Pinch flats are caused by not enough air pressure, try increasing your pressure by 5psi and see what happens. You should obviously try avoiding potholes! Also if the tire's sidewalls are flimsy you may want to go to a sturdier (stiffer) sidewalled tire like Specialized Armadillo All Condition tires, there are other brands too; but the stiffer sidewalls will hold up better to pothole attacks preventing pinch flats.
