Happy Pokémon Day! The anniversary of Pokémon Red and Green getting released in 1996, this particular day just had an interesting bit of news. The first is “Pokémon Concierge,” a collaborative production between The Pokémon Company and an ambitious stop-motion project produced by critically acclaimed dwarf studios.
The story follows Haru, a concierge at the ‘Pokémon Resort,’ and her interactions with Pokémon and their owners who visit as guests.
“Netflix is looking forward to delighting fans in Japan and around the world with ‘Pokémon Concierge,’ an entirely new visual and storytelling experience featuring ground-breaking stop-motion animation set in the Pokémon world in close collaboration with The Pokémon Company,” Minyoung Kim, Vice President of Netflix Content in Asia said. “We’re also excited to reveal this new series on Pokémon Day and provide fans with even more things to look forward to on this special holiday celebrating the popular franchise.”
We don’t have a release date yet, but we do have a teaser!
