Flint in a memory

Flint is yet to appear in the anime, but he was mentioned in An Elite Meet and Greet! by Lucian and in A Trainer and Child Reunion! by Officer Jenny.

In the games

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Flint is the third member of the Sinnoh Elite Four. He is friends with Volkner, the Gym Leader of Sunyshore City.

Flint first encounters the player in Sunyshore City, informing him about the recent blackouts and Volkner's disillusionment as a Gym Leader. He asks the player to bring back the excitement of Pokémon battles to Volkner before seemingly returning to the Pokémon League.

In Pokémon Platinum, Flint and Volkner challenge the player and their rival to a double battle upon their arrival to the new Battle Frontier.

Quotes

Diamond and Pearl

Before battle:

"Yo Trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle?

During battle:

"I can feel your determination. Your will is overpowering me!"

"This situation... This is heating up! I'm blazing now!"

When defeated:

"...! I wasn't expecting this! I wasn't looking down on you... But I didn't think for one second that I'd lose! This is fantastic! You and your Pokémon are inspiring!"

After battle:

"...Whew... Burnt right down to cinders..."

Last words:

".....................Keep going..."

Platinum

Before battle:

"Yo Trainer! You had me counting the days on my fingers waiting for you to come. I heard from Volkner what you did in Sunyshore. You managed to light a fire in that guy's heart again. How could you not expect me to look forward to seeing you in battle? You're facing a Fire-type Pokémon user with me. Let Flint see how hot your spirit burns!"

Before battle (second time and after):

"I was waiting for you, challenger! Flint, the master of the Fire-type, is up next! Battles are clashes of the burning spirit of Pokémon. Battles aren't about appearances or what's weak or strong. It all comes down to whether the combatants can burn hot or not."

During battle:

"I can feel your determination. Your will is overpowering me!"

"This situation... This is heating up! I'm blazing now!"

When defeated:

"...! I don't believe it! I lost! I didn't take you for granted. Bud I'd never even considered it! I'm blown away by this! You and your Pokémon are hot stuff!"

After battle:

"...Whew... Burnt right down to cinders..."

Last words:

".........Keep going...I know your spirit burns hot. Your whole team does."

Trivia

The double battle against Flint and Volkner.
  • Although he specializes in Fire-types, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only two of the five Pokémon he uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them and only four of these are actual attacking moves. In Pokémon Platinum, his entire team consists of his specialty type.
  • Flint's Magmortar is the only Pokémon of a member of the Elite Four to use seals in Pokémon Platinum. Incidentally, it is used in the double battle with Volkner, who uses his Electivire, the only Pokémon of a Gym Leader to have seals.
  • The seals on Magmortar's ball are positioned to appear as if Magmortar were shooting flames from its arm cannon.
  • Apparently, based on a girl watching the double battle between the player and Pearl, him and Volkner are always arguing.
  • His red afro, yellow shirt, and pale white skin makes Flint look similiar to Ronald McDonald.
