Pokémon Concierge’ Stop-Motion Series With First Teaser

In celebration of Pokémon Day, Netflix revealed a first look into their upcoming—and instantly highly anticipated—series Pokémon Concierge. The stop-motion animated show will take place on a resort in which Pokémon trainers can relax, kick back and keep their Poké Balls empty as their Pokémon can have a good time on a beach paradise. The series is yet to get a release date.

The new stop-motion TV series is produced by Dwarf Studios.It takes place at the Pokemon Resort and follows Haru, the resort concierge, as she interacts with Pokemon and other guests. Psyduck, who looks like it’s the Pokémon companion of Haru, the girl who holds the job from the title on a Pokémon resort. In the short trailer, Psyduck is walking on a white sand beach and following human footsteps, possibly from the girl. He looks worried, but we all know that’s his go-to look. The calm narration and title card suggest that Pokémon Concierge will follow some of the most slice-of-life aspects of the Pokémon franchise, and we’ll only get to watch the pocket monsters do their thing like we do on games like Pokémon Snap.

Netflix is looking forward to delighting fans in Japan and around the world with Pokemon Concierge, “an entirely new visual and storytelling experience featuring ground-breaking stop-motion animation set in the Pokémon world in close collaboration with The Pokemon Company,” Minyoung Kim, the Vice President of Netflix Content in Asia, said in a press release.

Dwarf Studios’ previous work includes Disney’s Monsters at Work and Netflix original series Trash Truck.

Celebrating the anniversary of their original game release in 1996, also known as “Pokemon Day,” the Pokemon Company made several announcements on February 27, 2023, regarding their upcoming projects, including Pokemon Concierge.
