series being a girl would have been a nice change of pace. It's similar to how I thought Serena's storyline, with a few tweaks to focus on gender, would have been much, much better for a male character. Sadly XY has this weird gender stereotype thing going on which seems to have subsided a bit in Sun&Moon.
I've always thought Pokemon has had decent gender representation (before XY anyways) but never perfect. Which is odd because the games have been pretty good with equal representation between genders (not always perfect but not terrible either), so it's disappointing the anime hasn't followed. Out of 8 champions, 3 have been girls which is almost even, so it's surprising there's never been a girl winning the league.
