Flint & Lola

Character Bio (Flint)
Japanese Name: Muno
Debut Appearance: "Showdown in Pewter City!"

Flint is Brock's father. Flint originally ran away from Brock's family in order to become a Pokemon trainer, leaving Brock in charge of the family. Upon Brock's first meeting with Ash, however, Flint returned to look after the family. He also ran the gym temporarily until Forrest was promoted by Brock.

Character Bio (Lola)
Japanese Name: Mizuho
Debut Appearance: "A Family That Battles Together Stays Together"

Lola is Brock's mother. While she had left the family temporarily to become a Pokemon trainer, she returned amidst Brock's absence in order to run the Pewter Gym by herself. While Forrest eventually became the new gym leader, Lola occasionally tries to redecorate the gym to suit her own interests.

Discuss.

Brock's parents and family in general have amused me. He has the most messed up family in the series.

Notable episodes:

- "Showdown in Pewter City"

- Chronicles episode where Brock returns home

- "Grating Spaces" where Brock returns to Pewter Gym in Battle Frontier.

We also saw a flashback to Flint giving Brock Onix for his first pokemon in "Having a Wailord of a Time" back in Hoenn. It was nice to know that Onix (now Steelix) was Brock's first Pokemon.

I think Flint is ok. I remember him from the Pewter episode.

Though Lola confuses me. Is she Brock's Mom or Stepmom? They said Brock's mom died or something in the dub :S

That whole family confuses me. But I do believe that was a big dub error in episode 5. Because I think I remember hearing that in the Japanese version, Brock's mother wasn't around (not dead). And apparently 4Kids had a short memory otherwise I think they would have said she was a step mom in the Chronicle dub.

*nervous laugh* straying away from the subject. Well anyways, even for only 2-3 episodes involving the couple, they were most amusing. And I know we're all thinking this, Lola looks good after 10 kids. Come on, you were thinking it too!

That was a total lie. Watch that chronicles episode.

It wasn't a dub error. It was explained in that chronicles episode.

What are you talking about?

The dub clearly mentioned her dying. It wasn't a lie, it was an error.

this is out of the blue ss suikun.

It was a dubbing error. Obviously they didn't know Brock's mother would actually show up around 280 episodes later.

 

[STICKTOPIA]

wow was 4kids that bad?

How? This is the Character Discussion Thread and Brock's Parent should be up here, which they are.

Anyways, I like Brock's parents. Brock's family is kind of messed up though. I think it is cool how Flint likes Ground Types and Lola likes Water Types.

Yeah but it wasn't their fault. Like Cyber said they didn't know she'd show up in AG.
