Pokémon stop-motion series 'La Concierge Pokémon' coming to Netflix
On Pokémon Day, February 27, 2023, The Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara announced a new stop-motion animated series titled 'La Concierge Pokémon' for Netflix. The teaser, released the next day, garnered thousands of views. The series follows Haru, a concierge at the Pokémon Resort, interacting with Pokémon and their trainers. This marks a departure from the typical manga style. Additionally, Ishihara revealed that the 2023 Pokémon World Championships will be held in Japan for the first time, from August 11 to 13. The Pokémon franchise, created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996, includes video games, anime, films, manga, trading cards, and merchandise. In September 2022, La Rinascente in Milan dedicated two weeks to Pokémon, branding the store. Brands like Puma have released Pokémon-themed clothing lines, and Poste Italiane launched a traveling philatelic exhibition 'Anime in Mostra' featuring 16 reproductions of 'Pokémon Sepia Graffiti' sketches.
