It looks like Netflix is set to expand the world of Pokemon into a new era. Pokemon Day is at the end of February. On this occasion, The Pokemon Company team published a big announcement for fans. It turns out that Netflix is creating a new original series based on Pokemon. The stop-motion animated series will explore an original story set in a universe we all love.
The announcement was made during the Pokemon Presents event, and Netflix shared a first look at the title. The stop-motion series is an original series that simultaneously borrows elements from manga, anime, and games. She’ll also be tracking a ton of Pokemon while on vacation at the Pokemon resort with the help of an employee named Haru, so we can expect to see a lot of cute faces in the series.
At this time, we don’t know when Pokemon Concierge will be released , but Netflix is working with The Pokemon Company to make it go live as soon as possible. As for the stop-motion animation, it will be overseen by Dwarf Studios, which previously worked with the streaming platform. They helped bring Rilakkumma and Kaoru to life, so fans can expect cute visuals from this new series.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Netflix has partnered with Pokemon. The service is currently the home of the Pokemon anime in the United States as well as several other markets outside of Japan. Of course, there are still rumors that Netflix is working on some kind of live-action project for Pokemon. No official word has been given on the latter project, but Netflix has certainly expanded its live-action adaptations recently. In the realm of anime, there are titles like One Piece on the horizon. For now, Netflix is ready to explore Pokemon with a stop-motion aesthetic.
