And what if you need something with an SD card slot?

That's a strange omission on a phone of this calibre. Dig deeper into the spec though and you 'll find something even worse; it'll only last as long as its battery!

I've just bought a moto g and various upgrades have happened to it (not sure whether it's on KitKat or whatever ). I can't get Adobe Flash on it - was trying to do so today, and the website said it wasn't supported by my device. I also read somewhere (not sure whether it was a reliable source) that Flash for Android is no longer available.

Adobe Flash is not supported on any Android device beyond 4.0.0
But there may be a way around it, have not bothered myself, but over the moon with my Moto G. See these search items:-

Read this forum and you will be able to understand why you cannot install Flash on Android later versions. You can try Puffin which some contributors say works fine..............

There's nothing on there that explains why I can't have it. Indeed, the first of several posts states I can....Adobe hasn't made a new version since then, and what there is available for download is for Android 3 and lower.

What do we need Flash for? I don't have it but what am I missing out on?

How long have you got?
Just one example: try and play the forecast video on the middle right of this page

Fair enough, I can't play that. I don't remember having that issue before though. Are most videos a different format now?
