By the end of the year, a new adventure will be available to stream onNetflix, bringing back one of the most beloved franchises of all time.Pokémon: Conciergewill establish the first collaboration between the streaming platform andThe Pokémon Company, setting the stage for a possible long-term relationship that could expand the series with diverse projects. The series will follow Haru, the titular concierge at the‘Pokémon Resort,’and her interactions with Pokémon and their owners who visit as guests.It remains to be seen if the show can stay as light-hearted as its premise establishes, or if chaos will follow these lovely creatures, as usual.
The original franchisebegan with eight seasons in Japan, which were translated to twenty-six seasons for international broadcasts. Each of the eight installments were based on the main video game counterparts that told the story of the world where mythical beasts are captured and collected in order for them to battle each other when their owners require them to.

Since the mission that was introduced in the very first episode of the series decades ago had finally been accomplished, it was time for a new quest to begin.Pokémon Horizons: The Serieswill introduce a new protagonist that will take over the reins from Ash, while allowing younger generations to have a clean starting point to start watching the story that had already presented years of background information.
