An entire color combination has been forever tainted by a single, ubiquitous character. Though having a red afro doesn't really do you any favors in not being compared to the Ran Ran Ru.
Also, Flint is supposedly a Fire user? despite the fact that his Diamond/Pearl team features more non-Fire types than it does Fire types. Maybe you should've thought of the immense scarcity of Fire in Sinnoh before you decided to make a trainer specialize in the type, Gamefreak. Maybe you should've put more goddamn Fire types in the game in the first place, Gamefreak. Why don't you look me in the eyes when I'm speaking, Gamefreak.
Yeah, I know he got fixed in Platinum, I don't even care. Dude looks dorky and uncommitted to his type. Maybe with a yellow afro and a red shirt? Or would that be too Bo-bobo-esque.
As it stands, Flint should go back to flipping burgers.
Overall: 2/10
I believe you meant Diamond/Pearl, not Diamon/Platinum. And yeah, i feel sinnoh's lack of fire types is just to get people to pick the crappy fire starter, rather than the cool grass or water types.
ReplyDeleteThe game really punishes you for NOT picking the Firefighter. it's kind of dumb.
DeleteYeah, especially considering he's super effective against both torterra and empoleon.
DeleteMost of Sinnoh Elite Four looks like random npc #42 if you could see their concept art instead of their sprites.
