Trailer,


I guess Netflix is offering another Pokemon product to put you a sleep I see.

No date given or details, but apparently a Psyduck walking on a grey space with some tree outlines was good enough for the trailer which i guess Netflix though would drum up hype.

Just based on the concept this seems boring. So there's a human concierge and pokemon visit a resort and I guess you want them run around? I supposed they are betting on the stop animation to help the series take off.

Same! I mean.. Doing stop motion animation is so time consuming and such a niche genre they almost always put a lot of passion into it.

Do the pokemon talk or just say their names still?

Psyduck is objectively the worst pokemon.

Animal Crossing meets Pokemon. I'll probably check it out.

 

[Spaceman292]

I used to think you pronounced it 'Pussy-duck'.

 

[nkarafo]

Is it real stop motion though? Or just CGi with a stop motion style?

People have been trying to get a direct answer for that, but so far no response from what I've researched.

Granted, even if it is real the concept seems a bit basic. So every episode is similar to the Pikachus vacation short but with one human? Not much content you can do with that.
