This cartoon trailer dropped a week or two ago about Pokemon Concierge, and upcoming, stop motion animated show about a pokemon hotel. It’s crazy! And I only say it’s crazy because, in retrospect, the only thing we’ve ever really seen pokemon do in the past 20+ years is fight one another.

Pokemon is the most profitable and popular pop culture franchise in the entire world. And yet we’ve only ever had one ongoing cartoon show about Pokemon battles, and then that one Detective Pikachu movie. There have been plenty of spin-off games that aren’t about fighting, but those were never as popular as the mainline games. So perhaps, at long last, the pokemon company will be making products that aren’t just animal fighting matches.

Plus, the stop motion animation looks gorgeous! Pokemon Concierge comes to Netflix on Dec. 28.
