Pokémon Concierge is the new stop-motion animation show from dwarf studios and Netflix. It shows that even Psyduck can be a wonderful mascot for Pokémon.
Step aside, Pikachu! Pokémon has found its new star, and that glittering beacon is a round yellow duck with chronic headaches. Psyduck is the scene-stealing pal of Pokémon Concierge, a new stop-motion animated Pokémon series from Netflix and dwarf studios. Like any good Pokémon show, this series contains plenty of cute little guys to go gaga over, but Psyduck stands out from the crowd. Pokémon Concierge is pure Psyduck propaganda, and I’m here for it.
Pokémon Concierge follows a young woman named Haru as she takes a new job working at a Pokémon resort. In her role, she must keep the Pokémon happy and make sure they’re having fun (the concierge to the Pokémon, if you will). At first, she has trouble finding the perfect Pokémon partner, but after a chance encounter, she sets her heart on befriending Psyduck, who goes on to be her main bud for the show.
If you want to love this Psyduck, all you need to do is see the dang duck do anything. I love the way it scrunches up its eyes when it uses its psychic powers or the look of absolute horror as it goes underwater despite being a water-type Pokémon.
