Quotes
Before battle:
"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..."
Trivia
- Flint has a slight resemblence to the McDonald's mascot, Ronald McDonald due to the red afro, yellow shirt and slightly pale face. Because of this, he has been a butt of many jokes among Pokémon fans.
- Although he specializes in fire-types, only two of the five Pokémon he uses are actually fire-type.
