The latest release and positive reception of Pokemon Concierge could finally prompt Game Freak to introduce a life sim spin-off to the franchise, especially with Animal Crossing: New Horizons providing the ideal blueprint for Pokemon to follow. Among many current and upcoming Pokemon TV and anime series, like Pokemon Horizons or Pokemon: Paldean Winds, Pokemon Concierge was already an outlier for its distinctive stop-motion animation and less traditional story. With Pokemon Concierge's reviews praising its relaxed and stylish charm, the series has found another new direction Pokemon could expand into alongside like-minded games such as Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.
