Quotes

"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?

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

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

"...! 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 Pokemon are inspiring!"

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

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.
