Pokémon Concierge

After re-getting Netflix for the new Avatar and needing something to sponge out my brain this recommendation immediately caught my eye. A big fan of Pokemon growing up, and an even bigger fan of animation now, Pokemon Concierge was a treat through and through. Fun in both its lighthearted stories of life on a serene Pokemon island resort as well as its stunning stop motion animation, seeing each new pokemon and how they'd been crafted was joy. Primarily following Haru, played by Non, the newest employee and concierge at the Pokemon resort as she helps visiting Pokemon make the most of their vacations. Equally impressive and adorable, and very short and sweet at only 4 sub 20 minute episodes, it made for a great afternoon watch. Would recommend to anyone and everyone, and especially fans of Pokemon to begin with. I look forward to hopefully seeing more.

So refreshing to see something new and creative on Netflix! The animation is gorgeous and the plot casual and wholesome. There's nothing too exciting or stressful here; no bad guys, battle of serious drama. It's just four short stories about cute Pokémon and their mediocre issues they experience that day. Would make a gorgeous game as it feel very reminiscent of animal crossing!

I'm sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea but as a life-long Pokémon fan, i sat there smiling throughout the whole thing and was left saddened that there were not more episodes. Really wanted to see that sad Houndour!

In short, watch it and support this beautiful addition to creative animation and thanks Pokémon company for daring to do something different. Eres hoping they take this same boldness with their ever deteriorating main series games.

I had the opportunity to revisit the Pokémon universe with my little cousin, and at 31, I found myself utterly captivated by the enchanting world once again. The animation is nothing short of spectacular, bringing to life the beloved characters in a way that both kids and adults can appreciate.

While the storyline may be concise, its simplicity adds to its charm, making it a perfect watch for all ages. What struck me the most were the profound life lessons subtly woven into the episodes. One particular piece of wisdom resonated deeply with me: "Don't search for something you're good at; search for something that makes you happy." It's a message that transcends age, offering genuine and timeless advice.

The overall experience felt like a warm hug for the soul. The nostalgic trip down memory lane coupled with the modern appeal of the animation made it an absolute joy. I wholeheartedly recommend this series to anyone seeking not only a delightful escape into the Pokémon world but also a gentle reminder of the simple yet profound lessons that bring happiness to our lives.

I've played the game since I was a child and it has a special place in my heart. This show honestly hits the spot I've been missing. I've always wanted to live in Pokemon world (of course that's impossible) so I was hoping for a game that's like an Animal Crossing/Harvest moon type for Pokemon but alas... so this show fulfills it. It's heartwarming slice of life. I even cried. It's like it healed something in me.

Rating it a 9 because it's too short. Would've wanted more to really flesh out the characters and the scenes more. But other than that I have no issues. It's so fun to see the models. I keep pausing just to admire the work. I wish they'd release merchandise for this. I want a miniature setup in my room.

Gorgeous stop animation Pokemon! What could you ask for more?

It looks amazing. The pokemons are so cute and the stories are so relaxing. I ended up watching the english dub just to hear the english pokemon's name.

I do wish the series is longer but I understand how difficult and time consuming stop animation is. Everything for me was perfect. It is a nice relaxing story, perfect for kids and adults.

There is no battle, just pokemon and humans living together, trying to find themselves in this gorgeous looking holiday island.

I do hope there will be a sequel for this. I want to see more Pokemon and more slice of life stories. Maybe they should make more of that camping commercial too. I would love to see it.
