'', known as '''''Space-Time Detective Genshi-kun''''' (時空探偵ゲンシクン ''Jikū Tantei Genshi-kun'') in
Japan ,
Animated Japanese Television Series , directed by
Hiroshi Fukutomi .
''Space-Time Detective Genshi-kun'' aired from 1998 to 1999 in Japan and ran for 43 episodes.
Enoki Films USA holds the license to ''Flint the Time Detective''.
The show is centred 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 would be done by Flint's accomplices, 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, who had also been partially resurrected from a fossil (however, his ressurrection was not completely successful, leaving him as a sentient rock with a face; all he could do was talk. He was fashioned into a hammer for Flint, who, in addition to being a sturdy weapon, could give him sage advice in and out of combat.) Flint's job as a Time Detective was to go back in time and convince a race of time-shifters to ally with him to protect the timeline.
Usually he fought against Petra Fina and her cronies Dino and Mite (very reminiscent of
Team Rocket from
Pokémon ) who were in the employ of a masked being called Dark Lord to retrieve the time-shifters for his own purposes - invade the Land of Time (where he scattered the Time Shifters from). The creatures were similar to
Pokémon or
Digimon in that, in addition to their collectivity, they originate as small, cute creatures, who can evolve into much stronger forms (usually they had two evolutions, an evil one induced by Dark Lord's magic in the form of the Petra Stamp/Uglinator, and a good one later induced by Flint and company) before reverting back again.
