Pokémon Concierge follows the story of Pokémon Resort concierge Haru (voiced by Non in Japanese/Karen Fukuhara in English), the Psyduck (Hiroshi Kosaka) she works with and the many Pokémon and Trainers who visit as guests. Haru is joined by returning characters from the first part, her coworkers Watanabe (Yoshiko Takemura/Lori Alan), Alisa (Fairouz Ai/Imani Hakim), and Tyler (Eita Okuno/Josh Keaton), with two new characters, Kent (Keita Machida/Jacob Bertrand) and Dan (Kazuhiro Yamaji/Craig Lee Thomas), to be added to the cast.
The summary for the second part reads:
"Since coming here, I haven't had to struggle so much. Maybe that's why I can actually give it my best."
Set in a resort on a tropical island resort for Pokémon, rookie concierge Haru and her partner Psyduck interact with Pokémon guests in this heartwarming story of growth.
In the new episodes (#5-8), Haru has grown a little and is no longer a newbie. She and her partner Psyduck welcome many new Pokémon to the resort, including Sealeo, Shinx, Luxray, Arcanine, and Corphish. Haru spends fun and relaxing days surrounded by these guests, occaisionally handling any problems that pop up. One day, a guy named Kent appears, and he seems to be Haru's ex-boyfriend. Why did he come to the resort? What will happen with his relationship with Haru? Plus, Tyler's uncle Dan arrives at the resort with the Sealeo that has accompanied him for 15 years. Dan, who sometimes looks a little forlorn, is troubled by something...

山下 達郎 (Tatsurō Yamashita) said:ポケモンと、ドワーフスタジオのコラボを、Netflixで、という、素晴らしい企画に参加させていただき、ありがとうございました。
1日に1チーム4秒、8チームでもやっと30秒という、とてつもない労力が費やされた映像に応えられるような作品をと、がんばって作りました。私にとってのポケモンのイメージは、オノマトペという一語に集約されます。
不安な時代を少しでも明るく、という願いを込めて。
Thank you for letting me take part in this wonderful collaboration between Pokémon and Dwarf Studios on Netflix.
We worked hard to create a film that would live up to the enormous effort that went into the footage - four seconds per team per day, or a mere 30 seconds for eight teams. My image of Pokémon can be summed up in one word: onomatopoeia.
We hope to bring a little brightness to these uncertain times.
