Dang, I am not into Blanche at all. Team Mystic was very nearly my team thanks to the beauty of Articuno (I only went Instinct because I didn't want to be constantly fighting my already-Instinct-aligned friends, haha), but now I'm glad I didn't pick blue. The outfit is too overdone--and not in the normal goofy Pokemon way I love--and something about Blanche's face just looks a little off to me.
Candela is objectively the best-looking leader (that coat! that hair! that pose!), but Spark is a fun second. I'm pleased with my nerd-rock gym leader. XD
I think Blanche's official pose, as it were, doesn't really do her justice. Some of the fanart puts her in more dynamic poses and that rather busy outfit doesn't look quite so bombastic.
Candela is true to my heart but I do love how fandom has taken the idea of Spark: Nerd-rocker/Boyband Drop Out/Tries Really Hard!! and run with it. We'll enjoy it before Niantic inevitably reveals something that completely crushes it and just isn't as interesting. (But we could be wrong! You never know.)
