How does she not count just because she's almost as old as Crystal? How does that make any sense? And if we're only judging recent girls, then what about White? She's probably the sportiest protagonist yet.
And I wouldn't call her "pretty girly" in Emerald because I hardly consider that to be a dress. It barely covers her crotch. It's more like a really long shirt that she wears with shorts underneath. She's also wearing very practical shoes and gloves, and there's nothing about her "dress" that indicates it will get in the way of her adventuring.
Also, even if Lyra is girly, her outfit isn't impractical. It looks pretty damn comfortable to me. The only characters that you can say are sacrificing sense for the sake of femininity are Dawn and Leaf, and that's two out of six girls.
If it was just that, then that's one thing (even if I do think it's silly to be upset over something so minor) but she claimed that it was SEXIST for her to be replaced by a girly character, which is so not true.
