Pokémon Concierge – Plot, Release Date, Episodes
Pokémon Concierge follows Haru, a young woman who works as a concierge at the Pokémon Resort. She encounters different types of Pokémon at work and learns life lessons that shape her journey. She arrives at the resort to detach from the stressful city life.
According to Anime News Network the upcoming episodes show Haru and her pet Psyduck at the resort as she makes new acquaintances. She is also surprised by a visit from Kent, who seems to be an ex-boyfriend who shows up with his pet Arcanine. She also meets Dan and his Pokémon Sealeo. Sealeo is a cute troublemaker at the resort, but Haru is hopeful. We also see Shinx and Luxray at the resort along with other familiar faces. The fuzzy and cuddly look of the Pokémon in this stop-motion show is enjoyable to see. The upcoming episodes will comprise episodes five to eight that take the story ahead from the earlier episodes.
The series will be aired in original Japanese voice-over and English dub on Netflix. The Japanese voice-over cast includes Non, Fairouz Ai, Eita Okuno, Yoshiko Takemura, Keita Machida, and Kazuhiro Yamaji.
