Pokémon Concierge · review
Yeah, it’s cute. The stop motion looks pretty good, albeit some of the Pokemon themselves only have glued on expression changes. It’s fluidly animated and its human characters look good. That being said, the narrative is nothing to write home about. Little lessons are learned by our lead each episode as she picks up the concierge craft, but it all feels very safe. I give this some credit for just letting us sit in the Pokemon world for a bit without battles or major stakes, but it feels just like a day in the life of a neurotic young woman as she seeks to fit inworking in a Pokemon resort. That’s fine, and it does pretty well at it, but that’s a low bar for success. Worth the watch if you like the world (I do, well enough anyway), but nothing special.
