Accompanying the announcement was a 30-second teaser trailer, which shows fan-favorite Pokémon Psyduck waddling along a sun-drenched beach as a voiceover — from series protagonist Haru — hints at the show’s premise. And we don’t know about you, but we’ve already fallen in love with it Pokemon janitor‘s unique aesthetic, which appears to be inspired by claymation.

In a press release, Netflix provided a brief description of what the show will be about. Expanding the Pokémon world, the story follows Haru, a caretaker at the Pokémon Resort, and her interactions with Pokémon and their owners who visit as guests.
Okay, that’s not much to go on, but it sounds like Pokemon janitor will be the perfect summer vacation for all Pokémon fans, wherever they live in the world. With its beautiful animation style and calming tone, we wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being used as a replacement for people’s meditation practices and/or fondness for ASMR. If we can check in with Pokémon Legendary characters, such as Ash Ketchum and Pikachu, the pair will no longer be appearing on the main Pokémon TV show after Ash finally achieves his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master.okay, janitor will only delight us more.
Little else is known about it Pokemon janitorbut dwarf studios – a Japan-based animation studio, whose work includes stop-motion shows based on Domo-Kun And Komaneko – is leading in the development of the TV series.

Unsurprisingly, no release date has been announced yet. The teaser simply states that the series is “coming soon”. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long before we can visit the resort albeit from the comfort of our own home. Don’t be surprised if it also lands on our list of the best Netflix shows once it’s released.
