These are Flint's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl

Sunyshore City

• Upon entering the city

"Yo! Fellow Trainer! Your Pokémon are secure inside their Poké Balls, but there's no masking that aura of serious toughness! Oops, sorry, I should introduce myself. The name's Flint! I'm one of the Pokémon League's Elite Four!"

"I just had this idea. Maybe you can pull it off. It's about this town's Gym Leader. He's really lost his enthusiasm lately because there've been so few good challengers worth his time. He's so bored, he spends all his time renovating the Gym. And then the blackout happened... That sure didn't help lift his mood. You know where I'm going with this, don't you? I need you to give him a battle that's so hot, it will reignite his passion for battling. I'm counting on you, hotshot!"

• Outside of Sunyshore Gym, before the player talks to Volkner at the Vista Lighthouse

"Yo! Hiya! He hasn't come back yet. When he does, you know what you've gotta do. Give him a battle that's so hot, it will reignite his passion for battling! I'm counting on you, hotshot!"

• Outside of Sunyshore Gym, after the player talks to Volker at the Vista Lighthouse

"Yo! Hiya! He's finally come back! He seemed to be feeling upbeat, too. I have a hunch that he recognized your toughness right away. I bet he's getting excited over the thought of battling you. Remember what you have to do, hotshot. Give him a battle that's so hot, it will reignite his passion for battling! All right, hotshot! I'll be waiting at the Pokémon League!"

Pokémon League

• 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!"^Pt

• After sending out last Pokémon

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

• When last Pokémon is at critical health

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

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

"...! 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!"^DP

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

"Whoa! I wasn't expecting this! I wasn't looking down on you, but I didn't think for a second that I'd lose! This is fantastic! You and your Pokémon are inspiring!"^BDSP

Pokémon Platinum only

Pokémon League

• Before battle (rematch)

"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."

Fight Area

"Yo, Trainer! It's been too long, amigo! Now I don't know what your pal speedy there's been spouting... But we're not doing this out of spite or anything bad natured like that. The Battle Frontier behind us is where the best Trainers gather. We're being kind enough to let you see if you're up to the challenge! You really ought to be grateful!"

• Before battle

"This situation just cooks! The drama and tension sizzles! Flint, the fiery master of fire Pokémon, is going to put you to the test! Let Flint see how hot your spirit burns!"

• Upon being defeated

"..."

• After being defeated

"... ... ... ..."

Villa

"Hey, you! You used my prize money to buy this furniture, didn't you? So, I've got a right to lounge here, am I right?"

"Hey, listen, you! If that Volkner tries to sell you on Electric-type Pokémon, ignore him! You have to go with Fire-type Pokémon. It's the way of the future!"

• To Volkner

"...Volkner."

"Let's say I'm in a battle, OK? What if I didn't use my Poké Balls? Instead, I can have my guys come in and out of my Afro to battle. That'd bewilder the other guy, huh? Wouldn't that be hilarious?"

"Hmm..."

"It's this place. You know how drab the League is? Don't you think the place should be more, you know, festive? With more decorations, awards, and things like that?"

"Say, hey, Volkner. What do you say we battle here?"

"What, we are?"

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl only

• First rematch

• Before battle

"Yo, Trainer! I've been waiting on the edge of my seat for you to come! I've been training myself for this moment, so you won't catch me running out of gas again! I won't just bring the heat— I'm going supernova! Hope you're warmed up, cause here comes the Big Bang!

• Upon sending out last Pokémon

"Hey! I'm about to go full throttle!"

• Upon being defeated

"Incredible! Your moves are so hot, they make mine look lukewarm!"

• After being defeated

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

• If talked to after being defeated

".........Come again soon."

• Second rematch onward

• Before battle

"Yo, <player>! I've been boiling over waiting to see you again! Any battle with you is guaranteed to get heated. But right now, my soul is burning at 15 million degrees— hotter than the surface of the sun!

• Upon sending out last Pokémon

"Hey! I'm about to go full throttle!"

• When last Pokémon is at critical health

"Things are getting so hot, I can see heat waves!"

• Upon being defeated

"Unbelievable! What burning passion!"

• After being defeated

"Just when I need him the most, he has to go and throw out his back!"

"I made it so far, and now I don't have a team..."

"But just when you think my fire's gonna go out, it starts to burn even brighter!"

"Huh? Who talks like that? Sounds like somebody reading a book."

"Shauntal!"

"Well, yeah, I'm here. Anyway..."

"You weren't thinking of competing in the PML, were you?"

"... ..."

"Whooooaaa! I just found the best possible teammate!"

"C'mon, Shauntal! You gotta team up with me so we can burn up the PML together!"

"I know good and well how fiery your spirit is! You and I together would be the strongest team out there!"

"Yeah? Well, I will, too! As long as we both give it our all, nothing is impossible."

"Just look at your Chandelure!"

• Off-screen

"Can't you see how she's burning up with excitement?"

"Now have a look at my Infernape."

• On-screen

"You can see it, right? That same fiery passion?"

