Pokémon Concierge

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.

An inspiring life! It was so cute. Feel good episodes. Perfect to relax and just be happy.

No problems, just tranquility and fun!

Perfect stop motion animation. Very well made. Perfect for kids and adults with young heart!

Perfect for the family.

Too bad there's only just four episodes, hopefully they produce more.

It's a very different kind of show, haven't seeing nothing like it. But it was perfect! Brought me a huge smile! We need more shoes like this, no violence. Creative and cute.

This next part is extra. This show Made me wanna be there, in the island. Be that peaceful, and just happy.

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.

Beautiful stop motion animation. This has a special warmth about it that I, personally, don't find in the original cartoon. I always connected with the cards but struggled a bit with the animated series.

I loved the breadth of pokemon we see in a few short episodes. The sounds and dialogue are less grating than typical anime genre shows. The stories could mature a bit. But overall they created a world that was creative, comforting and a feast for the eyes.

. I love this visual addition to the Pokeverse. I'd love to get to know the characters even more. I hope for more episodes with expanded storylines soon!

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.
