I think they were trying to be unpredictable in the early designs. Blaine doesn't really fit his element, either, save for the crazy design that he originally had in which he looks like an islander too. Not to mention some of the first gen gyms had trainers outside their element. Falkner doesn't seem to have too much to do with his type from his design, and neither does Jasmine. True, some of these still apply, even in the redesigns. Some types just don't have a lot to work off of, so they've had to go on an unusual angle. The design never really mattered to me.