"Don't you see? Pokémon battles are all about how hot your spirit burns!"

"Just like our fiery hearts, our Pokémon's bodies and minds are flaming hot!"

"I don't think anybody can stop us if we team up. We can definitely win this whole thing!"

"How about it, Shauntal?"

"That's what I'm talkin' about, Shauntal!"

"Let's burn the competition down to cinders!"

"Oh, so we're up against you, huh? I've heard a lot about you–and how you're supposedly the new up-and-comer!"

"Let's give it all we've got and have a burning-hot battle! With Shauntal and me together, you're up against two fiery Elite Four members!"

"No need to hope for anything, Shauntal. We've definitely got this!"

"Let's show 'em just how hot we can get!"

"All right, <player>! Let's see how fiery your passion for battles is!"

• Candle and Flame: Part 2

"... ..."

"But I'm done for... Burned right down to cinders..."

"But what about you?"

I'm ready to feel the burn!: "All right! Thanks, <player>!"

All this fire and passion might be a bit too much for me...: "Aww, c'mon! You can never have too much heat! Let me on the team. I promise you won't regret it!"

"Oh, and in case you didn't catch my name, I'm Flint, a Fire-type user who specializes in burning-hot battles!"

Story Event - The Eccentric Electrician

• A Fiery, Electric Showdown!
• Off-screen

"... ... ...!"

"Yeeeaaaaaah!"

• On-screen

"I could feel your fiery spirits! Let me in on some of that action!"

"Volkner?! Why are you here?!"

"I see. Thanks, everyone!"

"Thank you, too, Volkner! I was just about to have to skip out on the battle I promised you."

"What I did for you in Sinnoh?"

"Volkner..."

"I'm not crying! I'm just practicing using Scald with my eyes!"

"Well, I was doing some last-minute training to get ready for my battle with Volkner..."

"and I just had so many great battles with great challengers that I burned away every last bit of my stamina!"

"The training machine I borrowed from the Black Belts this afternoon was pretty rough, too. Wait..."

"Volkner! There's something I'd like to ask you about that..."

• Off-screen

"Team Break?!"

• The Blackout Sparker

"You bet! I think we've caused enough trouble for <player> and friends!"

You guys did great!: "Heh! There's no way Sinnoh's strongest tag team would lose!"

"What's wrong, Clemont?!"

"Hey, Volkner. I didn't get a chance to ask this a second ago, but..."

"You didn't happen to do any of your renovations on the training machines recently, did you?"

"Were the vending machines "broken," too?"

"I knew it was you, Volkner! You know you aren't supposed to go around doing your renovations on random machines!"

"*sigh* I bet you just couldn't help yourself once you started poking around inside those machines, huh?"

"You know you're going to have to revert them all back to normal, right? Before Lear and his gang catch wind of it."

"As you can see, he's a bit irresponsible, but don't hold that against him."

Story Event - New Year and New Friends

"Let's hurry up before Volkner beats us there!"

"See! Great shouting, right?"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Flint

"Whew..."

"Sorry, I just had a blazing-hot battle that nearly burnt me down to cinders."

"But I'm all right now! I just got my strength back."

"You've got something hot with you, don't you. I can feel the heat from here!"

I don't have anything!/You caught me.: "You know I can see right through you, right?"

"Passionate Trainers are always particular about something."

"How about you? What's your secret to success?"

My unwavering will./My commitment to being fashionable.: "I knew it! I can feel your red-hot passion pouring out of you!"

"For me, it's my blazing hairdo!"

"Some people think if you're in the Elite Four, you need to be more clean-cut."

"But do they know how much work I put into this hair? And anyway, it's your heart that matters, not your appearance!"

It looks good on you!: "I knew you'd appreciate it!"

It's unique.: "Is that a compliment?"

"What am I saying? It must be a compliment! Thanks!"

"Infernape has some things he's very particular about, too."

"He always wants to battle against Pokémon that use moves that are a bad type matchup for him!"

"He's been this way ever since he was a Chimchar."

"At first I thought he just wasn't paying attention, but then I realized what was going on."

"This dude's got flames in his eyes! All he's thinking about is how he wants to get stronger!"

"Having him as my partner hasn't been easy, let me tell you. He's nearly turned my hair to ash many, many times."

"People have tried to warn me about him, but I chose to keep on believing in him. We've had a fiery-hot life together!"

"Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not saying you should ignore everybody's advice."

I gotcha!/Oh yeah?: "Always hear what people have to say, but if you still decide you're right, you don't have to change!"

"If you do it that way, then when you fail, you own that failure—but at least you did it your way, right?"

"Staying true to ourselves is our way of battling!"

What a great combination you are!/You guys are cool!: "Heh! Hearing that from you makes the fire in my heart burn even brighter!"

"I haven't had a conversation like this with anybody since Volkner! I like you even more now!"

"Let's have a blazing-hot battle sometime to see whose way of doing things comes out on top!"

