For many longtimePokémonfans, the franchise’s animated catalog is full of memorable moments, butPokémon Conciergehas quickly earned a special place among the best. Now, the highest-rated Pokémon series ever made is coming back to Netflix with new episodes, making it easier than ever to enjoy the full story in one place.
After nearly two years of waiting,Pokémon Conciergewill finally continue with season 1, part 2 on June 29, 2025.The new batch of episodes, 5 through 8, will be released globally, allowing fans to pick up right where the first half left off. With its 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and glowing reviews, expectations are sky-high.
A Softer Side of the Pokémon World
Unlikethe high-energy battles of the mainlinePokémonanime,Pokémon Conciergeoffers a calm, slice-of-life approach. Developed as a collaboration between The Pokémon Company, Netflix, and Japan’s Dwarf Studios, the stop-motion series focuses on Haru, a young woman adjusting to life at the Pokémon Resort. There, she learns the value of slowing down and forming deeper connections.
The series is a technical marvel, with the first four episodes made from 80,000 individually crafted frames. Animators reportedly produced only five seconds of footage per day, resulting in an intricate, handcrafted style that perfectly matches its gentle tone. It’s an approach that has resonated with both longtime Pokémon fans and newcomers.
Over 25 Pokémon have been lovingly recreated in stop-motion for the show, including favorites like Psyduck, Eevee, Snorlax, Magikarp, and Pikachu. Their expressive designs and small-scale adventures give the series a unique charm that sets it apart from anything else in thePokémonfranchise.
The Wait for Pokémon Concierge Is Almost Over
The upcoming release marks the first time viewers will be able towatch the completePokémon Conciergeseason 1 in one place. Episodes 5–8 will pick up Haru’s journey at the resort, likely introducing new Pokémon guests and exploring her personal growth even further.
Fans have been eager for more since the show’s initial debut in late 2023. Netflix confirmed the return in early 2024, but production has taken time due to the painstaking stop-motion process. The result, however, promises to be worth the wait for those who appreciate handcrafted artistry.
In the meantime, new and returning viewers can revisit, or discover, the first four episodes, which remain available on Netflix. Whether fans are a lifelongPokémontrainer or just in the mood for something warm and relaxing, September’s release is shaping up to be a must-watch event.
