La réceptionniste Pokémon

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.

As a lifelong Pokémon fan, I've always wanted a show like this: a piece that explores the relationship between people and Pokémon in a casual setting. The GameCube's Pokémon Channel was really the first and only time I remember. Pokémon Concierge is a short but delightful slice of Pokémon media. There's no thrilling battles here. Instead we get Haru, a down-on-her-luck office employee who takes a job at the Pokémon Resort for a change in scenery.

The series artfully blends cute Pokémon visuals with stories about how Haru helps Pokémon and in doing so learns a little about herself. At around 60 minutes total runtime, it's a must-watch for ANY Pokémon fan, regardless of age.

If I had one nitpick it's that the first episode is far weaker than the following three as it serves as mostly introduction.

Well this was certainly very different but I was charmed almost immediately by the felt, you know the fuzzy part of some of the Pokemon, made me wanna reach right out and pet them! I thought the first episode was a little slow but that was fine because it was an establishing episode, we're meeting this new character who's not a trainer, nice refreshing change, and the animation was so terrifically different and bright and cheerful, but it's quite visually loveable and it gets to the heart of the matter quite gracefully, I really loved the lessons that it had to tell were done in a really subtle kind of way that wasn't too overbearing and they didn't have to yell it out loud to you, saying stuff like you may not be perfect or the best at swimming or whatever but you're still special just like you are, you don't have to be, I loved the episode with the Magikarp that lost its rubber swimming ring, and the thrilling ride on the Dragonite, I don't think I've ever seen the Pokemon look so cool and loveable and just, gracefully dragon-like in flight before, and it had a Snorlax too, which is a big plus because he's my favourite he just does his own thing lol. This was very nice indeed and mellow and just a lot of simple wholesome fun, it's cool to see Pokemon in a different way than battling, just a very nice surprise, I thought it would be for babies going by how it looked in the first images I saw, but I was very intrigued just the same and it didn't disappoint. This really cheered me up, it was possibly the most genuinely sweet thing I've seen in ages! Wonderful, what a little joy of a show. I already want 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.

It's so sweet and relaxing animation. Had a great fun watching it. This adds a new dimension in the pokemon universe as the series successfully shows the pokemon world from a different perspective.

The stories are short but they were impactful. Each episode gives us a message especially the last episode teach us a great life lesson.

The main protagonist was great as it should be. The other characters were also unique in their own way adding different colours to the story.

The animation was top-notch. This animation make the pokemon much cuter and adorable making the anime so sweet to watch.

Also the song was too beautiful.

Finally, Psyduck as the main pokemon was a treat for me. Personally Psyduck is my favourite pokemon and it looked so adorable making the series an absolute blast for me.