Sync Pair Story - A Day with Sygna Suit Red

• Off-screen, as "???"

"Whoa! A Charizard!"

• After appearing, as Flint

"Look, <player>! That's Red's Charizard!"

"There's no mistake about it!"

Seriously? That's awesome!/No way. Are you serious?!: "Yeah, no doubt about it! Watch this."

"Red! See? It reacted to Red's name!"

"As a Fire-type Trainer myself, I'm personally interested in Red and his Charizard."

I see./You too?: "Yeah, you hear a lot of stories about Red."

"Like how he single-handedly dismantled Team Rocket, an organization that was mistreating Pokémon."

"Not only that, but he also became the Champion of the Kanto region!"

"He's a step above most of the Trainers on Pasio. In fact, he's probably more than just one step up."

• Off-screen

"Red!"

• On-screen

"Huh. You don't talk much, do you, Red? I guess that cuts out a lot of meaningless conversation."

"And you snuck up on us completely silently just now! When did you even get here? I didn't notice you at all!"

"Speaking of... How do you give commands to your Pokémon during battles?"

"...?!"

"Wait...<player>. Did he just...?"

"Whoa...did you hear that? Did Red just talk?!"

"A bond so strong you don't even need to say anything... That's how in sync they are!"

"Whooooaaa!"

"I am getting pumped UP!"

"You, too, right, <player>?"

Yeah!: "Yeah, I knew you would!"

"I gotta train right now!"

Meh.: "You're already pumped up to the max, huh?"

"I gotta step up my game!"

"I'll train up my Fire-type moves so much that I'll burn both Charizard and even Red to ashes!"

"Remember this day, <player>! Remember the awe you felt when you gazed upon a living legend!"

"And let that awe fuel your training!"

"Those burning emotions are what give you courage when you really need it!"

Pokémon Center

• Random conversation

"Yo! Hiya! You got a moment for a quick chat?"

"You know, Infernape's fire on its head keeps burning for its whole life."

"And don't you think my hairdo is like a raging fire, too?"

"We've got pretty similar heads, right? Heh, it really makes me feel like we're partners!"

• If spoken to again

"Infernape's fire keeps burning for its whole life."

"It's a great partner to me, with a burning body and a burning heart!"

• Random conversation

"Sometimes people say that as a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four, I should dress more properly."

"But see, this is my style!"

"I told them, if you're going to change your whole style just 'cause someone told you to, that's not very proper as a Trainer, you know?"

"Of course, the day after I said that, I went and burned my foot on Infernape's fire."

"Turns out wearing flip-flops has drawbacks. If someone gives you some advice, you should at least listen!"

• If spoken to again

"Listening to people's advice is definitely good, but that doesn't mean you always have to do as they say."

"At the end of the day, it's up to you. Just don't be stubborn for no reason!"

• Random conversation

"My partner's Infernape! He moves with blinding speed and can unleash powerful blows!"

"His punches are so quick! How quick, you say? Well, uh... Super quick!"

"You can actually follow his movements, since he leaves a trail of fire."

• If spoken to again

"Infernape's the one that helps me do my hair! He can help me dry it at Mach speed!"

"Sometimes it misses and smacks into my head. If you ever see me rolling around on the ground in pain, that's what happened."

• Random conversation

"Back when I'd just joined the Elite Four, I'd always battle with Drifblim."

"I met it as a Drifloon at the Valley Windworks. I think it was on a Friday."

"I could sense it had a burning soul, so I decided to raise it!"

• If spoken to again

"Drifloon and Drifblim both have burning-hot spirit!"

"It's said that they even carry away people's spirits, after all!"

• Random conversation

"Yo! <player>! You remind me of a friend of mine."

"His name's Volkner. Every time I get burnt out, he comes along and gives me a recharge!"

"It goes both ways, though. When he's in a funk, it's up to me to light a fire in his heart!"

• If spoken to again

"If you remind me of Volkner, that means you're burning hot, <player>!"

"Let's keep burning hot together, all right? You're my kind of Trainer!"

• Random conversation

"Hey, I consider you a friend! So, let me tell you the key to battles!"

"The most important things for winning battles is a burning heat!"

"You've got to set your spirit on fire and burn and burn and BURN!"

"Yeeeaaaaaah! I'm gonna WIN!"

"*sigh* ... ... ... Whew."

"Like that."

• If spoken to again

"That feeling of giving your absolute 100 percent best in a battle and burning down to cinders..."

"I don't dislike it."

• Random conversation

"Whenever you're in a pickle..."

"whether I'm having a meal or taking a bath, I'll always come and help you out!"

"After all, isn't that what friends are for? We help each other out!"

"Of course, I tend to be clean out of batteries after each battle."

"You'll probably have to help me out a lot more than I'll need to help you!"

• If spoken to again

"Counting on you, partner!"

"Our battles have heat and burning spirit."

"Let's show the whole world our bright fire!"

• Special log-in conversation (generic)

"Yo! <player>! I could feel your fiery spirit!"

"Let's keep today burning hot!"
