Netflix's new four-part animated series, Pokémon Concierge, offers a fresh perspective on the Pokémon franchise, focusing on an island resort where Pokémon go to relax and receive care.
The series follows the journey of Haru, a new hire at the resort, who learns to care for the Pokémon and, in the process, learns to care for herself.
Unlike traditional Pokémon narratives, the series does not focus on battles but rather on the harmonious coexistence of humans and Pokémon in a stress-free environment.
The series features a unique stop-motion animation style, with Pokémon depicted in a felt-like material, adding a lifelike and endearing quality to the creatures.
Despite its short duration, the series has been praised for its calming, low-stakes slice-of-life narrative and its innovative animation style.
