Talk:Flint
Can we really classify Flint as a Fire-type trainer if he only has two Fire-types? His team is actually rather well-balanced, and is only very slightly biased towards Fire. Drapion 00:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- The official DP site lists him as Fire-type trainer. Also: he has TWO Fire-type Pokémon. A Normal-type, a Steel-type and a Ghost-type are in his team because there are few Fire Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex. - Taylor 00:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- That's no excuse. Look at the Fire types in the anime version Sinnoh (including Charmeleon and Quilava, for gods sake). I'm sorry, but 2 Fire-types out of 5 Pokemon does not a Fire-trainer make. And in the Ultimate Fire-Trainer Showdown of Destiny Steelix would get laughed of the field. Flint could at least get himself a Magmortar... - Cassius335
- None of those are Sinnoh Dex Pokémon, though, which is the point. --DarkfireTaimatsu 23:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- The only available Fire-type Pokémon before obtaining the Nation Dex are the Chimchar line and the Ponyta line. There wasn't much of a choice. Besides, all his non-Fire Pokémon know Fire-type moves. If he is listed as an official DP site lists him as a Fire-type trainer than that's good enough for me. We can't just go changing what's official because we feel he doesn't have enough Fire Pokémon. --☆ケンジガール 00:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

No the bloon dos not know any fire type moves. Cerberus 21:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Will-o-Wisp causes burns, though, like a Fire move. --DarkfireTaimatsu 21:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
- Will-O-Wisp IS a fire-type move. All of Flint's Pokémon have fire-type attacks, even if they don't cause direct damage. Happy now? And as for the Nat. Dex: You must pass through the Elite 4 before you may obtain the National Dex. Who even says that Flint has a Pokédex in the first place? Berrymaster 22:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- Why wouldn't he have a Pokedex? And as Fire-moves go, Will-O-Wisp is kinda perfunctionary. - Cassius335 23:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

LMAO, "we suspect drugs were involved". classic.→User:Thomas1652
magmortar in team
in the advert it shows him releasing a magmortar and its confirmed that the pokedex has been upgraded so he could have a magmortar in his team to make up for the lack of fire. --Guardian of Earth |SGMS 2010 18:56, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Its not a confirmation. Looking at the video closely, you will notice that there is a wifi symbol on the battle scene, and that the place that Magmortar is standing would technically be Volkner's Pokemon. Its just bad placement. I don't think it should be mentioned unless its confirmed.

Brother?
didn't Buck say that he had a brother and Flint is just like him Ultamatecharizard 11:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- That's just speculation until we get some official confirmation. Anyway, Buck's page mentions it already, so maybe it could fit into trivia, as long as you word it correctly. --((Marton imos)) 11:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- While talking to Buck in Stark mountain he says right-out that Flint is his brother Pyles 17:17, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Drifblim ability
So it says its ability is Unknown, I've gotten Aftermath in mine whenever I attack it. Can anyone else confirm that its always Aftermath in their games?

why is the title Flint (Elite Four)?
I don't see any other Flint----Ultamatecharizard 17:45, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Brock's father. That character is the original Flint, and a highly notable character to boot, hence the Flint disambig. --Shiningpikablu252 17:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Concerns about the image.
It is only his upper part. I would really like it if we could find the other half. Superjustinbros. 14:42, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Japanese Villa Comments?
From the Trivia section: "When talking to Volkner in the Villa, he reveals that the reason that Flint uses the Fire-type is because of his name."
Does anyone know what it says in the Japanese version? I can't imagine that it's the same, considering that Flint's Japanese name is apparently based off of an herb. --Dual 07:07, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Apparently, the original japanese text is:
オレが初めてジムバッジを手に入れたときにつかったわざが１０まんボルト！ あのときのうれしさを忘れないため、オレは電気タイプにこだわりながら強さを求めている。ちなみに、 オーバは自分の名前がわざのオーバーヒートに似ているから炎タイプにこだわっているだけだ。, meaning that Flint (Ooba オーバ) is similar to Overheat (Oobaahiito オーバーヒート). Now I'm wondering what translators of other languages came up with: Adrien, Ignaz, Vulcano, Fausto, 대엽 Daeyeop. --Siegfried 13:33, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Huh, that's not so hard to do. Same Platinum saves can work between all language versions (except Korean). The problem is, that I have never went that far in Platinum. It'd require much extra playing from me. And I'm currently getting through the Korean HGSS. --Maxim 14:37, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Flint's Infernape
So, Flint's Internape... does it deserve its own page? Fair enough, it's only appeared in one episode so far but more than likely it'll appear again as well as the fact that it had a substanital role in the last episode, quite a bit is known about its past and all the other members of the Sinnoh Elite Four have a Pokémon with a specific page so why not Infernape?
