Ahead of the premiere of stop-motion animation series, “Pokémon Concierge” on December 28, Netflix is giving fans a sneak peek into the many Pokémon at the Pokémon Resort, a picturesque southern island where Pokémon come to unwind. And also a lead actress Non, who performs the voice of Haru, takes us on a visit to dwarf studios, where we get a glimpse of Haru, Psyduck and a variety of other Pokémon!
“Pokémon Concierge” After a repetition of bad luck, late 20s Haru starts a new job as a concierge on an isolated island at the Pokémon Resort, where Pokémon live, roam, and relax freely. She comes to realize that in order to give the Pokémon the best stay at the resort, she must first enjoy it herself. Haru gains a new purpose in life with the help of the Pokémon.
