Description One for the older ones coz I doubt if many will remember this anime series.

One of the Few anime shows that ran on CBBC (This one between 1999 and 2000) Besides Monster Rancher, Thundercats and, if you REALLY wanna go back, Dragonball Z (Yes it DID run on CBBC back in the early 90s). A kids show that was kinda like Pokemon in a way, Flint the Time Detective.

(From the Wiki article)
The show is centered around the adventures of Flint Hammerhead, the "Time Detective," a boy from the prehistoric era who was resurrected from a fossil and became a Time Detective, although his competency as a detective is dubious. Much like Inspector Gadget, much of the heavy thinking is done by Flint's friends, Sarah and Tony Goodman, who accompany him on his adventures. Flint, however, pulled his weight in battle, when he would fight with the aid of his father Rocky Hammerhead, whose partial resurrection left him a sentient, talking rock with a face. Rocky, fashioned into a hammer for Flint, served Flint as both sturdy weapon and adviser, the latter both in and out of battle. Flint's job as a Time Detective was to go back in time and convince time-shifters- cute, collectible creatures - to ally with him to protect the timeline.

Anyone wish to share their memories of the show, feel free in the comments.

How would you compare this to Pokemon?

It is a bit like Pokemon in a sense- with creatures that evolve. Petra always reminded me of Jessie as well.

Flint the Time Detective, eh?  *Sighs happily* That takes me back to my preteen years.  Didn't know you were into this cool show, David.

It was one of the few animes I remember watching on a Kids channel that wasn't on one you can't get normally. Like they showed This and Monster Rancher and WAY back in the day..The UK dub of Dragonball Z and Thundercats on CBBC. Whist on CITV they showed Pokemon and Digimon and later Cardcaptors (although I feel like they cut quite a bit out of the dub).

I think that was the idea


On the Wiki page, Viewers says that Flint resembles Son Goku  from Dragon Ball  and his weakness is when his stomach runs on empty.
