Book an escape from the winter doldrums at the sunny monster-battling resort in Pokémon Concierge, the new stop-motion animated series based on the global hit video game and anime franchise! A new trailer dropped today for the show, which will debut on Netflix on December 28.
Pokémon Concierge follows the daily adventures of resort newcomer Haru as she learns to take care of all the different creature guests that check in to the luxury retreat. As Haru figures out how to make her guests happy, she ends up discovering a new side to herself.
Haru and other human characters feature in the trailer alongside popular Pokémon like Psyduck, Pikachu, Eevee, Dragonite and Magikarp.
Pokémon Concierge marks the first-ever collaborative production between Netflix and The Pokémon Company, bringing fans an imaginative and ambitious stop-motion story crafted by the critically acclaimed dwarf studios. The theme song “Have a Good Time,” performed by 1980s ‘City Pop’ icon Mariya Takeuchi, celebrates the heartwarming friendship between Haru and her Pokémon guests.
